There's buzz that actors Rajeev Khandelwal and Aamna Shariff were approached for Star One's reality show Nach Baliye 2, but they refused. However, Rajeev clarifies that he was not approached by anybody and even if he was, he wouldn't do it. "That's because I'm not comfortable participating in a reality show. I'm not against reality shows, just that I can't compete for money. It's a block that I have. I do not want to bow down before three judges who will decide my fate. With due respect to judges and participants of all reality shows, I'd like to emphasise that I'm only talking for myself. What others feel is their prerogative. Each to his own," he says.
So is it fear of losing that's prompting this stand? "Not at all. While I was in college, I participated in a number of competitions. Now, I'm not comfortable with the thought of celebrities competing."
But, he recently anchored the game show Deal Ya No Deal? "Yes, I'm fine anchoring these shows," says Rajeev, who's still known as the original Sujal of Kahiin To Hoga, a show he quit last year. He is currently seen in Left Right Left.
