Rajeev Khandelwal on his character in Karan Johar backed Showtime

Rajeev Khandelwal is known for his versatile performances across television, film, and digital platforms. In the eagerly-awaited, Showtime, he delves deep into the psyche of Armaan, who’s an egoistic and arrogant superstar. Spilling beans on his character, he shared, “I could never relate to Armaan’s character at all. I'm a very different person. So if you look at my career graph or my trajectory or my choices, you will realize that I am not one of those actors. But yes, the kind of actor that I'm portraying, they're all around. So you keep hearing stories about these actors all the time. So it's a mixture.”

“It's an amalgamation of many actors, and I won't name them. But I'm sure I must have reminded you of a couple of them. So it's all about a lot of superstars we've seen in the past and their insecurities, their attitude, approach, their belief system and things like that,” he further added.
