Gaurav Khanna shares Rajan Shahi was asked not to hire him in Anupamaa
In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, Gaurav Khanna shared that he wanted to prove to himself that he could do it, and he also wanted to prove it to Rajan Shahi, as the director had full faith in him despite people telling him not to hire the Celebrity MasterChef winner. In the same interview, the actor was asked if these comments came from some co-actors or someone from the team. Replying to the same, Gaurav revealed that Rajan was the only person who insisted on casting him in Anupamaa, and thus, he never really cared about other people’s opinions, and thus, he gave his 200 per cent in the show. In Gaurav’s words:
“I wanted to prove to myself that I can do it. Secondly, I wanted to prove it to Rajan (Rajan Shahi) sir because he had faith in me. Many people told him, ‘Why are you taking him? Take someone else; there are bigger, better names. Your show is so big.’ Many people said this to him.”
