Some actors come and go but there are a very few who leave a lasting impression with their first show as lead actor. In 2002 this actor got a big opportunity to work in Ekta Kapoors romantic drama. He won hearts as the lead actor where he played the role of Sujal Garewal. The shows name was Kahiin Toh Hoga and the actor in question is Rajeev Khandelwal. Rajeev has been making headlines recently after his interview went viral. He always wanted to become an actor. But coming from a Marwari family where his father served in the Indian Army as Lt. Col. C.L. Khandelwal his parents were against the idea of him making a career in acting. The actor who earned a Bachelors degree in Chemistry from St. Xaviers College Ahmedabad said in an interview with Zoom I was thrown out of my house. I come from an army background. My parents said they didn’t understand what this industry is all about. They knew that I had it in me to live my life decently but they wondered ‘acting ka bhoot kaha se aagaya’. They knew that I spoke about acting since my childhood but they never thought that I would want to make it my career. In an old interview he recalled a series of unreal moments at a film party when he was introduced to two of the biggest superstars of Indian cinema - Rajesh Khanna and Dilip Kumar. After the release of his big-screen Rajeev Khandelwal said Dev Anand invited him to his house to offer the actor a film. When I went there I touched his feet because I had idolised him since childhood. I had taken my camera and he was the only actor with whom I wanted to click a picture. When I touched his feet he asked: What are you doing? I said You inspire me to which he said: Then I should be touching your feet because actors like you inspire me too. I was blown away he said.
