Rajadhyaksha was special: Aishwarya

Actress Aishwarya Rai remembers fashion photographer Gautam Rajadhyaksha, who died Tuesday, as a loving and special person.
 
Saddened by this news...he was such a loving, special person. Deep condolences to his family and may his soul rest in peace and he will be missed!' Aishwarya said in a statement.


 In one of his earlier interviews Rajadhyaksha, had said that from Nutan, Hema Malini, Lata Mangeshkar to Madhuri Dixit, Lisa Ray and Aishwarya, all were his favourite muses.


Rajadhyaksha was popular amongst all film personalities and worked on portraits of almost all the leading stars of Indian film industry. 

 
Rajadhyaksha's glamorous photo-shoots helped propel many actors, including Madhuri Dixit, to stardom. He also mentored many budding photographers.

His first encounter with fashion photography was in 1980, when he happened to shoot pictures of actress Shabana Azmi (a college mate), Tina Munim and Jackie Shroff and after that there was no looking back. The picture shows Gautam Rajadhyaksha with Kajol and Jaya Bachchan
