Aarti Bajaj (Film Editor) Biography

Award-winning Indian film editor known for Rockstar, Paan Singh Tomar, Highway and Sacred Games.

Early life and background
Aarti Bajaj was born in February 1973 in Delhi and later moved to Mumbai, where she completed a degree at the Xavier Institute of Communications. She originally planned a career in professional photography but discovered film editing after arriving in Mumbai and enrolled in a professional course to train in the craft.

Career
Bajaj began her editing career assisting established professionals including Shyam Ramanna and Bardroy Baretto. Her first credited feature as an editor was Anurag Kashyap’s Paanch (2003), a film that did not receive a domestic theatrical release due to censorship issues. From those early experiences she built a strong reputation in Hindi cinema and beyond.

Across the 2000s and 2010s Bajaj worked on a number of high-profile projects. She edited Jab We Met (2007) and Love Aaj Kal (2009), and contributed to acclaimed films such as Paan Singh Tomar (2012), Rockstar (2011) and Highway (2014). Her work extended into television and streaming as well: she was the editor for both seasons of the popular web series Sacred Games (2018). Bajaj’s credits also include the Pakistani feature Cake (2018), directed by Asim Abbasi, showing her range across regional industries.

Her collaborations with directors have been notable. She has edited multiple films for Imtiaz Ali and continued to work with Anurag Kashyap on several projects, including titles released after their personal separation. In recognition of her editing on contemporary streaming content, she received the Best Editing award at the Filmfare OTT Awards on 26 November 2023 for the web series Jubilee.

Public profile
Bajaj is known within the industry for a preference toward dramatic storytelling; she has cited editor Walter Murch as a favourite and identifies drama as a preferred genre. In addition to feature films and series, her early career included work on television commercials and music videos, reflecting a broad foundation in visual storytelling.

Personal life
Bajaj was married to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap in 2003 after a long relationship that began during their college years; the couple had a daughter, Aaliyah Kashyap, born before their marriage. Bajaj and Kashyap divorced in 2009. She is based in Mumbai and lists travelling, listening to music, and reading as personal interests.
