This candid show JuzzBaatt...Sangeen Se Namkeen Tak is all about opening up and sharing the deepest juzzbaat, and many celebrities have broken down during the show. Unlike always when the celeb guests are probed to share their secrets and get down the emotional line, this time it is the host himself who shared a special moment of his life.
Rajeev Khandelwal tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend, Manjiri Kamtikar on February 7, 2011. Reminiscing about the proposal, Rajeev said on his show, "I proposed to Manjiri on the day of our engagement. There were conversations happening in the media about our relationship and I had no choice but to tell her parents.” (Also Read: Karan Patel And Ankita Karan Patel Share Their Baby's Arrival Month With The Cutest Picture Ever)
Rajeev further added, "I messaged to Manjiri's father and told him that I want to get married to her. Her father replied that he will discuss it with Manjiri's mother and the rest as we all know is history. I'm happily married to her now."
For the uninitiated ones, Rajeev and Manjiri met in a pub, and she does not belong from the entertainment industry. As they are both opposites in nature, this is what attracted Rajeev the most about her. Manjiri didn’t notice him initially, which made Rajeev even more headstrong to get her attention all his life. Rajeev also adopted a five-year-old girl named Swati in 2007 from an institute called Muskaan.

Talking about what made him accept the show, JuzzBaatt...Sangeen Se Namkeen Tak, Rajeev revealed, “JazzBaatt is a sort of candid, quirky, easy on the eyes chat show where I interact with celebrities in order to reveal interesting tales about their life and career. I took it because this was right after Sacch Ka Saamna and I found it to be a natural progression. I wanted to go forward and didn’t want to host something which didn’t have that kind of weight. This is something which has weight, depth and so I agreed to do it. I was offered a lot of shows but they were about anchoring, I wanted to host.” (Also Read: Sofia Hayat Opens Up About Embracing Her Body Post-Miscarriage; Says 'She Loves Her Beautiful Body')
When it comes to choosing roles for films, digital platform or television shows, Rajeev says that he follows his heart. He remarked, “I have managed and survived without being worried what I will do next. When I look back at my work, I think this is the pace I want to maintain and continue with. I don’t have a fixed plan, I don’t have a blue print that this is what I want to do, and reach there. All I want is when I look back I just want a sense of fulfilment and contentment that I did the right thing.” (Also Read: Sonam Kapoor Ahuja's Reaction On Anand Ahuja Changing His Name After Marriage Is 'Pure Love')
