A Powerful Endorsement at the Success Press Meet
At the success press meet of Rajni 2.0 in Mumbai, veteran actor Anupam Kher described the reboot as “the return of value-driven storytelling,” praising filmmaker Karan Razdan for reviving a legacy that once shaped India’s moral and social consciousness through television. His words set the tone for an evening that celebrated purpose-led content over fleeting trends.
Why Rajni 2.0 Matters Today

Calling Rajni 2.0 a timely revival, Kher noted that at a time when content often chases popularity, the series brings back truth, courage, and conscience. He highlighted the boldness required to reintroduce a fearless female voice to mainstream television, stating that such conviction is rare and deeply necessary in today’s media landscape.
The Strength of Public Broadcasting
Kher also emphasised the importance of the show’s association with DD National and Waves OTT. He underlined that public broadcasting carries a certain purity and reach, ensuring that Rajni 2.0 remains accessible to families across generations, just as the original series once did. According to him, this widespread accessibility is the real triumph of the reboot.
Karan Razdan on the Spirit of Rajni

Creator, writer, and director Karan Razdan spoke passionately about the soul of the series. He explained that Rajni has never been just a character but an idea — a reflection of every individual who refuses to accept injustice. With Rajni 2.0, Razdan aimed to hold up a mirror to contemporary society, reminding audiences that while challenges evolve, courage must remain constant.
A Crusader for a Changing India
Reflecting on the show’s modern relevance, Razdan pointed out that today’s India faces new forms of exploitation, from digital fraud to institutional neglect. Rajni’s daughter, he said, steps into these realities with the same fearlessness, proving that the spirit of Rajni does not fade but adapts with time.
Doordarshan’s Legacy of Responsible Content
Prasar Bharati CEO Gaurav Dwivedi, IAS, praised Rajni 2.0 for staying true to Doordarshan’s long-standing commitment to responsible and empowering storytelling. He described the series as a reaffirmation of DD National’s role in producing content that informs, uplifts, and strengthens social awareness.
A Legacy That Continues to Speak
With Waves OTT streaming the episodes free of cost, Rajni 2.0 now reaches audiences across geographies and age groups. The evening marked more than a celebration of success — it stood as a tribute to creative conviction, ethical storytelling, and the enduring power of a crusader whose voice continues to shape conversations. Rajni 2.0 airs on DD National and streams on Waves OTT, carrying forward a legacy where truth remains the loudest hero.
