today! BollyCurry takes a look at the young actor's journey so far.
Khandelwal,
now 39, was born in Jaipur, Rajasthan into an army family. He is currently married to Manjiri
Kamtikar, who he dated for over a year before tying the knot in Jodhpur in 2011.
Khandelwal began
his career by writing, directing documentaries and modeling for various
brands. He shot to fame when he was approached by
Ekta Kapoor to play
the role of Sujal Grewal, the handsome lover in
Kahin Toh
Hoga. He is still fondly remembered for his highly acclaimed portrayal
of the character. However, Khandelwal took a complete turn for his next set of
roles by picking action packed shows and playing characters like Varun Awasthi
in
Time Bomb 9/11 and ACP Prithviraj in
CID. He also
hosted the reality show
Sachh Ka Saamna (2009). His Bollywood debut came with
Aamir (2008),
in which he played the role of a young Muslim man, Dr.
Aamir Ali. The movie, as
well as his performance, got rave reviews from both critics and the audience.
This multi-talented man went on to do numerous other varied roles including
Shaitan (2011) and
Soundtrack (2011), before tasting success again with
Table
No. 21 (2013). His performance was appreciated and he continued to prove
his versatility as an actor. His
upcoming projects include
DOA: Death of Amar, slated to release later this year.
