CREATING A GLOBAL COMMUNITY

A PASSION FOR THE ARTS AND a creative bent of mind runs in the Barjatya genes. With roots in Kuchaman and Kishangarh in Rajasthan, Chanda Barjatya Surana, the only daughter of the late Rajkumar Barjatya and granddaughter of the late Tarachand Barjatya, the founder of the pioneering film production house, Rajshri Productions, grew up in a cultured joint family. The environment was full of fun, love and frolic and she felt she was blessed to grow up in an environment where relationships held a lot of importance in life. “as the younger sibling, I idolised my elder brother, the legendary filmmaker Sooraj R Barjatya, whose strong work ethic and humility have always inspired me deeply,” says Chanda Barjatya Surana, who herself is a trained Kathak and odissi dancer and a certified player of piano and tabla as well. a commerce graduate from Sydenham College, Mumbai, she has dabbled in the family business too, writing the script for two films under the guidance and encouragement of her father.

Marital bliss

Chanda Barjatya Surana is married into the Surana family (owners of the prestigious Bhuramal Rajmal Surana Jewellers of Jaipur) who pioneered the ‘Jaipur Jadau’ style of jewellery making and are also the proud owners of the iconic Raj Mandir Cinema in Jaipur. Marriage to Pankaj Surana took her across the globe, and she moved to New York, where she lived for 14 years. The family finally moved back to India to take care of the family business and heritage, and as of now, Chanda Barjatya Surana is settled in Mumbai with her two sons, Eshan and Suyash, and her husband, while the rest of the family is in Jaipur.
