Personal life

Vashu Bhagnani was born on 19 April 1961 in Kolkata, India. He is of Sindhi descent.^{[citation needed]} He is the son of Lilaram Bhagnani and is married to Pooja Bhagnani, after whom he named his production company, Pooja Entertainment India Limited, founded in 1995.

Bhagnani's personal life has been marked by both struggles and successes. He had to quit school in the sixth standard due to financial difficulties and began selling clothes in various cities to earn a living.^{[citation needed]} In 1989, he moved to Mumbai to start his own business, initially working in manufacturing TV parts and clothing before venturing into film production.^{[citation needed]}

The Bhagnani family is deeply involved in the film industry; His son, Jackky Bhagnani, is an actor, film producer, and entrepreneur who has acted in several films produced by his father. His daughter, Deepshikha Deshmukh, is also involved in the family's production business.

Vashu Bhagnani's career in film production has seen both highs and lows. After a string of successful "No. 1" movies in the late 1990s and early 2000s, he faced financial setbacks with the failure of Anupum Kher's directorial debut "Om Jai Jagadish" in 2002, which led him to temporarily shift to real estate before making a comeback in film production.^{[citation needed]}
