Kavita K. Barjatya (b. 1977) is an Indian television and film producer who works with Rajshri Productions, a film company owned by her parental family.
Kavita Barjatya was born on 12 November 1977 in Mumbai into a traditional Marwadi family who are followers of Jainism. She is the daughter of Kamal Kumar Barjatya, the present managing director of Rajshri Productions, and the granddaughter of legendary film producer Tarachand Barjatya, who founded Rajshri Productions in 1947.
Kavita went to school in Mumbai. She graduated with a distinction from Sydenham College and then earned a postgraduate degree in management from NMIMS University. She is a trained vocal singer and Kathak dancer and has delivered several live stage performances; she plays various musical instruments too.
Kavita had a brief marriage that lasted for about 100 days. This was the turning point in her life and since then she has been focused on building her career.
Her career in the Entertainment industry in India commenced with Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, where she assisted her cousin, Sooraj R. Barjatya.
In 2004, at the behest of Sooraj Barjatya, and with his guidance, she revived the television business which Rajshri had exited in 1984. Rajshri's TV division was launched that year, and Kavita, with other members of the family, successfully managed it for over eight years, producing shows like Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki, Yahaaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli, Do Hanson Ka Jodaa and more.
In 2013, Kavita Barjatya announced her foray in to film making; her debut as producer will be marked with Samrat & Co. that is slated to release on 1 May 2014.
