Any Rajeev Khandelwal Fans Here DTN pg70 - Page 53

Atharva was GOALS! The lead actor was phenomenal in his portrayal of Atharv. I lost interest when the female lead’s father had the hero almost bashed to death and had her marry that Balika Vadu guy (🤢)

Mainly the biggest turn off was that forum since fans of the Balika Vadu guy started supporting the pair and left no stone unturned with bashing Atharv. They just didn’t understand that the audience grew to love and ship the main leads, so any unnecessary love triangle was not welcome - especially since Atharv’s character was already pretty much close to perfect.

That sequence after Atharv got beaten up, Vividha dialogues was so powerful especially this line in that scene...

"Lekin agar Atharva nahi bacha to waisi hi tabaahi hogi. Fark sirf itna hoga ki tab pralay Shiv ji le kar aaye the aur aaj taandav main karungi"

I saw Prem/Mukti being mentioned here and I felt my old blistering wounds get re-infected again. Just copying and pasting my reply from another post since it is a perfect breakdown of how much Ekta Kapoor has traumatised me in the past.

*Warms up with LONG rant preparation*

Words cannot convey the intensity of my rage when the director sucks the depths of my soul right out of my body and have me form an attachment with a 'couple' - ONLY to have them

• Break up
• Kill the hero or heroine
• Hero gets married to someone else
• Heroine gets married to someone else
• Hero/heroine comes back to life with a new face
• Hero/heroine comes back to life with THE SAME face but is a complete different character
• Hero/heroine dies together and comes back to life in a new janam

I used to watch KZK (First Season) and absolutely loved the couple Prem and Mukti. He was a typical rude, bad-ass hero (just my type) and she was a goody-two shoe nerd. They were more like the side-line story and not the predominant focus, so I would watch 20 minutes of the show everyday to savour a glimpse of them. Typical story: Girl loves boy. Boy sleeps with girl and rejects her love. Girl pines for boy and cries for years. They had a specific couple song that would play for them, which was the 'kabhi naa sukoon aya, kabhi naa karaar aya, jab se .. etc pyar aya' (I place emphasis on the pyar aya bit because it is an important element of the show - especially when I was an adolescent. It was the focus of my existence at that point).

Now since it was a one-sided love, the female version of the song would always be played. We got glimpses of the guy secretly caring for her but not 'realising his feelings' - so us fans would get a measly male version of the 'kabhi naa sukoon aya'. BUT the manipulative directors would purposefully stop the 'pyar aya' male version bit to SYMBOLISE that the hero has not yet realised that after all THE ENDLESS FLYING RED DUPATAS that came his way, he has not yet realised that he has FOOKING PYAR AYA.

After YEARS of waiting for the goddamn guy to realise his feelings - the director does a 5-year leap and AT LAST the lord has decided to shower his blessings upon my little adolescent hormones. The dimwitted hero finally realises his love and goes bat-shit crazy trying to get her back (regretting all the years of rejecting her). Oh my god the satisfaction was so intense. I had tears of joy when I finally heard the male version of the song playing the 'pyar ayaaa' bit.

>> (Fast forward) a few episodes of the heroine rejecting his love (which after a while, I got sick of because bloody hell just become a freaking couple already mate - I'm sick of this shit). Hero and heroine reunite, they hug and cry in each others arms - the sadistic directors inserts a 'fantasy clip' of what they would be like as a couple in the future, her being pregnant and him being an excited dad. Meanwhile I'm jumping up and down the couch SCREECHING' in happiness ONLY for them to break out of their hug, have a truck run her over and bam she dies in his arms IN THE VERY SAME EPISODE.

............

But do you know what burns me the most? The actress didn't quit the show nor was she fired or cut off. No no no - Indian television shows does not believe in that kind of nonsense. Instead, as I was laying on the floor dying a slow laboured death from toxic shock, they bring her back to the show as a different character ....

Enough has been said.

*Breaks red bangles against bed post and sobs hysterically*

Mukti was a way better character than Devika, She was entertaining to watch, Devika had nothing to offer. I liked Prem and Mukti more than Anurag and Prerna but Ekta later on ruined them. Prem's behavior most of the time puts me off. KSG played Sneha (Jennifer) husband and Prerna Son in law his character name was Sharad. He was a rapist, he rapes Mukti, I hate Prem so much then for supporting Sharad for property share even though he knew the truth but later he redeemed himself after he realized his love for Mukti he himself give a statement against Sharad in court.

Who said that he has signed something with Goldie bahl? Any idea

Coz he had a bound script in hand and knew it would end in 10-15 episodes. His problem was always the lack of logic in the script, he never had any personal issues. Ekta made it personal.

Also these webshows were produced by other people not Balaji. Just the platform was Alt Balaji. Rajeev has refused to do season 2 of Haq Se, citing date issues.

He is doing another show with Goldie Behl after Reporters. It is a webshow for Zee5: on Naxalites. Directed by Kunal Kohli.

That's the thing, his producers always come back to him coz he is so easy to work with.

Miniority group 😆 bt I will still say I find it weird when people call her a good actress.She is quite terrible as Komolika..giving good competition to Erica in acting department.Though she is pretty no doubt.

Arey m rewatching KTH, the revenge drama.

She is acting like Komolika only😆 I had a problem with her coz in the later episodes she applied so much makeup. It looked like she had fallen into a powder box. She looked so cute in the initial episodes, I dunno what came over her. Khud make up karna shuru kar diya I think😆

As for Komolika, no one beats Urvashi. That woman can act.

I thoroughly dislike Hina Khan so I don't care abt KZK.

Goldie Bahl and Kunal Kohli said so. I believe them😆

He's playing a cop and Zee5 introduced the show during an event with the entire crew on stage. As official as it can get:

Rajeev NEVER announces his projects.

He was so disheartened after the Bhansali episode (and a lot of good scripts he had signed never took off) that he had a blog where he used to address fans back in the day. He said he will never talk about upcoming projects now, until he knows the release date. People will have to wait for the production house to make the announcement.

There was one script in particular, something on horse racing. He was to play a jockey or something, it was titled Race Course if m not wrong. With Pritish Nandy. That too was canned.

Then he signed a project with Tanuja Chandra, that didn't take off. He had interesting projects but not good production houses to fund them.
