Rajeshwari Sachdev

Actor · Born April 14, 1975 (51) · Bombay, Maharashtra, India

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.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
