Rajeev Khandelwal says 'Vande Bharatam' is not a show but pan-India movement
Mumbai, June 30
Actor Rajeev Khandelwal, who serves as the host on the show 'Vande Bharatam', has called it a pan-India movement.
The show is a nationwide initiative that celebrates innovation, entrepreneurship and the spirit of new-age India. For Rajeev, the association goes far beyond adding another hosting credit to his impressive career.
Talking about the same, Rajeev said, "It's great to be a part of a show which is actually more of a movement than of a show and something which is pan-India, something which involves the entire country and something that contributes to the future of the country".
The actor is known for his credibility, warmth and ability to connect with audiences across television, films and digital platforms, Rajeev's association adds a relatable and trustworthy voice to the initiative. His presence promises to make the journey not just entertaining but deeply inspiring, celebrating the dreams and determination of people who are building a stronger, brighter India one idea at a time.
"So the moment I was approached and when I understood the whole spirit of the show and the series, I said yes. And as an actor, as an artist, as a host, as someone who people look up to, I feel it's one of the many ways of giving back to my own country", he added.
The series aims to shed light on inspiring innovators, entrepreneurs and changemakers from every corner of India, bringing untold stories of ambition, resilience and vision to a national audience. As the face of the initiative, the actor will guide viewers through this inspiring journey, interacting with participants and showcasing ideas that have the potential to shape the future of the nation.
'Vande Bharatam' is a talent-hunt and mentorship platform aimed at finding India's next entrepreneurs and innovators.

This is what we need - more platforms that celebrate our entrepreneurs and innovators rather than mindless entertainment. But I hope it doesn't become just another reality show with drama. Let it be genuine and focused on real impact.
Rajeev is correct - this is a movement. The youth of India need inspiration and mentorship. If this show can connect small-town innovators with national resources, it will truly be a game changer. Well done! 👏
The name 'Vande Bharatam' itself evokes pride. But let's be honest - many such shows start with great intentions but end up being biased towards urban participants. I hope they truly reach rural innovators who often lack exposure. That would make it a real pan-India movement.
This is much needed. Our country has so many unsung heroes with brilliant ideas who just need a platform. Rajeev Khandelwal has always been a class act - his warmth and sincerity will definitely add value. Let's hope the execution matches the vision! 🤞
Nice initiative but I hope they focus on substance over style. Too many shows these days are just about flashy sets and dramatic moments. If they genuinely mentor and fund these entrepreneurs, it could be revolutionary. Rajeev is a good choice though - he seems authentic.
