As I've said earlier, I primarily joined Wattpad to read Raina stories.And from the previous chapter you people have already understood what Left Right Left is to me. Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat made me fall for Rajeev Khandelwal.. 😻
The beginning of my Rajeev Khandelwal story dates back to 2007 April.

As a kid 👶or a teenager👧, I was never interested in watching TV serials, family dramas specially. Well I knew the characters and some actors of the daily soaps my mom was a fan of, but never paid attention to any. It was in the year 2003/04, I donot remember exact, when all of a sudden all my friends started discussing about some "SUJAL". Later I learnt from them that Sujal is a character from the serial Kahin To Hoga, the guy is damn handsome and sexy. His name in original is Rajeev Khandelwal. To be true, I found the surname quite weird🙈🙊 and never felt any urge to see atleast once who the guy is. Sujal and Rajeev had become the only topic of discussion amongst my friends during school breaks, tuitions, telephone convos... literally every where. Frustrated me, I remember once I asked my mom "Maa Sujal ke?"(maa who's Sujal?). My mom wasn't Ekta drama lover and even she couldn't help me out😳.

Days passed by, and gradually the Sujal mantra decreased..

It was after my 10th boards, when I had ample time to indulge in my hobbies, I started watching the retelecast of Left Right Left (the normal telecast was stopped for IPL). And..................................it's something like i achieved enlightenment..

I was dumbstruck watching Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat from the very moment of his entey in LRL. I was dumbfolded. What a face! What an attitude. The character just mesmerised me. The character kinda became my 'jap mantra'. Rajveer, Rajveer, Rajveer, Rajveer, Rajveer.....I kept humming the name all the time. After few episodes, I was keen in knowing the person playing Rajveer. It was then I found the character was played by the same person whose surname I once found weird 🙈😂.
It's none other than Rajeev Khandelwal. I was dumbstruck once again. It came as a shock!
I couldn't believe my eyes! 🙈🙈🙈
I gradually recovered from that shock trauma..😁😁

But I had not a single Rajeev lover friend to share my feelings with, as none of my Sujal lover friends found LRL interesting! 😢😢
When I said them all about, they started teasing me..🙈 Infact they teased me badly knowing about my crush on him.. I kinda enjoyed their sweet torture, as they made me feel one with Rajeev 🙈🙈🙈.

It was then one of them suggested me to watch Kahin to Hoga saying I will fall for him more watching Sujal.
Believing her words, I saw a few episodes of KTH, but I couldn't love Sujal as much as I loved Rajveer (sorry all Sujal fans). My love for Rajveer aka Rajeev increased with each passing day and I literally day dreamed about him. I started watching all his interviews, reading articles about him... I found the man Rajeev in real. A real bliss..

What a phase that was!! 😇😇

The news of Rajeev quitting LRL came as a shock! I cried the whole day watching the episode of his exit. I hated him for that. I had decided not to watch any of his shows/movies out of frustration.. Alas! I couldn't do so.. my love for him is way more than the little anguish hatered (hatered that you feel for a person you love deeply, out of anger)..

The teenage love gradually turned to admiration with my growing age and mental maturity. I realised what I feel for him is not that teenage love or crush. But something more..the love which is the result of intense respect for a person.. his outlook of life, society, his nature, his down to earth personality attracted  me more, somewhere I found his nature similar to mine. And that makes me attached to him all the more.

Today I write to him anything. What I feel about his shows, about travels etc. I open my heart to him through emails. Fortunately I get replies too. 😇😊.

Without any denial, I'm an ardent admirer of Rajeev Khandelwal. The character Rajveer acted as the stimulus.. I still cant understand Rajeev or Rajveer whom do I admire more?! Coz one made me know the person, and the person made me fall for the character more..

Well, now I keep this dilemma of mine aside.. else I will end up writing endless..

Now when I look back, I smile at my immature self for trying to hate him (for his exit from LRL). Coz I've realised it's impossible. I smile at my foolish self for ignoring the Sujal convos of my friends. Hadn't I ignored those chats, I could have discovered this amazing personality long before. I smile at my blushing self who crushed hard on Rajeev, and I realise I blush still 😄😄.

Rajeev has given me countless reasons to smile,but, now I literally donot need any.. The name Rajeev itself brings a smile on my face. The word Rajeev has become a synonym of smile in my little world.

I don't know what future holds, but what I'm sure about is, I can never stop admiring Rajeev Khandelwal. I know I can never admire him more than I do today, yet I know I will tomorrow..

Sharing Rajeevs mantra with all....
"Keep Smiling"...
