Our indian translation to sakshatkar is Interview.

Yes, this makes sense. How so? Note the difference in the pronuncation of word 1 and 2 below. Word 2, sākṣātkara, is without
the long ā. Just this change takes us to a slightly different ( yet associated) definition:

sākṣātkāra is evident or intuitive perception , realization.
sākṣātkara साक्षात्कर - putting before the eyes , making evident to the senses

Note with sākṣātkara as 'interview' we are putting before ones eyes. This can even be the interviewer, whose eyes
and mind we use to come to know another ( via their interview with another person).

Guptaji is right - it is one of the meanings , with a long a in both places - the way i have always heard it in other Indian languages too.

Yes, what you offer and Guptaji offers makes perfect sense in Hindi. Yet the Hindi definition is not 100% aligned to saṃskṛtam. This also occurs in Tamil, etc. Yet we can see a common thread back to its roots of saṃskṛtam.

This happens in many languages such as English going back to many roots in Latin. We can 'connect the dots' accordingly and appreciate how the word-definition evolves over time.

What to say about knowledge of smaranamji , it is transcendental always .
Actually krsn knows the bhava [ emotion /nature ] and not the language .
One my friend felt always sorry when he used to tell his name as people laughed .
His name was jardar manranjan , but he used to pronounce as ..jordar manoranjan [ heavy entertainment ]
