In 2004, Rajeev Khandelwal’s popularity as the Darcy-esque Sujal from TV show Kahiin To Hoga was at its peak and the actor recalls 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.
The actor, who became a heartthrob after the premiere of the Ekta Kapoor-backed soap opera, based on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, said even today he remembers the event where he met the who’s who of the industry.
Khandelwal said the night started with actor Neetu Kapoor coming up to him and pulling his cheeks. “I remember it very clearly because it was massive for me. It was unreal. This was around 2004. I was taken to attend a party… First, Neetu ji came up to me, she pulled my cheeks and said ‘Rajeev, I really love you. You are lovely.’
