In an industry often accused of silencing uncomfortable truths, Rajeev Khandelwal has chosen to speak with rare frankness. During an exclusive interview with Filmfare, the actor made a startling revelation about facing the casting couch during his early years. Not once, but on multiple occasions. Sharing more on those moments and the choices he made, Rajeev also connected his personal experiences to the theme of his upcoming series Amar Vishwas. Interestingly, the series boldly addresses the very issue he once encountered.
Opening up about his experiences, Rajeev said, “You will probably hear it from everyone. It is a part and parcel of every industry. Someone powerful or someone who is in a position to make a difference to your career or to your life, would try and exploit you. If he wants to. So yes, I did face it. Not on one occasion but a couple of occasions. And I had to make the choice. I had made my choice. And to be honest, I am very happy with the choices that I made.”
Speaking about his new series Amar Vishwas, Rajeev Khandelwal also noted, “This is not about constructing my career. This is about following my gut. When I was told that this is based on a novel written 25 years back, I asked about the subject and the gist. Then I realised it was about casting couch. If it had been written, it means it was prevalent in the industry 25 years back as well. It is commendable that the writer could write something so boldly. They had my interest already.”
The series released on February 11, 2026 on Amazon MX Player.
