He may have started his acting career from TV but Rajeev Khandelwal says he cannot see himself hosting a show like "Bigg Boss".
Rajeev, who got his breakthrough role as Sujal Garewal on the 2003 show "Kahin To Hoga", has hosted two reality shows, "Deal Ya No Deal" and "Sach Ka Saamna".
When asked if he will ever host a show like "Bigg Boss", Rajeev told PTI, "No no, 'Bigg Boss' is not my cup of tea. I don't think I can do that kind of stuff. I think may be something as exciting as 'Sach Ka Saamna'. May be...If something exciting is offered to me I'll take it."
The 40-year-old actor made his film debut in the 2008 crime-thriller "Aamir" and followed it up with the 2011 thriller "Shaitaan".
Rajeev says he love being part of films which are thoughtful and not preachy.
"I don't seek subjects which help me teach the world. 'Aamir' had a very beautiful thought, without being preachy. Even in 'Table No 21', there was a thought behind it. So I look out for subjects like these and not the routine subjects that are offered to me."
The actor, who was last seen in "Samrat & Co." in 2014, is on a break right now after wrapping up his latest TV serial "Reporters".
"I have a movie coming up but right now I am on a break. I am just chilling, I just got done with a show and I was working for six months. Now I need to take a break and attend to other important things in life."
Rajeev will start working on a period drama as his next film outing.
The actor, however, did not divulge further details.
