After resigning, his world was shaken. His uncle and friends felt it was a huge mistake to quit such a cushy job.
His uncle even turned Gajendra out of his home.
"The world suddenly turned upside down," Gajendra recalls. "I had no place to stay and very little savings. Luckily, one of my editor friends, Mangesh Chavan, helped me out. He let me stay in his balcony and I was more than happy."
Chavan, interestingly, was the film editor of Mithun Chakravarty's Disco Dancer.
Next, began Gajendra's struggle, as he went from studio to studio to get a job. Gradually, he managed to bagged serials like Aahwan and Bajirao Mastani on Doordarshan.
Both of them did well, and he tasted success for the first time in his career.
