Storyteller & Host
Richa Aniruddha
Zindagi With Richa team is a rare example of professionals who are working selflessly even in today’s competitive world. Everyone in the team, Show Directors, DOPs, Editors, Music Producers, Singers are working to create sensible and sensitive content without ever worrying about their professional fee etc.
Probably thats what makes the show so special!
Here is my take on all the team members with a THANKYOU to each one of them!
Creative Director
OP Dimri
What to say about OP! Since the time of "Zindagi Live" on IBN7, when OP was our floor manager to now, when he is the Creative Director of “Zindagi with Richa”, It's an absolute pleasure to have known him and worked with him. No matter how stressful a shoot is, OP ensures that everyone on the set is calm, relaxed and smiling. And I often wonder "How does OP manage to be happy all the time"? This probably only he can answer.
Director, Research & Content Head
Ritu Bhardwaj
Ritu is a perfect example of the Indian woman- the woman with substance. She is a multi-tasker, juggling between her roles as a wife, mother, daughter, daughter-in-law, friend, professional and what not! And it amazes me to see how she manages all of it with a smile and politeness. Ritu is compassionate, helpful with a beautiful heart! I wish she takes a little less burden on her delicate shoulders!
Producer & Research Lead
Farheen Fatima
From “Zindagi Live” to “Zindagi With Richa” ( 2007-2019), I have known Farheen for last twelve years. Farheen is one of the most dependable people, I have met in my life. She is the kind of person who anyone would love to have as their "Advisor" because she is honest, brutal and straight forward with her feedbacks. But her most brutal feedbacks are most polite too. Qatl bhi kar deti hai aur pata bhi nahi chalta! Haha
