But, this one actor, who has now become a huge sensation on OTT platforms, faced many hurdles in his life but did not gave up. One Of Most Talented Actors In Indian Cinema
Here we are talking about actor Rajeev Khandelwal, who has been in the film industry since 2008, but even today he has not got the title of a star. Rajeev Khandelwal obtained his Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from St. Xavier's College in Ahmedabad. The actor commenced his journey as a model but received his initial opportunity as an actor in the television series 'Kya Hadsaa Kya Haqeeqat,' where he portrayed a villainous role.
He was later offered Balaji Telefilms' 'Kahiin To Hoga,' a romantic drama, which brought him fame and established him as a star. He received multiple accolades for his role in Kahiin Toh Hoga and subsequently appeared in Ketan Mehta's action TV show, 'Time Bomb 9/11,' 'C.I.D' and 'Left Right Left.'

Rajiv told, 'My parents knew that I could live a good life, but they could not understand my passion for 'lights, camera and action', I was thrown out of my house, I come from an army background, my parents said that they did not understand what this industry is, they knew that I can live my life decently, but they were surprised 'where did the ghost of acting come from', they knew that I used to talk about acting since childhood, but they never thought that I would want to make it my career'.
Rajeev further said, that his parents forced him to focus on his studies and pursue a well-paid career instead of entering the world of acting. The actor further explained how his father insisted that he did not have enough money to fulfill his dream of becoming an actor. The actor said, 'It was like either you stay here and do the traditional things that students of your age are doing, otherwise, if you want to become a romantic hero and act, I don't have the money to offer you.'
For the unversed, Rajeev was recently featured in the web series Secret of Shiledars, which also stars Sai Tamhankar, Gaurav Amlani, Ashish Vidyarthi and Dilip Prabhavalkar in significant roles, which is available for streaming on Jio Hotstar.
