Rajeev Khandelwal on lockdown: Government solutions will only bear results if we support them

When asked how he is staying positive during such a difficult time, Rajeev shared, “I’m not getting worried because I’m staying away from watching news, I don’t check WhatsApp groups. I barely go on social media. I do a lot of yoga, desi workout, swimming and gardening here. I feel blessed that I have a roof over my head and food in the house. Think about those who do not have this. Right now we need to help each other in whatever capacity. Let the goodness come out. Whatever you’ll do right now will go down in history.”

Rajeev Khandelwal can currently be seen in Voot Original web series Marzi, co-starring Aahana Kumra. During the chat, he thanked fans for appreciating the thriller show. Quipping that the audience should now look beyond his fan-favourite character of Sujal Garewal (Kahiin To Hoga), he picked the role that is personally close to his heart.

“Each role is special. It is very difficult to pick one. There is this character called Rajveer Singh Shekhawat from Left Right Left who remains close to my heart. And Rajveer-Nania’s pairing was fantastic. It was a great show and we all had a very good time doing it. And considering it is still there in your mind means we must have done something good in it,” he said.

When someone asked him how he handles his celebrity status, Rajeev Khandelwal said, “I am still a normal man. I do everything that a common man will do or what I used to do before becoming an actor. Only when you step out in public, you cannot stay common. Otherwise, I don’t expect anyone to give me a star treatment. Even when I go to the airport, I stand in queues. I love travelling. I’m very different in real life. The place where I am right now is more like a recreational center. My holidays are as important as my work. I completely switch off when I’m not shooting.”
