JD Majethia is known for his work in Gujarati and Hindi plays, dramas, and Indian television. He has also been the name behind some of the biggest shows, such as Khichdi and Sarabhai vs


Sarabhai. He owns a production house, Hats Off Productions and has battled with the financial crisis and bankruptcy when a man in his production house miscalculated accounts, which led to a


big failure.


In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Majethia was questioned about the problems that he faced during his professional journey that happened in 2013. To which he stated, “My biggest failure


in terms of shows will have a lot of individual examples. But there was a big failure in the company once in 2013. Five shows of ours were running and there was a person in our accounts,


who misled us. Maybe I was not that mature then to understand it properly. I would work hard and pay everyone on time but that man did some ‘gadbadi‘ in our calculations and we just


nosedived. We couldn’t understand anything."


He further added how it has been one of the biggest chapters of his lifetime and said, “From there, we picked ourselves again bit by bit. That’s my biggest chapter. All our money had gone,


we were in losses and we also owed money to people. But we repaid everyone, and from there are back on our feet here today. We have earned a lot than what we had lost, but our name was never


tarnished. Our goodwill remained intact and the phase didn’t last for more than six months."


He also shared the things he faced during the launch of his show Mai Sagar, which has a budget of Rs 75,000. Narrating the story, he said, “The money would just go, but we restarted from


there. It had a lot of writers, so I would co-ordinate a lot, which is now helping me in making Wagle Ki Duniya. God gave me that situation to learn something from.”
