Rajeev: Shaitan was my pleasure
The start of his career on television with Kahin Toh Hoga ☺️.. had set women's hearts racing,😛😛 young and elder alike. 😆😆😆 He was a sensation on television, 😳😳 but his debut on the big screen with Aamir catapulted him to a big hearthrob😛😛 . His performance was critically acclaimed, and then he was snowed in with offers.😳😳 Yet he is selective about the roles. 😎 We are talking about none other than handsome hunk Rajeev Khandelwal. 😳😳 Rajeev's latest film, Shaitan, has rocketed to the roof and has won over several critics.😳😳 Since the day he got married to Manjiri in February, he has kept everything under wraps.😆😆 We caught up with the actor in a candid chat about Shaitan, upcoming films and marriage. We let the actor speak for himself.😍 (we are all ears 😆😆) Shaitan
It was my pleasure to be a part of such a fantastic film.😊 Director Bejoy Nambiar has scripted and shot the film so well, especially my character '😍 someone who doesn't take any nonsense from anyone.🤣 The audiences loved the movie😛😛 . It has a lot to do with the youth; not necessarily every youth will relate to it, but some youth will😛😛 Shaitan speaks of how some incidents in our personal life can makes us different as a human being.😃😃
Films
After Aamir, I received several offers,😛😛 but I don't want to take the fast track. I want do quality movies😎. The audiences today have grown, and they want to see good films.😃😃 Today, Bollywood films are also changing, and I want to work with creative and original directors😛😛 A director is the heart of a film, as he shapes the film. It is important under whom you are working. Every character of the film has to be well shaped and moulded. So, I take my time to decide on my scripts.😳😳
2011
This year, you will see me in several films.🤪 After Shaitan, it is Neerav Ghosh's Soundtrack 😳😳 which will release by August, most probably, then I will start shooting for Tanuja Chandra's Raakh.😛😛 There is another film Peter Gaya Kaam Se, which is stuck, where I play a lover boy. 😆😆😆 The film is set in Goa, and my character is a taxi bike rider.😛😛 These are people who drive tourists on their bikes in and around Goa. It's quite a common sight to see such taxi bike riders in Goa, and I play one of them.😳😳😳
Marriage
I didn't want my marriage to be hyped, as my wife Manjiri doesn't like it.😛😛 She loves to stay indoors and enjoy her freedom; 😆😆 she doesn't want to be in front of the camera.😛😛 She loves to be in her own world. So, it was my decision to keep my personal and professional life separate . I decided to get married in Jodhpur, at the Khimsar fort, and kept it a personal affair. There have been requests for pictures from everywhere.😆😆
Life After Marriage
(Laughs) I have not changed a bit, I am the same Rajeev Khandelwal, 😆😆the one I was before marriage😍 (turned more cutie )😆😳. Only rules at home have changed.😆😆😆 Also, the curtains, wall colour, dining table (smiles) have changed,😆😆 and apart from that, everything is the same. Manjiri enjoys her life, and she does not interfere in my work. She has faith in me, and I have faith in her. She watches my films😳😳 and enjoys them.😛😛
