Rajit Dev, a talented choreographer, has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. Known for his unique style and approach, his works include the hit song Bijlee Bijlee and his recent collaboration with Nora Fatehi for the FIFA World Cup anthem. Reflecting on his journey, Rajit is content with his achievements so far but aims to do more notable work.
“I feel proud of myself for every small thing I’ve achieved. When I see my journey from being a dancer to a choreographer, I feel I have come a long way,” says Rajit, who has worked with Bollywood stars such as Ranveer Singh, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Salman Khan.
The highlight of Rajit’s career was choreographing a FIFA anthem song. “It’s historic and a worldwide event. I feel blessed I could do that,” he says.
Rajit’s goal is to deliver the best for every song he choreographs. “I’ve so much respect for my seniors that I’ve looked up to all these years, so keeping up with them and adding my flavour and touch to the songs is always my focus,” he adds.

Speaking about his experience working with Bollywood celebrities, Rajit says, “They are very professional, and I loved every moment because I was lucky enough to be working with the biggest icons of Bollywood. Talking about Ranveer, I worked with him from his first film, so we have a different bond. It’s more brother-like and we have mutual respect for each other.”
Rajit also praises Nora Fatehi, saying, “As an ambitious foreigner, who loves Bollywood, she worked really hard to achieve what she’s got now. I’m one of her very few friends in Mumbai. She has no drama, tantrums as to when work is concerned. In fact, she takes suggestions from me and is very professional.”
Regarding the current trends in choreography, Rajit explains, “Our job is to create a song for three minutes, and then some part from that song becomes viral. These trends make the song and a hook step popular.”
Asked about the possibility of being a judge on a dance reality show, Rajit says, “Given a chance, I would love to judge. People need to see new choreographers who are doing good work. Our song and hook-step is popular, but people don’t know who the choreographer is.”
The one project that is closest to Rajit’s heart is Bijlee Bijlee. “I’ve still seen people dance to it in weddings, in clubs. It’s a good sight when everyone dances together as if it’s their vibe,” he says.
