English term or phrase: real life

This is a title to go in a text which relates to a radio show. This is all the info I have about the context. If there are any choices to be made, the Hindi term I need should be that used by relatively educated people, in a relatively formal context, not slang or street language.

Yatharth Jeevan/ Vastavik Jeevan/ Sthir Jeevan/ Aslee Jindagee/ Sachchi Jindagee

Explanation:
Yatharth Jeevan - Yatharth, sanskrit word for real (Standard)
Vastavik Jeevan - Vastavik, also sanskrit word for real (Standard)
Sthir Jeevan - Sthir (Standard Sanskrit word), also sanskrit word
for real, here it is Nischal & Shaanth that means Undisturbed and peaceful, as per the need of the depth of meaning to be cinveyed. Aslee Jindagee - Aslee is real used opposite to Naklee (Unreal)
Sachchee Jindagee - Sachchee again for substituting Aslee or Vasthavik.
I prefer Yatharth or Vaasthavik for real when usrd with Jeevan and Aslee or sachchee when used with Jindagee. Using Sanskrit words coupled with only sanskrit words is standard good style, or else it will be called sankar samas, broken unfair joining.

Vastavik Jeevan

Explanation:
"Vastavik Jeevan" as mentioned by Tejinder Soodan is the most correct translation. Jindagi (rather zindagi) is a urdu word.
