Ankhon Dekhi star Rajat Kapoor is a man of many words and is also a little picky while choosing his projects! The actor joined our anchor, Tonakshi Kalra, for some street food exploration and lots of filmy conversations on this episode of Tere Gully Mei. As the food lovers made a pitstop to gorge on some garma garam fried kachoris, the anchor couldn’t help but wonder if Rajat’s stupendous Bollywood success had something to do with his picky acumen. So, being the daredevil and free spirit that she is, Tonakshi asked Rajat Kapoor if he was very picky in choosing his projects. Scroll down for the video and the answer!
Rajat Kapoor Admits To Being A Little Picky Before Choosing His Projects
Rajat Kapoor has enjoyed the success of cult-classic films like Ankhon Dekhi, Bheja Fry and Kapoor And Sons. The ardent Dilli-wala who we thought would be adjusted to the scorching heat of the city surprisingly exclaims, “It’s so hot here and she is making me roam the streets of Chandni Chowk in this humidity.” Not one to bear the brunt of the playful jab Tonakshi quips, “That’s because you have worn black!”
As much as the mouth-watering aroma of kachoris were enticing, it couldn’t stop our anchor from asking some fiery questions. She asked the actor if he was picky before agreeing to projects. In the actor’s words, “I am a little picky because you don’t want to overspread yourself and do something that you don’t believe in.”
For the veteran actor, there should be a factor within the project that calls out to him and aligns with his beliefs. Clearly, Rajat impressed our anchor with his sharp acumen and judgement!
