Bollywood Film Clans - The Barjatya Family

The Barjatya Family

The Barjatya family starts with Tarachand Barjatya, who was a film producer and director and set up his Rajshri Productions, in the late 1940s. Tarachand Barjatya had three sons, Kamal Kumar Barjatya, Raj Kumar Barjatya and Ajit Kumar Barjatya, all of whom are active in bringing the Rajshri empire to great heights. The company saw an all time up swing in revenues when Raj Kumar Barjatya's son, Sooraj R. Barjatya, started his film making career with the 1989 blockbuster, Maine Pyar Kiya and eventually with, Hum Aapke Hain Koun and Hum Saath Saath Hain. The company is now led by the third generation of Barjatya's, namely, Kavita K. Barjatya, Sooraj R. Barjatya and Rajat A. Barjatya.

Famous quotes containing the word family:

    The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.
    Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
