Biography
Bajaj was born in Mumbai, the youngest child of R.K. and Abha Bajaj. She began playing tennis at the age of six,[2] but was forced out of the sport by an ankle injury. While waiting on university admission results to a Media Studies program in Australia, she took an internship with an online business daily, where she produced video stories for the site.[1] She turned to film-making, and produced a documentary along with fellow injured sportsman Sandeep Mukherjee. The film, titled Play and Stay, was a tie-in with the International Tennis Federation's campaign of the same name.[2] Her video work paved the way to a part-time anchor spot at a Mumbai television news program,[1] and ultimately to her role as the host of the Davis Cup.
Bajaj has also appeared as a sportscaster at the 2010 Australian Open tennis tournament, followed by a broadcast of the Australian Football League (AFL), and she has written for Advantage Tennis.
