Shailja Kejriwal

Shailja Kejriwal is an accomplished name in the field of Indian media and entertainment but also one of the few to have created content for various mediums such as television, web, film and theatre. Her repertoire ranges from commissioning the unique format of Star Bestsellers on the small screen in 1999 and bringing the popular K brand of serials for Star India to launching Pakistani shows on Indian TV through the Zindagi Channel. Kejriwal is also the first Indian producer to have produced films by Pakistani filmmakers through Zeal for Unity – Zee Entertainment’s apolitical platform to bring together Indian and Pakistani filmmakers. Her vision of non-formulaic storytelling, the medium notwithstanding, is further seen through her ventures such as Zee Theatre – the biggest initiative to revive and catalogue Indian theatre, and films such as Madaari and Qarib Qarib
