| Rajeev Khandelwal talks about the rumours which stated that he and Ekta Kapoor had patched up recently, his holiday plans, how he isn't close to Priyanka Bassi and how close he is to Aamna Sharif. Q Rumour has it that you have patched up with Ekta and are quite keen on working with her? Is it true?
I am keen on working with Balaji? No way. They might be keen on working with me. I have no issues against Ekta and Shobha Kapoor. But I don't connect with their shows. After quitting Kahiin To Hoga there has not been a single Balaji show that made me think I missed doing it. None of their shows have really turned me on. My concern is about good content. Let them make one good show and I will be the first person to call Ekta and Shobha and tell them that I want to be a part of it. Q What's your definition of a good role?
It's a question that I have been asked a number of times and I think it's the most difficult one to answer. I have never had any particular role in mind and even today I can't think of any specific one. It all depends on the kind of roles being written. Many times you hear scripts but nothing excites you. You just don't feel like doing them. I would like to do roles that ignite a spark in me. Q Aren't you an odd man out asking for the stars when they are not on offer?
I have always said I want to maintain my exclusivity. I don't want to burn my energy on doing any and every role that doesn't interest me. I didn't do much after leaving Kahiin To Hoga except Time Bomb for four months. This shows how particular I am about my roles. Q How do you find your role in Left Right Left?
I am very happy with it. I have made a mark as Rajveer Singh Shekhawat. After Kahiin To Hoga this is my second major show and I am very happy that it's become a cult show, particularly amongst the youth. Q Did your family's army background help you to play the role?
I had an edge because of my family's association with the armed forces. It helped me get my costumes and body language right. Of course the army I know of and understand is quite different from what's being portrayed in the serial. Q Left Right Left is heading for a two-month break. What are you planning to do?
I am going to have a blast. The break is good for the show and everyone working in it. I will be going to Jaipur to meet my parents and will also travel a lot from Laddakh to Rishikesh. I love travelling and seeing new places. Besides that I will be hearing scripts too. Q It is said that you have developed a soft corner for Priyanka Bassi. Comment.
It is said that there can't be smoke without fire. But the fact is there is no fire and yet people are seeing the smoke. I don't even know Priyanka's cell number and don't know where she stays either. I meet her only on the sets. In fact, we don't even speak much on the sets. All I can say is that she is a nice girl. Q How's your friendship with Aamna Sharif going?
She is a dear friend and the frequency of our meetings has increased. She is there for me whenever I need her and vice versa. |
