The maker made embarrassing demand from Rajiv Khandelwal
Rajiv says, “When this happened (when the casting couch fell prey), I directly said to the person, ‘Sorry sir, you will not meet me.’ In my mind, I thought, will this person decide my luck? No. I write my luck myself. Just because someone refuses to support me in my journey, it does not mean that my journey will not move forward. I never gave anyone the strength to make or spoil my life. “
