Rajeev Khandelwal adds a new feather in his hat

For Rajeev Khandelwal, not much has changed in his life even after the lockdown was imposed. While he is spending time with his family at his house in Goa, he continues to live life just the way he has always lived. “My normal, routine life continues even now. The only difference is that I can’t really step out even if I want to. My house in Goa is like a recreational centre and since I’m here right now, I’m getting to exercise and do pranayam, yoga, gardening, writing, reading, cooking, playing a harmonica and swimming. I’m also learning to strum a few strings on my guitar,” he shares.

What’s that one change that he would want to see in the post-Coronavirus world? “I would want the world to appreciate the smaller things that we’ve learnt in this lockdown period. The joy of doing small little things is much bigger than just chasing after the materialistic things in life. I hope that people learn from this lockdown and retain all the goodness which has flowed in because of this virus,” says the Aamir (2008) actor.

But what makes Khandelwal excited is that the audience recently got to watch him in a teleplay. Talking about his debut in the world of theatre, he says, “Working on my teleplay, Court Martial has been very thrilling because I’ve always wanted to do a play, not for the world but for myself because it’s one of the most challenging mediums for an actor.”
