Name: Shrishti Arya
Marital Status: Married to cinematographer Sameer Arya.
Trivia: A well-known television and film producer, Shrishti Arya started her career way back in 1998, when she co- produced Angaaray starring Akshay Kumar and Pooja Bhatt. Although just 4 films old in the film industry, Shrishti has been quite popular on the small screen with more than 10 television shows to her credit.
Biography: Daughter of producer Ramesh Behl and sister of filmmaker Goldie Behl (Sonali Bendre's husband), Shrishti Arya has been one strong woman throughout her life. She took up a job in marketing at a young age of 15 just to earn some pocket money. The sudden demise of her father meant that she and her brother had to shoulder the entire responsibility of their production house Rose Audio Visuals Pvt. Ltd.
Shrishti and Goldie's first project was Angaaray' in 1998. In 2001, Goldie debuted as a director with Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai', which was produced by Shrishti. The film was a total box office dud and starred Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukerji in the lead roles.
Since the two films did not work well for the producer, she decided to shift her focus to television. She made a successful debut with her daily soap Lipstick' which aired on Zee TV. The show, which was about two women fighting for power, was well- received by audiences. Her next show Jeet' was about professors and their relationships with students in colleges. It aired on Sony TV and had a decent run on television. Her latest show was Dekha Ek Khwaab' which aired on Sony TV from November 2011 to August 2012.
Besides these, her production house Rose Audi Visuals also produced many television shows under her guidance. Na Na Karte, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, India Calling, Twinkle Beauty Parlour, Baccha Party, Remix, Aathvaan Vachan, Guns & Roses and Thoda Hai Bas Thode Ki Zaroorat Hai were shows which aired on various television channels and belonged to different genres and themes.
Meanwhile, Shrishti, whose Twitter profile description reads "A constant, committed searcher for meaning... and stories to tell!!!', also produced Drona' in 2008. Drona was directed by Goldie and had Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra as leads. The film failed miserably at the box office and managed to recover just a quarter of its budget. In March 2012, her film London Paris New York' released. Starring Ali Zafar and Aditi Rao Hydari, the film gained average to positive reviews.
Coming up next from the brave and talented woman is a romantic comedy film I, Me Aur Main' starring John Abraham, Prachi Desai and Chitrangada Singh. Also in line is an untitled collaboration with director Tigmanshu Dhulia, which is said to be an adaptation of Shakespeare's famous play Hamlet.
