Mumbai, May 26, 2026: The upcoming episode of Tum Ho Naa will see Rajeev Khandelwal reminiscing about his childhood and sharing a deeply personal anecdote about his love for poetry.
While interacting with a contestant, Rajeev spoke about his childhood summer vacations and how he would often spend time writing poetry. Recalling those days, he said, “Aapko pata hai, maine bhi Punjab mein 4 saal bitaye hain. Jalandhar mein, main baith ke poetry likhta tha kuch na kuch banata rehta tha. Abhi baat karte karte mujhe apna bachpan yaad aa raha hai.”
He further shared a special memory from his school days when he used poetry as a source of motivation. “Bachpan mein maine ek poetry likhi thi jab mujhe table tennis khelne ke liye Jammu jaana tha. Main matches khelne jaata tha, lekin mujhe cheer karne ke liye koi nahi hota tha koi push karne wala nahi tha. Toh main khud ko hi push karta tha. Thodi bahut cheezein karta tha motivate hone ke liye, aur tab maine ek poetry likhi thi. Jammu ja raha tha regionals ke liye… aur woh mujhe aaj bhi yaad hai.”
Rajeev’s heartfelt revelation highlighted his self-driven spirit and showcased a lesser-known, introspective side of his personality, making for a touching and relatable moment on the show.
