After my father Aanjjan Srivastav’s accident in 2002, we’ve seen days when we struggled to survive': Ranjana Aanjjan | Exclusive
After spending nearly 15 years immersed in theatre, Ranjana Aanjjan has finally stepped into the world of screen acting with Chand Tara — a project that has already earned the distinction of having its trailer screened at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.
But for Ranjana, the journey has never been about glamour or overnight fame. Raised in a deeply rooted theatre family and mentored by stalwarts like her father Aanjjan Srivastav, alongside legends from the Indian People’s Theatre Association fraternity, she grew up believing in craft, discipline, and the process more than the outcome.
In this candid conversation with ETimes, Ranjana opens up about the overwhelming transition from stage to screen, her father’s unwavering support, the financial struggles that shaped her middle-class upbringing, and the life lessons she learned from icons.
