After
starting
his
career
on
television,
newcomer
Rajveer's
debut
film
Kaisay
Kahein
has
hit
the
screens
and
met
with
a
lukewarm
response.
He
talks
to
us
about
how
he
made
it
into
the
film
industry
and
recounts
memorable
incidents
during
the
making
of
the
movie.
Your
movie
got
released
last
week,
how
does
it
feel
to
be
a
part
of
Bollywood?
It
feels
great,
it's
a
dream
come
true.
It's
an
experience
that
cannot
be
expressed,
but
can
only
be
felt.
The
hard
work
that
we
have
put
in
shows
in
the
final
product.
I
am
thankful
to
god
and
Smitaji
for
this.
How
did
you
get
this
role?
I
used
to
work
in
a
production
house
and
met
Smitaji
through
a
friend
of
mine.
She
initially
told
me
that
if
I
was
thinking
that
she
would
make
a
movie
with
me,
I
was
wrong.
Two
years
later,
she
approached
me
with
a
different
plan
and
my
joy
knew
no
bounds.
Did
you
always
want
to
become
an
actor?
Yes,
I
always
wanted
to
become
an
actor.
And
it
is
now
a
reality.
I
still
remember
I
was
in
the
fifth
standard
when
I
got
the
chance
to
perform
on
stage,
that
too,
the
role
of
a
girl.
It
was
the
first
time
I
had
acted.
Have
you
attended
acting
workshops?
No,
I
have
never
gone
to
any
acting
class.
My
father
always
told
me
to
learn
acting
by
watching
performances
of
veterans.
I
used
to
watch
Amitabhji
and
Shahrukhji
on
screen
and
learnt
from
their
performances.
Who
are
your
Bollywood
idols?
Shahrukhji,
Akshay
Kumar
and
Govinda,
they
are
all
mind-blowing.
How
was
the
experience
of
working
with
Neha
Julka?
It
was
a
pleasure
working
with
her;
she
is
a
nice
and
confident
actress.
The
chemistry
between
us
was
good.
In
an
interview,
Neha
said
that
director
Mohit
Hussain
was
arrogant
in
the
beginning.
Your
comments?
Initially,
he
did
come
across
as
very
rigid
to
me.
He
was
in
no
mood
to
compromise
on
his
ideas
but
I
think
as
a
director
he
must
have
had
a
vision
which
he
did
not
want
anyone
to
tamper
with.
Now
we
share
a
very
good
rapport
with
him.
You
said
you
have
worked
with
a
production
house
as
an
assistant
director
so
did
you
also
assist
Mohit
in
the
making
of
this
movie?
No,
from
the
direction
point
of
view,
I
was
nowhere
in
the
picture.
But
I
was
involved
in
the
dubbing
and
publicity
even
though
it
was
not
my
job.
I
did
so
because
it
was
like
a
house
production
for
me.
You
are
known
to
be
a
shy
person,
so
did
you
face
any
problems
while
shooting?
Yes,
I
am
a
shy
person.
There
was
an
incident
on
the
sets
that
I
find
very
amusing
now.
We
were
shooting
for
the
promos
and
I
had
to
hug
Neha
as
part
of
the
scene.
But
I
was
very
shy
hugging
her
in
front
of
her
mother
who
was
present
there.
So
I
asked
the
crew
to
take
her
mom
away
for
five
minutes
so
that
I
can
give
the
shot
with
ease.
What
does
Smita
Thackeray
mean
to
you?
I
call
her
my
god
mother.
Today,
whatever
I
am
it's
all
because
of
her.
She
is
instrumental
in
making
my
dreams
come
true.
Tomorrow
whatever
I
become,
the
foundation
will
be
Smitaji.
Are
you
satisfied
with
the
kind
of
response
your
movie
has
got?
I
am
satisfied
with
my
work
and
the
labour
that
we
all
have
put
in.
Today,
people
go
with
their
families
and
watch
movies
at
multiplexes
that
charge
them
a
minimum
of
Rs
1,000.
Kaise
Kahein's
release
date
clashed
with
Heyy
Babyy
which
is
a
multi-starrer,
so
our
film's
opening
was
a
bit
dull.
But
I
am
still
happy
with
the
response.
Don't
you
think
it
wasn't
justified
to
launch
Kaisay
Kahein
along
with
Heyy
Babyy?
No,
the
time
is
generally
bad
to
start
a
good
project.
We
had
no
other
option
as
every
week
till
December
some
or
the
other
big
banner
movie
is
getting
released.
What's
next?
Smitaji
is
planning
another
film
and
I
have
even
got
offers
from
other
producers
but
I
can't
say
anything
till
they
materialize.
Are
you
willing
to
take
up
a
role
in
television,
if
given
an
offer?
I
started
off
with
television
and
I
see
no
harm
in
doing
television
if
things
don't
work
out
in
films.
