First Of Many, The Indian Express, November 2019
In a career spanning over two decades, Rahul Khanna has done around a dozen film projects, many of which have left an indelible impression in the minds of the audience. The actor who was seen in Netflix series Leila earlier this year, is fondly remembered for movies including Bollywood/Hollywood, Raqeeb, Love Aaj Kal and Wake Up Sid.
The model-turned-actor has remained a favourite television anchor starting 1990s, and has also hosted various award shows and B-town's big events. From endorsements to writing, there's nothing that Rahul hasn't done. But one of his most striking work is Deepa Mehta's directorial 1947: Earth, the second movie in Mehta's elemental trilogy (Fire, Earth and Water). It was a story about a group of friends, set in 1947, against the backdrop of the partition of India and Pakistan, and seen through the eyes of a young Parsi girl. 1947: Earth was also India's official entry for the Academy Awards in 1999.
But how did Rahul, who was already hosting shows on MTV, land the role of Hassan in 1947: Earth, which also got him the Filmfare Award for Best Debut?
Here's what the actor shared:

RAHUL KHANNA
The dapper actor began visiting Alibag as a teenager, after his mother’s best friend, an early ‘pioneer’ to the area, built a home. Nowadays he visits his brother, who can be spotted regularly on the jetty. “I love the sense of community, and that everyone knows everyone,” Rahul says. “It’s a much gentler social ecosystem than in Mumbai. People socialize, but it’s low impact. And everything is outdoors, which we don’t have in Mumbai.” Rahul is photographed here in a Kunal Maniar-designed pool and garden

Why We Broke Up
Dear B.A.
Can you believe we’ve been together well over
two decades now? How time flies.
I’m not sure if you know this, but you were my
first.

Forbes Life, India, March 2016
Like Hassan, the shy
and reticent masseur he played in his debut film 1947 Earth, Rahul Khanna is a man of few words. Sitting at a
posh coffee shop in South Mumbai, where ForbesLife
India meets him for a freewheeling chat, the
VJ-turned-model-turned-actor takes his time to choose his words carefully. But
when he speaks, a few sentences to each question, the articulate style icon
turns heads with his clarity of thought, just like he does on screen, playing
the suave Yousaf Rana in The Americans,
an espionage series set in the Cold War era.
Despite father Vinod
Khanna being a Bollywood star, Rahul Khanna never grew up as the “star child”.
His introverted nature is reflected in his aversion for all things flashy;
instead his wardrobe is replete with pieces that are classic and
“conservative”. “I want a long-term relationship with my wardrobe. I love the
idea of savouring pieces by reusing them over and over rather than discarding
them after just one or two outings,” says the 43-year-old.
While Khanna loves
owning beautiful and stylish clothes, he says he dislikes the process of acquiring
them. “In show business, so much time is spent on trying on clothes that when
it comes to my personal wardrobe, the very thought of shopping exhausts me. So
I try and do it as infrequently as possible.” he says. But once he finds
something he likes, he tends to buy it in multiples, in case he can’t find it
again.
