For Eesha Koppikar, working in EK VIVAH AISA BHI was not just an enriching experience as an actor but also as a human being, Apparently, so impressed and touched she was during the making of the film that she soon saw her getting rid of all the negativity around her and charted a positive path for herself."It is clearly the Barjatyas effect", says Eesha who would certainly be looking at a new turn in her career with EK VIVAH AISA BHI that sees her in a saree clad avtar, "I owe it to people like Sooraj Barjatya and Raj babu. They are the epitome of simple living and high thinking. You keep hearing wonderful stories about them but I experienced it for myself when I worked in close interaction with them. They are such wonderful people."
Eesha admits that working in a Rajshri setup helped her change the way she was over the years.
"We had an extensive schedule in Bhopal early this year and I used to wake up at 5:30 in the morning. Then I listened to all the 'bhajans' and slowly I started finding myself loosing all the negativity around me. I got the inner strength to assess what worked for me and what I should avoid. It wasn't difficult eventually to keep distance from anything that used to affect me earlier", says Eesha who claims that she was a different self after returning from the film's shoot.
"People at Rajshri have an entirely different way of treating people", recollects Eesha, "For them, you are the same, whether you are an actor or any other member from the crew. Once I returned, I could feel within myself that I had a much increased respect for humanity EK VIVAH AISA BHI was truly a life changing experience. I am thankful to God for not just being a part of this film but also the wonderful learning experience I gained from the people I worked with."
"No wonder, Rajshri people come with such great goodwill that they have earned in last so many decades. No one has anything negative to say about them and everyone blesses them whether from within or outside the industry. Working in EK VIVAH AISA BHI is truly equivalent to working in 50-70 other movies", are Eesha famous parting words.
