Rajeev Khandelwal to quit
'Kahiin To Hoga'?

BY VICKEY LALWANI (www.indiantelevision.com)


The celebrations of
Kahiin To Hoga winning four awards (Best Debutante Male, Best Debutante Female, TV Personality of the Year Male, Best Ensemble of the Year) at the Sangini Indian Telly Awards Nite last week may not have yet died down at Balaji House, but creative head Ekta Kapoor has a huge problem on her hands.

And this time, the problem's far bigger than when Amar Upadhyay and Nausheen Ali Sardar kissed goodbye to Kyunki Saas Bhi... and Kkusum respectively.

The most happening guy on Indian television, Rajeev Khandelwal, is packing his bags and is ready to leave KTH!

According to reliable sources, the debonair Khandelwal was unhappy about the script for quite a while. The decision to quit has been taken after much contemplation and deliberation. KTH which had a phenomenal start in the ratings stakes, has, in the recent past, dwindled below the top 10 shows, far below the steady Kasautii Zindagi Kay and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.

Sources reveal that Rajeev, better known as the dashing Sujal, strongly felt that his character was going nowhere, the story was deviating from the main track a little too often, and above all, the future graph of his character did not excite him. Flustered at the fact that nothing had improved according to his requirements, he has decided to move on.

The actor has given about 15 days to Balaji Telfilms to wind up his character.

It will be interesting to see how Kapoor will fight this out. One feels that it would be very difficult to get a replacement in terms of another actor who would have an equivalent fan following.

We have it on authority that Khandelwal is not ditching the Balaji camp for any better offer, be it the big screen or the tube. It's a risk alright, but talent and creativity should swim ashore. In other words, Khandelwal should soon be rocking somewhere else. Let's see what destiny holds for him.

Meanwhile, Star Plus has not yet intervened in the matter. They would certainly like Khandelwal to take his decision back, but can they make him do it?

But i m very happy coz i never liked the serial at all and also the story as Rajeev thinks is actually going nowhere . He is really sensible and intelligent person to do so. I really want to see him potraying a different character then Sujal . A character where we all will forget Sujal and will become fans of this new character.

VERY GOOD DECISION TAKEN BY RAJEEV.HE REALLY DESERVES

BETTER THEN THE BORING KTH.

Thanks for the news, Mystica. But this is awful news! I can't believe Rajeev decided to leave KTH especially after he got all these awards for the show. I mean, everyone watched KTH only for him. This is all Ekta's fault. If she had a better storyline and character sketch for Rajeev, I bet he wouldn't leave this show. So, I can't blame him if he does leave the show. I just hope that we get to see him in a far better serial or film because his immense talent should not go to waste.

One year contract is already over jyali on september. I m quite happy with the news coz they were really misusing him.

Very few people have the guts to do that .I respect him for the decision and will like him even more after this. He worked till one story line was going and now when kth also started showing stupid things like kyunki or kasauti just to drag it longer he quitted . Very good going.
