Radhakishan Raswe was Vandana’s driver in Mumbai, chauffeuring her and cameraman Hemant Chaturvedi around for shoots in a white Maruti Gypsy. In the early days, Vandana and Hemant were the entire ‘crew’; the camera assistants, light men and sound attendants would come much later. One day, Vandana recalls, Hemant snapped and let Raswe have it. ‘Firing him in terrible abusive language, he used all the MCs, BCs and said, “You will always remain a driver because you’ve shown no initiative to say ‘Can I help you?’” You are seeing us carrying stuff, but not even once have you said, ‘Can I become a part of this?’”’ That shook up the driver; today, Raswe is the head cameraman at TV18’s Mumbai office.
