Rajan Shahi
Director
neha > Which is your favorite serial of your amongst all the you have worked on
rajans > All the shows... Dil hai ki Maanta Nahi which was my first Directorial Debut...

yatin > Who is your favorite actor and actress you would like to work with?
rajans > I am already working with best actors in the industry .. but I am looking forward to work with Renuka Sahane and Mona Singh once more

yatin > What are your Upcoming Projects?
rajans > I am planning an new show basically a love story.. I am trying to get another element in that new serial. I am trying to create a new genre for that serial unlike Bidaai which revolves around the simplicity of life ... This project will have a bigger canvas, bigger production values etc. The USP of the serial will be the main lead i.e. the boy and the girl will be fresh faces. We are looking for new talents whom we can launch with the launch of my next show.

yatin > One thing you want to change about yourself?
rajans > I wish I had more time to look after my health. What ever free time I get I try to spend each and every moment of it with my family... so I need to be a bit health conscious.

shivendra > What about those people who have acted in their childhood, are living in remote area are now in middle of age still interested in acting ? What can they do to fulfill their desire? What are you doing to help those people?
rajans > I have set up a mail id:dkpnewtalent@gmail.com and postal mail id i.e. Post Box number 11984 Azad Nagar, Mumbai 53 where people can send there resume to me as I am trying to source out new faces for my new show. So Interested people can reach to us.....

rohan > Your serial Bidaai is totally different from these Saas Bahu serial ...........don't you like the saas bhaau serials?
rajans > No it is not about liking or disliking... My USP is always being that my serials were always from different genre....Bidaai again has its own flavor. So my serials have a different technique.

rohan > Don't you think that in today's world no one is so sacrificing and ideal as you are showing Sadana in Bidaai. Don't you think it is quite filmy?
rajans > She is somewhere when they spoke about love between two sisters... so I thought to portray relation in its simplicity, relation should look real and normal which is loosing out in our everyday life...love between relation and family is the foundation of this serial.

dheer > Did you ever thought that the unconventional story line up of Jassi would be so much appreciated by Indian audience
rajans > I never realized while working on it.. But it was something different and nice and left a commendable mark on audience and I never thought of the appreciation it got

rohan > What have to chosen Agra as a shooting location for your serial?
rajans > It was decided that story will be based in Agra... Kind of story we were putting across demanded small town... We found people rooted and grounded and very innocent so we decided to go for Agra than any other place.

rohan > Today most of the serials are women oriented or they revolves around female character why is it so?
rajans > I think somehow audience prefers that way... Relationship and the people around matters than a serial being woman oriented ....show does well because of character.

raanu > Do you ever wish to direct a comedy serial like Office Office and all
rajans > I don't plan but I want to do a love story... I am doing that now. I don't have any desire to direct a comedy in near future.

sundeep > Making a serial is all Team work... What do you have to say on this?
rajans > A good team make a good director so its has to be a cooperative team .. Involving everybody in the production is utmost important.
