Rajeev's Interview~ translated (SUMMARY)
He starts off with an apology coz he left KTH, but reasons that there was nothing left in it for Sujal to do. Then he said that his fans need not be disheartened coz he's doing TB and also appeared in Kareena Kareena…
Then the bomb shell…
(This is word to word)
meri jagah Sujal ka character karne wala Gurpreet Singh vaqai acha actor hai… is main khasa potential hai… iski dialogue delivery agarchah weak hai… shaed isleay ki voh Sujal ka puraana lehja ikhteyaar kiye huay hai… waisey mujhe lagta hai ki is lark eke ilawa koi perfect Sujal ban he nahii sakta tha. 😡 😡 🤢
His grandfather (paternal) had named him Rajeev coz he was inspired from Rajeev Gandhi (an Indian PM) and wanted that his grandson be as famous as R. Gandhi, to which Rajeev said: 'kisi had tak to main ne naam kama liya hai, lekin Rajeev ji jaise nahii' He further told that his mom is associated with different NGO's and his dad was in the army. Before working with NGO's she worked in a bank but his dad made her leave the job after he and his bro's were born, to which he said, 'aap isi se andaaza laga lein ki meri family kitni conservative hai, lekin main nahii… shaid iselyee main showbiz main hoon… main sochta hoon ki agar main larki hota to papa mujhe army main doctor appoint karwa dete, showbiz main kabhi na aane dete… magar main larki nahii larka hoon aur isi baat ka faaeda utha raha hoon'
Then he said 'mujhe creativity ka jonoon ki hadd tak shoq hai, kisi cheez par research karma aur uske positives ya negatives saamne lana mujhe acha lagta hai' Then he talked about his documentaries, about which we already know.
He said that when he was at college in Ahmedabad one of his classmates looked at his hand and told him that he'd be very famous one day… and friends used to make fun of him and ask for his autograph… he said he's still searching for success … (amazing!!! What more does he want???)
Rajeev's first crush:
His first crush was a girl he'd met at the college fashion show… he was in the management and she wanted tickets for her friend and herself… all the tickets were sold out and he arranged the tickets for her 'bari mushkil se' (as he put it)… she was really thankful to him and after that whenever she saw him, she would drop by to say hello. He admitted that she was not as beautiful as Madhuri Dixit or Aishwarya Rai… just that her simplicity attracted him… he never let her know that he liked her… then one day he heard that she was shifting to Delhi, he went to meet her for the last time and she gave him a time piece and a greeting card, which he still has kept safe.
After that he says: 'main uski yaad main Devdas nahii bana raha… khud ko jald hi uskay asar se nikaal diya'
Rajeev's second crush:
'mera second crush hamare paros main rahne wale dost ki aik saali thi… magar vahan bhi baat nahii ban sakii!'
THIRD TIME LUCKY!!! 😳 😳
He talked about his career… about which we know everything already.
Then his likes and dislikes: (BTW, he believes in stars/ horoscope)
His favorite color is black, but he also likes red, peach and white… but black is above all these for him… he loves home made food (Aamna loves eating out!!!) 'mummy ke haath ki daal makhni, aur apne haath ka veg pizza mujhe bohot pasand hai!' He likes 'Food World' restaurant in Mumbai 'kyunki wahan har tarha ki sabzi mil jaati hai!'
He said his lifestyle is very simple… his family lives in Jaipur and he lives in Mumbai. 'pehle to main kiray ke ghar main rehta tha magar ab main ne apna flat le liya hai… meri family aksar stay karne aati hai, waise main akela hi hota hoon, apne kapre bhi khud hi dhota hoon, haan lekin ghar ki safai ke liye aik servent rakha hua hai' He loves listening to Indian music and watching movies… he has watched AB's 'Shakti' 25 times (!!!!!) he seldom watches TV.
Then he talked about his Pakistani drama, he is very much impressed with the Pakistani actors, Humayun Saeed and Talat Hussain in particular, he likes the way Pakistani dramas are made… that they're kept short and not prolonged like the Indian serials… he believes that quality can be sustained that way…
Then he talked about Aamna… I've already posted that bit.
He then talks about the Time Bomb story.
On how people reacted when he quit KTH: He said 'wives' in Jaipur came to him and requested him to come back… a girl from a 'Hi 5' ID mailed him constantly and told him not to quit… (yahan se koi hai kya?????) His family was also upset when he quit coz she preferred being called 'Sujal's' amd not Rajeev's mummy!!! His family had gotten used to be called 'Sujal's' family… his relatives and parents felt very bad initially but not now… he says they'll get used to it… he talked about being touched by the love he gets from people (vohi SMS and e-mail wali baat that he wrote in his mail to us)
What's ahead???:
He's not signed anything… wants a holiday after TB, very impressed by SRK, his house 'Mannat' and his achievements in such a short time period… wants to be like him… 'merey liye dua Karen kii mujhe bhi aisi hi koi opportunity mil jaaey!'
Ye bhi koi kehne ki baat hai Raj??? Our prayers are... and will always be with you... am I right guys???
