a mother and now a producer. Let’s Talk Life, with Dr. Neha Rajpal, where she takes us through her mesmerizing journey
from being a doctor to following her passion for music and now production.
- Kindly tell us something about yourself?
I always
had a passion for music, specially singing. I started singing at a tender
age of 4, where my father strummed the guitar while grooming me . As I
started growing up, I took training in Classical music from Smt Vibhavari
Bandhavkar and light music from Late Anil Mohile. Whilst in school and
college, I polished my singing by participating and winning various inter
collegiate and inter school competition. While cherishing my love for music, I simultaneously
followed my dream to become a Doctor, which I fulfilled by completing my
M.B.B.S and my journey continues.......
- What are you currently doing professionally?
Currently I am Professional
Singer, Composer, Lyricist, a TV show
Presenter ,Managing Director of NRP ( Neha Rajpal Productions)
Film producer.
- You are multi faced personality, talk about your shift from being a doctor to a singer and now a producer?
I always believe
that "Change is the only constant" I believe in reinventing
myself in the most dynamic way. Versatility is the word that inspires me! I
never leave an opportunity that comes my way. I always wanted to become a
doctor and I did it. At the same time I won a prestigious Hindi Singing reality
show SaReGaMaPa on ZeeTv, which opened new avenues for me in playback singing and singing jingles. I still enjoy every single moment while recording a new
song... It always feels new. After about building a network in Marathi film
industry, it was a right time to take a leap. Production was the best way to
reinvent a commercial panorama in me. To create a great commercial film,
keeping in mind the artistic approach was my motto. Through PhotoCopy we have exactly executed
the same. Marathi films are touching new heights and commercially they are generating
great ROI’s. Therefore through NRP (Neha Rajpal Productions), I enjoy each and
every process. I would take this medium to extend a BIG THANK YOU to my husband
Dr Akash Rajpal who has always been encouraging and my emotional
anchor, who motivated me to be an entrepreneur and help me take this big leap.

Respect &

- Challenges that you faced during your journey? How did you overcome them?
Proving my
language skill in Marathi, with the disadvantage of having non Marathi surname
has been the biggest challenge. I belong from a cosmopolitan family, My mother is a Kudalkar (Maharashtrian), my
father a Punjabi and my husband a Sindhi! It has been a tough time proving and
convincing people that Marathi is my own language! After immense efforts, I am
glad that all trusted my ability to speak & sing in Marathi! Now with
changing scenario of music, it’s time to change the way you deliver voice to any song.. It's always a challenge to go in the studio, hear the song for the
first time & catch the soul of the song & deliver as close as possible
to what composer has in mind!
- Talk about your first venture into production?
It's a fascinating
journey of film making that I am currently involved in. I am loving small
intricacies of film making, interacting with more artists, handling their egos,
eccentricities, balancing the investment of time energy and money! Ultimately
all comes down to how you creativity spend your finance, time and energy, to
optimise the effort so many people! From Creating a product to making it
available to people in a grand way is a big responsibility as the Marathi
audience has become demanding and it is my responsibility to give them the
best, and my efforts are positive.
- Tell us something about your upcoming film "PhotoCopy"?
It's a romantic
candid comedy. A story of twin sisters
brought up together falling in love with the same boy. The movie is full of emotions, entertainment,
drama & great songs! Directed by Vijay Maurya! I have some great artists
& team on board for this project.
