Family Ties

Meet the family that eats, sleeps and breathes movies, with dad Ajay Bijli skillfully, yet quietly, guiding his kids Niharika, Nayana Aamer behind the scenes

When 25 - y e a r old Ajay Bijli’s father passed away , he left behind a solid legacy in the form of a well-established transport company and strong family values to last a lifetime. At 55-years-old, Ajay has successfully built his own brand that is a household name today—PVR Cinemas—from the ground up, and established a legacy all his own to pass on to his children, along with the very same values that he has always held dear.

Perhaps the most important values he’s inculcated in his children, Niharika, Nayana and Aamer, are sincerity, integrity and humility. However, since they were surrounded by a lot of movies growing up, the one habit they picked up by default was a passion for watching movies—although when you speak to the three, the word ‘passion’ seems to fall short; ‘obsession’ may be more accurate. Now, like their father, the three are turning their obsession into something more productive.
