‘The name Rudra is lucky for me’
We all know actor-producer Rudra Kaushish, who has essayed multiple characters on television and silver screen. But not many know that Rudra Kaushish is his screen name. The real name is Gajendra Oza.
Before coming to Mumbai in 2009, Gajendra worked with the Central Reserve Police Force for 12 long years. Speaking on the subject, he said, “When I came to Mumbai, I did not know anyone. I started with small roles, which lasted for a few minutes in a feature film and a few days for a television soap.”
He adds, “During this journey, I met a friend who suggested that a name change can work wonders. Since it was the holy month of Shravan and Lord Shiva being my favourite God, I decided to call myself Rudra Kaushish.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now
in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is
run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any
bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and
partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense
of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
