( excitedly) I really didn't know why our pair clicked so well! Looking back, I feel that Amna's beauty and my 'rawness', combined with the novelty of the show, contributed to the success of our pair in Kahin To Hoga. There is still a lot of discussion on your on-screen and off-screen chemistry with Amna Sharif� Now, they will see the real Rajeev Khandelwal. ( smiles) It's surprising� It's been more than a year since I left Kahin To Hoga, but everyone still refers to me as Sujal. So, you want to be more known as Rajeev Khandelwal? Not Sujal? It's a fresh start for me and the show, so let's hope for the best. DYND is still among Sony's top four shows. Madhavan and Mandira have done the spadework. If this show is to be successful, it will. People would see me as I am! I believe in destiny. But when I read the format and thought it over, I was excited. To be frank, I rejected the offer when it first came to me. I am trying my best to communicate with everyone on the set to make the show a big success. I learn only from class work! From everyone on the sets � the studio audience, models and even participants. In fact, this is the first time I did not do much homework for the show. It has returned to the US format and the role of the host has changed completely. Do you think you will be successful?īecause 'the host of a game show' is a challenging role! The show has changed a lot since when it was hosted by Madhavan and Mandira. I want DYND to be a big deal for viewers of the show across the country.īut why a game show? This is the first time you are doing something like this. Right from the day I began my career, I have believed that no 'deal' is small when it comes to acting - whether it is Kahin To Hoga, Time Bomb, Deal Ya No Deal or the recent music video I have acted in. Is Deal Ya No Deal a big deal for Rajeev Khandelwal? Tired after a day's shoot, Rajeev spoke to us while taking a break in his air-conditioned make-up van. We caught up with the teenage heartthrob on the new set (designed by Sameer Chandra). Starting April 28, Khandelwal will be seen hosting the popular game show Deal Ya No Deal on Sony.Įarlier hosted by Madhavan and Mandira Bedi, Deal Ya No Deal is changing and going back to the original American format it is based on. Those missing Rajeev Khandelwal � the original Sujal of Kahin To Hoga � won't have to wait any longer.
