Mumbai, Feb 19 (NationPress) In the newly launched series 'The Secrets of The Shiledars', Rajeev Khandelwal takes on the role of an older brother to Gaurav Amlani. Their on-screen chemistry has garnered widespread acclaim from viewers. Interestingly, the foundation of their relationship was laid during their initial encounter.
Their first interaction occurred during a photo shoot for the series. Gaurav Amlani shared, “I had already commenced crafting the dynamic between Aditya and Ravi. I envisioned how their connection should develop in a natural manner. As the moment approached for our introduction, I resolved that I wouldn’t meet Rajeev Khandelwal as Gaurav Amlani but rather as Aditya, my character, to connect with Ravi in a way that resembled true brotherhood.”
He further recounted that, as the producer facilitated their introduction, Rajeev extended his hand for a handshake, but Gaurav chose to trust his instincts. Gaurav explained, “Instead, I moved his hand aside, embraced him warmly, and conveyed everything through my energy and presence, ‘you’re my elder brother, I cherish you, I admire you, and I hold immense respect for you’. While posing for photos, I even gave him a kiss on the cheek, leaving everyone astonished. This was the point when he realized our relationship would be free of formalities.”
He acknowledged that Rajeev Khandelwal welcomed this gesture, noting, “It was very generous and secure of him to allow me into his personal space. This led to us sharing meals, enjoying music, and spending significant time together. Our bond grew so naturally that he even began bringing home-cooked meals for us. His team later revealed that he hadn’t invited anyone into his personal space in the past 20 years, and they were amazed to see him so open to receiving my affection.”
Gaurav Amlani concluded by expressing that he has genuinely found an elder brother in Rajeev Khandelwal.
