Shivam Rajput
Shivam Rajput’s journey is honestly kinda wild. Born in Hisar, Haryana, the dude started out in textile engineering—yeah, you read that right—but ditched all that for the chaos and buzz of Mumbai’s entertainment world. And let’s be real, the move paid off. He’s now got his fingerprints all over some of Indian TV’s biggest hits. We’re talking about massive serials like Anupama, Kundali Bhagya, and Kumkum Bhagya—the kind your mom refuses to miss even for a wedding.
But Shivam didn’t just stick to TV. He slid into Bollywood, working on star-studded projects like Chandu Champion with Kartik Aaryan and Chaava with Vicky Kaushal. The guy’s got an eye for talent and can spot the right face for any role—probably even in his sleep. As a Casting Director, he led the charge on Dal Chini (which, by the way, got critics talking) and took the reins for Udaariyan’s third season, pulling together a cast that actually feels like real people, not cardboard cutouts.
Plus, he’s got a knack for those gritty, crime-based dramas—Crime Patrol, Crime Alert, and Crime & Confession on ALT Balaji. It’s like he thrives on variety, always mixing things up. People in the industry trust him because he just gets it—aligning the perfect talent with the wildest creative ideas. At this point, Shivam isn’t just riding the wave; he’s shaping where it goes next.
