Ah, college romance and old Bollywood songs – name a more iconic duo. Rajeev Khandelwal just did exactly that on his new show Tum Ho Naa – Ghar Ki Superstar, and fans are already feeling the nostalgia. The actor-host invited veteran star Poonam Dhillon as a special guest and ended up spilling sweet, melty details about his own campus love story.
College Days and a Song That Stuck
During the episode, Rajeev got major flashbacks of his time as a student in Ahmedabad. Seeing Poonam Dhillon on the set, he couldn’t help but connect her to a very specific memory. “Aur aapko dekh kar mujhe mere college ke din yaad aa jaate hain. Mere college mein ek girlfriend hua karti thi…” he revealed, before diving into how a certain song from her filmography became his emotional anchor. Whenever things got rocky in that relationship – distance growing, misunderstandings creeping in – he would put that track on loop and just listen. Yaar, woh kya comfort zone tha!
Rajeev even hummed a few lines from the iconic number: “Kabhi zindagi mein bade mushkilein toh, tujhe main sambhalun, mujhe tu sambhale, mil jaaye is tarah…” The confession was pure gold – the kind of relatable moment that makes you smile and think of your own playlist of heartbreak songs. According to the actor, that melody became a go-to whenever he needed to process the ups and downs of young love.
Poonam Dhillon’s Timeless Track
The song in question? One of Poonam Dhillon’s biggest hits, of course. While Rajeev didn’t name the film explicitly, he made it clear that the track has been with him through thick and thin. For the uninitiated, Poonam Dhillon ruled the 80s and 90s with her girl-next-door charm and super-hit numbers. Hearing her react to Rajeev’s admission was equally adorable – she seemed genuinely touched that her work left such a mark on someone’s personal life. Bas, woh chemistry on screen translated into a lifetime of memories for fans.
The conversation also took a deeper turn – they talked about how songs from that era continue to echo in people’s hearts even today. Rajeev’s little story became a beautiful testament to that. Kya baat hai, sir!
