Rajeev to play ‘Aamir’

“As Captain Rajveer, who has been diligently training a batch of young cadets in ‘Left Right Left’ (‘LRL’, SAB) I sense identification with Shah Rukh Khan’s character in ‘Chak De India’.

Being a sporty and an adventurous person I would love to act in a movie like ‘Chak De’! Hats off to SRK for proving that you don’t always need a galaxy of top stars to make a runaway hit,” insists Rajeev Khandelwal who will now be quitting the show ‘LRL’.

Rajeev is gearing himself for his film debut in director Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Aamir’. But wouldn’t Rajeev’s absence adversely affect the show? “Maybe in the initial episodes his fans would miss him. But gradually audiences will get engrossed in the twists. After all it’s a character-driven and not a saas bahu one,” explains co-producer Deeya Singh.

Temptation is the last word in this talented actor’s dictionary. Read on to discover more about him, his affairs and his so called rift with Ekta Kapoor…

Do you feel Sujal is the replica of your personality in any way?
Sujal was the character that brought me to the forefront. I don’t think that I performed amazingly well but, Sujal suited me very well. Sujal is the character which is present in everyone. Rajeev has a part which is like Sujal. Both of us are very passionate and stubborn. We have a lot of similarities except, I would not chase a woman if she is happily married. I would accept that as my destiny and will let her go.

One decision you are proud of making would be…
I am proud of all the decisions that I have made. The biggest one being the decision of quitting ‘Kahiin To Hoga’. I am glad and happy that I made the decision of quitting ‘Kahiin To Hoga’ at the peak of my fame. The character was at the peak however; I realized that if I needed to maintain the fame I had to leave. I would repeat every thing I did including the failures in the last four years.
