She blazed the television screen in Margarita & bagged the Screen Award for Best Actress. She won the screen award again for the best actress and also the MATA (Maharashtra times award) for her performance in the film "Aarambh". Rajeshwari's big break came in the form of the Hollywood epic "Little Buddha" opposite Keanu Reeves and directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Being a performing artist it was only but natural that this ball of talent went on to explore new fields.
