Rajshri Productions is my second home: Rakhi Luthra, In-House Creative

Rakhi Luthra beams with energy, enthusiasm and confidence, and this actually speaks volumes about the happy ambience she’s presently in. The girl who always desired to look for a career related to art and entertainment joined the esteemed organization of Rajshri Productions in the year 2008. Having had a flourishing career with the company, Rakhi has had a great learning curve.

Positioned as the In-house Creative in Rajshri Productions, Rakhi speaks about her journey with the production house, on her learning curve, and the huge plunge she’s all set for in her personal life...

Excerpts:

How did you begin your career?
I started my career with a job in an advertising agency. I got my big break in the year 2008 when I got an offer from Rajshri Productions. And from that day to this date, I have been with the company. It has been a phase to cherish, with me learning a lot. I started as the Office Executive and now hold the post of being the In-house Creative.

How has the overall experience been of working with Rajshri?
Well, it is my second home. With Rajshri, it is indeed a different level of experience. People out there treat us as their own family member. Everyone starting from Soorajji (Barjatya) to Raj Babuji (Barjatya) are so humble and down to earth. I am glad that I have the ‘aura’ of Rajshri family around me.
Work ethics of Rajshri actually reflect in my day to day life too. On a personal level, I have had a good growth. My confidence level has increased and since I get to meet various kinds of people, I have got a hold on dealing with the good and rude ones.

The TV division of Rajshri Productions was earlier headed by Kavita Barjatya. But now she is not there. Your thoughts.
Yes, it was a great experience working with Kavitaji. I have learnt a lot from her and we even now follow whatever she has taught us. When Kavitaji decided to leave Rajshri and go independent, she advised us to follow her words and follow the norms set by the company. And till date, we abide to all that she said.

So how’s the setup different now when compared to the times when Kavita used to head?
See, the setup has always been the same. Earlier, we used to work under Kavitaji. Now, we directly talk to Soorajji. And working with Soorajji and understanding the level of creative inputs he has is something mindblowing. We tend to say that TV is larger than life; but after working with Soorajji, I realize that his inputs are always huge.

Take us through the shows you have been part of on a creative basis.
When I joined Rajshri, Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki and Main Teri Parchhain were on. So I got on board those shows. Yahaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli was my first major launch. It was followed by shows Jhilmil Sitaaron Ka Aangan Hoga, Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara and Mere Rang Mein Rangne Waali.

What are the plans of Rajshri now?
Well, Soorajji was on a TV break as he was busy with the movie Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo. Now we have started pitching new concepts for TV.

How much does the team of Rajshri mean to you?
Well, there was a time when I took a break from work and had gone home. I was not working for nearly 6 months. When my team got to know that I was at home and not occupied with anything else, they called me and said, ‘Get back home’... And I promptly got back (smiles). This actually explains our rapport.

Who has been your inspiration in terms of work?      
It has to be Kavitaji. She will always remain my inspiration as I have learnt a lot from her.

Tell us about the new development in your personal life.. Hear you are all set to get married... Congratulations, Rakhi!!
Yes, you heard it right!! My wedding is on 8 November. Puneet Vijan, my would-be is into corporate events. Ours is an arranged marriage. I am presently on a break from work. My team at Rajshri has been very excited about my wedding.

Here’s wishing you a great future, Rakhi!!
