What happens when one of Hollywood’s most revered actors speaks? Not about fame or fortune, but about faith, freedom and the future of shared humanity? WION, India’s first and only global news channel, is all set to air its interview with Richard Gere, aglobal film icon, tireless humanitarian and one of the world’s most passionate advocates for the people of Tibet.

The special episode of ‘The Interview’ will be telecast July 26 evening, with repeat telecasts scheduled at 8 am on July 27, and again at 2.30 pm on July 27. It promises to be one of the most compelling, unfiltered conversations ever brought to global audiences, a press release from WION stated

In this rare and riveting exchange with WION’s Molly Gambhir, Gere reveals the spiritual truths that have guided his life — from his first transformative encounter with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, to his deep immersion in Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, and the moral convictions that drive his global activism.

This conversation transcends the format of an interview as it stands as a moving blueprint of moral clarity, emotional depth and fearless advocacy.

From fond memories of monsoon evenings in Tibetan homes to navigating Hollywood with purpose and conviction, the widespread audience will also have the opportunity to gain insight into rare personal stories that reveal a life guided by compassion, humility and spiritual strength.

WION managing editor Rabin Sharma emphasised the significance of the conversation stating: “Richard Gere’s perspective offers rare and powerful insight into issues that cut across borders and belief systems—from spiritual identity to the global struggle for human dignity. At WION, we are committed to telling stories that transcend headlines. This interview is not just timely—it’s timeless. It invites viewers everywhere to reflect, rethink, and reimagine the kind of world we want to live in.”
