Naughty childhood days:

Rajiv was the youngest of the siblings. He was a real naughty kid. So it goes
without saying that he was a real pain in the neck for parents. What is most amusing is
that in spite of standing most of school days either outside his class or in principle’s
office in St. Xavier’s High School, Ville Parle, Mumbai, he was so smart & intelligent
that he would end up being topper in his class without mundane muggings or revisions.
He was the daily prankster just equally well known for his brilliance as well.
As a 4th grader, he would use his leg plastered in an accident for getting his
homework done by his friends & enjoy playing football himself in the breaks. When his
teacher questioned him about it, he sharply replied that foot ball was recommended by his
doctor for improving his foot. His teacher asked him further on reason to get his friends
to do his homework, as his legs might be fractured not his hands, which would be needed
for doing homework, were just fine. Then reluctantly he had to start doing his homework
by himself thereafter.
Due to late marks & bunks from the class for sports & pranks, every other day, his
mother was called to school. The quick witted Rajiv would present his elder sister as his
guardian in school by misleading an invite of a non existent school party to his sister.
Then she would land up in front of complaints of the teacher against Rajiv instead of
party. Gradually, he started bribing his elder sister for listening to all the complaints. A
mastermind or what!
No one was spared from his pranks. He would circulate all the spicy tales of
mass-bunking, principle’s rounds, and the punishments on the platter to all. When he
passed S.S.C exams, his teachers threw party for themselves instead of farewell party for
students. I was a very curious, fearless, adventurous child and use to take a lot of risk .i
wonder some times how am still alive and without serious injury.i took all the challenges
childhood had to offer to me and made the most of it. When i was young the definition of
fun and pleasure was so simple, every day was a adventure .now i hv everything
considered pleasurable but i had never experience even half of my childhood fun from it.
Young teen rock star:

From the child artist in movie “Kitabh”, which was shot in his school to modeling
in TV commercials like “Bosco Radio”, “Campa Cola” “Dabur Neem Toothpaste” to the
co-anchor with Ruby Bhatia to a role of the son to Satish Shah in the sitcom “Ye Hai
Zindagi, Rajiv explored entertainment media with sense of experimentation & drive.
After the formulation of media companies, he has led it from the front. He has not
only been a judge of many contests like Kshitij”, “Malhar” “Powai Youth Festival”
among others but also been a spokesperson of his companies & also worked as host and
anchor of many programs and the producer with same excellence he showed all his life.
As a cherry on the top of the cake, he still continued to enjoy his passion for writing &
editing.
Teenager to the enterprising young man with a vision:

As a young man willing to acquire a bike, his parents sent a DD of Rs. 5,000 to
the company. The DD returned with overbooking. This loss became his gain as he started
his account & his quest for success from the same money. Instead of buying another bike,
this Rajasthani lad worked furiously in 6 years of his college to multiply that amount.
It took him 6 years to turn that first DD of Rs. 5,000 into 15 crores, which was the
foundation of Krishna Group of Companies and Fact Group of Companies. Now it didn’t
come as easy as it appears. He did his pursuit for it through some shares, bulk deals, land
deals, etc. He made crores & lost them just as well. By the time he graduated from
L.S.Raheja, Santacruz-west, Mumbai, he had crores in his bank account. But he lost it all
in the highly infamous Harshad Mehta’s scam.
Just as it happens in films, he had lost it all except for himself. After falling and
Recovering his debts from the people, he restarted his growth. Suddenly from nowhere,
his life took an interesting turn.
As he was waiting for an associate near Andheri station, a newspaper flew in his
direction. It flew back to him, even as he had returned it to the vendor. He finally
purchased it, reluctantly. From the paper in unkwon language, he found an ad for MBA in
English. He took that turn & got admission through grueling series of selection. After
going through few horrifying experiences and a number of unnecessary operations, he
came back alive from ashes, just like a phoenix. Then he turned his vegetative state into a
marvel and created 34 companies worth more than 1.5 billion dollars. This & his further
adventures will be shown in a beautiful movie - “Aankha – the unknown”
From writer of movies, to owner of concepts of pageants to a producer seriously
involved in all the aspects of film making, he does it all with sense of dedication,
determination & commitment. Once he makes up his mind on something there is no
turning back, he will achieve whatever he has set his mind on. He is a man beyond the
words like impossible. He has achieved the impossible, continues to work 14 hours a day
and yet thinks that he is under worked.
But the world has reckon his genious for sure. It shows in the national &
international awards he has won like Indian achievers Award, Udyog Ratna Award,
Bharat Gaurav Puraskar , “A Marvel” (Thailand) ,Pride of Asia (Dubai), King of
Pageants (Muscat), Best Citizen Award, Best Corporate Citizen Award, Welfare of under
Privileged Children Award, National Contribution Award, Youngest
Entrepreneur(London), All India Achievers Award, Young Achiever Award (Singapore)
etc. Yet it doesn’t say enough about the man of his stature, somehow.

the managing community of many associations really diligently. Then again he supports
Help Age India, Good Samaritan, Sparsh Suicide Prevention Organization, Slum
re-development organization among many others as an active member.
His Dream:
For man who has it all & gives the world all, he has few more dreams on the list
to be fulfilled. He has a dream to travel the whole world in a hot air balloon and stay in a
tree house centrally located in a forest near a water hole. However, it’s no surprise for a
car lover he is that he has a dream to participate in a cross-country auto race.
