From November 4, Rajeev Khandelwal steps into the Sony show CID as new ACP,
Prithviraj. The current ACP, Pradyuman (Shivaji Satam) has been suspended after
his son's links with terrorists were proved. Are you stepping into the shoes of ACP Pradyuman (Shivaji Satam)? No, I am walking in with my own pair of shoes; but the chair remains the same. What happens to ACP
Pradyuman? Is this a cameo or
will ACP Prithviraj continue in the track? You began with
Kahiin To Hoga on Star Plus, then did Time Bomb on Zee and now CID on Sony? Is
this a move to be seen across channels? What about other
projects? How do you look back
at your association with Balaji? Do you thing you can
shed the Sujal image? So now you want
people to remember you as ACP Prithviraj? What about the film
front? Do you ever see
yourself doing theatre? | ||

Rajeev Khandewal joins CID | ||
Rajeev Khandewal, aka Varun Awasthi of Time Bomb and former Sujal of Kahiin To Hoga is gearing to play the role of a tough cop in a detective serial. "I liked the character when it was narrated to me and agreed to be a part of it. I play the character of an ACP who has just come out of the police academy unlike some others who make their way up by ranks," says Rajeev. So how does this young ACP make his entry on the show? "Well, I have just begun shooting. So I don't know how my character will make an entry. But, It goes on to show that after Shivaji Satam's exit, I will take charge of the team. And that comes as a shock to the team members. They find it difficult to have a young ACP lead their team," he says. Rajeev Khandelwal's appointment as ACP happens in the wake of ACP Pradyuman's (played by Shivaji Satam) suspension from office. |

A star is reborn | ||
Screen On & Off | ||
A star was born on STAR. Then unceremoniously stripped of his crown because he allegedly grew bigger than the serial. But by then he had already become the heartthrob of the TV-viewing nation and he soon got to hold the Time Bomb on Zee. And now with the bomb set to explode, the man's on to a new role on Sony. Here's re-introducing Rajeev Khandelwal aka Sujal of Kahiin To Hoga. In a casting coup of sorts, Sony has picked Rajeev to replace Shivaji Satam as the new boss of the popular crime drama CID. But with a twist in the sleuth tale, of course. Rajeev will be playing a different character altogether, that of a young and dashing ACP (Aamir Khan of Sarfarosh, anyone?). "That's what attracted me to do the show in the first place," Rajeev tells Metro. "I get to give a new look to a serial which is already popular among the viewers. CID is an intelligent show which has lots of logic and once I appear the whole set-up will become even more different. That's all I can divulge now." Insiders at Sony reveal that Rajeev's character in the serial has to face a lot of resentment from his colleagues before he is accepted by the team. Then they all get cracking with the cases again. The promos of the new CID with Rajeev as the top cop will be shown on Sony from this Monday in an effort to boost the TRPs as soon as he appears on the show from November 4. A new role was always in the offing for Rajeev, what with Time Bomb ticking to an end by November. "I was planning to take up a new assignment on TV," he says. "CID is something which is more me, although I am not a very action-action person as such. But with the new storyline, I can see myself connecting with the audiences again." No matter what he does, isn't Rajeev Khandelwal still very much Kahiin To Hoga's Sujal? "Come on, give me a break," protests Rajeev. "I don't miss the serial. At most, I am proud of it. I don't even watch any of these stupid saas-bahu serials on TV. I realised they are not for me anyway. Why should I miss something I walked out on?" As with all high-profile telly stars, Rajeev is looking for a screen switch. "Although I haven't signed any film yet, I can sense it's coming soon," he says about his filmi foray |
You are a successful male in your 30s and have just moved into your brand new home. The first few days pass in a flurry of parties and you generously order the best of take away's for all your pals. But once the party is over and it's time to settle down, the reality of having moved into your own very empty pad sinks in.
You have a choice. You could, like television actor Rajeev Khandelwal get the help of an interior designer to spruce up your home. Or, if you have the inclination, browse through magazines and go shopping for the best buys. Your best bet would be to scan the papers each morning and look out for cheap deals and good sales. Khandelwal says it's best to go for the basic essentials for each room. "You must know what you require in your kitchen. You could also get a carpenter to make furniture for you based on your specifications and design."
You could also spread the word amongst your circle of friends and colleagues to keep you posted on trendy stuff. If you know people who have recently done up their homes, you could get tips from them.
