Rajeshwari Sachdev started her career on stage doing plays with The
Indian People's Theatre Association at Prithvi. She went on to doing
films winning the Maharashtra State Government Award for Best Actress
in her debut film "Aaytya Gharat Gharoba" directed by Sachin. Her role
in Shyam Benegal's "Sardari Begum" got her the National Award for Best
Actress in a Supporting Role. She has worked in 8 of his films. She blazed the television screen in
Margarita & bagged the Screen Award for Best Actress. She won the screen award again for the best actress and also the MATA (Maharashtra times award) for her performance in the film "Aarambh".
Rajeshwari's big break came in the form of the Hollywood epic "Little
Buddha" opposite Keanu Reeves and directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Being
a performing artist it was only but natural that this ball of talent
went on to explore new fields. With 13 years of training in Bharat
Natyam (an Indian dance form), the only other field left to explore was singing. As of 2004
she has three pop CDs; "Hulle Hullare", "Mukhda Piya Ka" and "Ummang".
She is performing her plays "Gauhar" directed by Lillette Dubey and "Shabdh Leela" where she acts with her husband Varun Badola directed by K.K. Raina. Her father is Inderjit Sachdev, an actor, too.
