Rajeev Khandelwal shares early acting struggles on Tum Ho Naa
Actor reveals how imitation and observation shaped his craft over time
MUMBAI: Rajeev Khandelwal offered a candid glimpse into his acting journey on Tum Ho Naa – Ghar Ki Superstar, revealing that his craft was shaped as much by imitation as by instinct.
During a recent episode, while interacting with a contestant, the actor spoke about his early days and how he would observe fellow performers closely before attempting to replicate their styles in private. The exercise, he explained, helped him understand his own screen presence and refine his approach to acting.
“Jab main logon ko dekhta tha, toh main khud jaa ke apne room mein thoda-bahut aisa sochta tha ki main bhi aisa kar sakta hoon,” he shared, describing how the process of imitation became a stepping stone in his development as an actor.
The revelation adds a layer of relatability to Khandelwal’s journey, highlighting that even seasoned performers often rely on trial, observation and repetition before finding their unique voice.
The conversation also turned interactive, with Khandelwal asking the contestant whether dancing came naturally to her. She responded in the affirmative, noting that when any art form feels instinctive, it enhances expression and authenticity.
The exchange struck a chord, offering both insight and inspiration, as Khandelwal connected personal experience with the contestant’s perspective.
The show, which airs on Sony Entertainment Television and streams on Sony LIV, continues to blend performance with personal storytelling, giving audiences a closer look at the journeys behind the spotlight.
