It was a full on filmy moment on Tum Ho Naa as contestant Deepa Bhatia brought classic Bollywood charm to the stage with a unique request for Rajeev Khandelwal .
A self-confessed Sridevi fan, Deepa expressed her wish to recreate the magic of the iconic Anil Kapoor and Sridevi pairing. Asking Rajeev to step into Anil Kapoor’s shoes while she imagined herself as Sridevi, she highlighted how the legendary duo has delivered record-breaking films over the years. Adding a quirky twist to her request, Deepa even brought along a fake mustache for Rajeev to wear, instantly setting the tone for a fun filled segment.
Sportingly embracing the moment, Rajeev put on the mustache, prompting Deepa to excitedly say, “Anil Kapoor bhi aaj khush ho jayenge.” Without skipping a moment, Rajeev responded with his signature wit, “Anil Kapoor kya khush ho jayenge, main khush ho gaya ki main Anil Kapoor ji jaisa dikh raha hoon thoda sa.”
What followed was pure entertainment as Rajeev broke into a lively dance performance on ‘Rabne Banaya Tujhe Mere Liye,’ delighting both the contestants and the audience with his enthusiasm and charm.
The fun didn’t stop there. After the performance, another contestant added a humorous touch with a famous line, “Moochh ho toh Nathulal jaisi, aur main kehti hoon muskurahat ho toh Rajeev jaisi.” Rajeev, in his humble style, admitted he wasn’t quite sure if his smile was that good, keeping the mood candid and relatable.
The moment reached its peak when a contestant playfully remarked, “Aap aunties ke crush ho,” leaving Rajeev blushing and the entire set bursting into laughter.
This playful exchange once again showcased Rajeev Khandelwal’s ability to connect with contestants, blending humor, spontaneity, and warmth, making Tum Ho Naa an absolute joy to watch.
