At Shabbir Ahluwalia’s birthday party last month, Ekta Kapoor
and Rajeev Khandelwal (who used to play Sujal Garewal in Kahin
Toh Hoga) met and patched up.
He
messaged her
Sources in Balaji insist that Rajeev has been messaging
Ekta often, saying he misses being part of the show.
“Things finally got sorted out at the birthday party on August
9. Initially, nothing happened, though Rajeev kept smiling at
Ekta. She didn’t look at him. A few days ago, she had got his
message about how he was missing Kahin Toh Hoga and the unit,”
says the source.
“Ekta was busy putting tequila shots down the invitees’
throats at the party. Natasha, Chaitanya, Aamna, Shabbir and
Rajeev were all sitting next to each other.
She gave them to everyone, but ignored Rajeev. He was piqued and
messaged her again, asking why she was ignoring him. She replied
and they got down to talking and sorting it out.”
Ekta moves on
Ekta doesn’t deny the episode. Has she got over
everything and decided to forgive and forget? “Of course I
have forgotten and moved on. It’s not an issue. I wish Rajeev
all the best,” she smiles. Right now she’s gearing up for
four new shows on Zee and Sony, for which, “in the next six
months, we will be auditioning for 10 new faces from Pune,
Kolkata and Kashmir.”
Rajeev
wants good work
Rajeev (who is now acting in Zee’s Time Bomb), on the
other hand, preferred to be noncommittal about the episode.
“There was never a problem to begin with. I have never had any
problems with Ekta. I don’t hold a grudge against anyone for
anything. I just want to do good work, that’s it. Be it Balaji
or any other producer, if they offer me good work, I will do
it.”
Will Gurpreet go?
Balaji Telefilms is now teeming with rumours that, because of
the patch-up between Rajeev and Ekta, she has decided to replace
Gurpreet Singh (the new Sujal) with Rajeev. “No way!”
clarifies Ekta.
“The TRPs of Kahin Toh Hoga in the last few weeks have been
peaking and I am very happy with Gurpreet’s performance. I
have no intention of replacing him with anybody. In fact, I
complimented him on his performance just the other day.”
Loose
talk
Rajeev too doesn’t want to return to the show. “Such gossip
and loose talk mislead people and give rise to speculation. I
wish to tell everyone that I never look back in my life – I
look ahead.
I don’t miss anything, but crave for more. I crave for things
that can make me evolve better, personally and professionally.
Whatever decisions I have taken in the past have been correct as
far as I am concerned, and have helped me grow as a person and
an actor.”
