Ekta Hasn't Offered Me A Role In Her Films Yet
Rajeev Khandelwal, err, Sujal whose last two films- Table No 21 and Samrat & Co- have bombed, is back in the drawing rooms. His new show Reporters airs today
Excerpts from an interview:
Where has Rajeev Khandelwal been?
Pretty much around, but I don’t have a PR machinery that keeps me in the headlines even when I am doing nothing. I could have signed a few other films in the past few months-- but I wasn't convinced about them.
So, how do you manage your lifestyle?
I have a house and my share of luxuries. I don't want bodyguards, entourage and fancy cars. I eat vegetarian food which I grow outside my house. I don't party. That's my lifestyle. Is it lavish?
Your TV show Reporters starts today. Your kiss with Kritika Kamra in the promos has become the talk of the town. How has your wife taken to this?
My wife is a very secure person with an evolved mind. I had told her about the kiss much before it was shot.
Rewind. Why did you turn down Sach Ka Samna Season 3?
I was getting complacent and repetitive. It didn't make sense to continue.
You quit Ekta Kapoors Kahiin Toh Hoga (KTH) when it was at its peak. Do you think you lost out on a good working relationship with a top producer?
That is how you see it, not me. I am happier doing few but edgy projects. My debut in Bollywood (Aamir) should have said that- but maybe it didn't. I don't go by the rule book. I don't allow negativity to hit me. Show me another actor who has the variety I have on my plate.
How is your equation with Ekta today?
She is good to me. I am sure she is proud of me. I walked out of KTH-- but I dont think she holds anything against me. She has told me that she is happy with my progress. But yeah, she hasn't yet offered me a role in any of her films though.
