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.”
