Check out what all they had to say:
Rajeev, tell us about your character Dr Naushad Rizvi...
Dr.Naushad Rizvi runs a child-care hospital. And his
family has been in the medical line since many years. But he is a complicated
man. He has gone throw a rough phase in his life. which is why he is what he
is--- until he meets the lovely Meher... and then our love story blossoms.
And Surveen, what's this Meher all about?
(Laughs) I play Mehrunisa Mirza and people call me
Meher. She has a dream, she has ambitions. Obviously there are obstacles
in her way. I have 3 sisters in the show and it's interesting to see how our
life unfolds, as the backdrop happens to be Kashmir.

Digital has freedom of creativity but it is largely
focusing on intimacy. Is that the case with your show?
Rajeev: That is the mindset that people have about
the digital world--- and trust me, this is going to shatter it. This is the
series which will tell us that digital world that web shows are about voicing
your opinion.
Surveen: There is some sort of authenticity in the
show. Platforms can be used for some wrong reasons like you said--- but I don't
feel there is any association between creativity and intimacy.
Rajeev: But what's wrong it if and when it is
required? You should be able to make it out at places where it is needed.
Intimacy is an integral part of everyone's life, so let's not call it wrong;
it's not abusing or harming anyone. There are people who think we can't deal
with intimate scenes, and let me tell you, that mindset too is not correct.
Surveen: I think Rajeev is right. I don't feel
that people come on digital platforms to make a show just to stay away from
censorship.
Rajeev Khandelwal And Surveen Chawla In Haq Se
Rajeev, you are working with Ekta after a very long time. You'll had parted
ways not on an amicable note...
Well, I was doing Ekta's Kahiin To Hoga (KTH) which I
quit in middle. Obviously when a popular character leaves midway, the show does
go through a rough patch. And it happened with KTH too (pauses).
Go on...
Ekta and I never went to the press to talk about it, but met on a number
of occasions where we tried to be cordial with each other.
She has been warm and cordial to me, I have been respectful and cordial to
her.
Sometime ago, we even discussed some other projects--- but things didn't work
out.
This time, I decided to say an immediate 'yes'. Balaji is unarguably the best n
the business.
I wouldn't say that we had a fallout.
Surveen Chawla
Both of you have been a part of Kahiin To Hoga, So it's a
reunion of sorts...
Rajeev: We have not been in much tough. So yeah, you
can call it a reunion. Surveen was also busy with some beautiful
projects.
Surveen: (Looks at Rajeev) I remember I messaged you
after watching Amir. I would also like to say that it's unfair if we use the
word 'fallout'. Ekta being Ekta is very true to her job. I don't feel she will
get someone on board just because he did one of her biggest and finest
shows.
Buzz was, Aamna Shariff was supposed to do Haqq
Se...
Rajeev: I got to know that from your site.
Surveen: Me too. But for me it doesn't matter if she
was considered before me. For me journey begins when I come on board.
Surveen, you shocked fans with your wedding news, how
difficult it was to keep a secret for 3 years- and that's quite a long time?
Surveen: It wasn't difficult at all. I didn't
disclose it because it was my personal choice. I wasn't comfortable talking
about it then. When I was, which was about a few weeks back--- I proudly
announced that I am married.
Rajeev Khandelwal And Surveen Chawla On Sets Of Haq Se
Would you like to thank your TV friends who helped you to
keep it a secret?
(Smiles) There were only handful of people who knew. It
just shows that they are family to me and they understand me. Yes, I must thank
them through SpotboyE.com.
Rajeev, TV is welcoming you again with work, What's
holding you back?
Nothing is stopping me. Whenever I have got a good
opportunity, I have embraced it. I did Sach Ka Samna, wasn't it good? I did
Reporters. You can't expect me to come on TV every year for just the heck
of it. The moment I will get a script which excites me, I will definitely
do it.
Rajeev Khandelwal
We also heard that you demand a lot of money when it
comes to TV...
I don't wish to respond on that (smiles).
