 'Asked him if he got any Botox done, he said...'

Rajeev Khandelwal of Showtime and Aamir fame recently spoke to Radio Nasha and opened up about his unique and unforgettable meeting with the legendary Dev Anand. The actor revealed, “Dev saab called me for a film. I went there but I knew that I am not going to do this film because the kind of films he was making in those days… I knew that I didn’t want to do it. But I wanted to meet Dev saab.” Rajeev said that he doesn’t usually touch people’s feet but in Dev’s saab case, he wanted to show his respect and love, and so he bent down to touch the veteran actor’s feet.”

He added, “I went to Dev saab and I touched his feet. He stopped me there and asked ‘what are you doing?’ I said ‘sir, you inspire me’. He said ‘if that is the case then I should be touching your feet because youngsters like you inspire me a lot.”

Khandelwal also said he asked Anand if he got any Botox done as his skin looked really fresh. The superstar quipped that he should think ‘happy and positive.’

Khandelwal dominated Indian television with his appearance in Kahiin To Hoga and Left Right Left. He, then, embarked on a new journey and appeared in numerous films including Aamir, Table No 21, and Shahid Kapoor starrer Bloody Daddy.

The actor once revealed how stardom today is synthetic and the evolution of OTT.

He said, “It used to be organic. We used to be absolutely unaware of the kind of followers anybody would have or count the numbers of fans that anybody would have. And today, the stardom has become very, very, very, what do I say, synthetic. It is manufactured. So much so, for so many actors, I cannot give you the names, but then you also know, I also know, everybody knows that they are manufactured."
