"I'm going to travel extensively by car. I plan to take my mother and father on the longest drive ever from my home town in Jaipur to Ladakh in the middle of March. I want them to experience this journey. I know they'll enjoy it."

Rajiv is prepared for the eventuality that his only serial Left Right Left might not return. "The ball is entirely in their court. If they improve on the quality I'm on. Otherwise after I return from my road holiday with my parents I start preparing for my movie career."
Rajiv has a couple of film offers in the piepeline. "But so far I haven't zeroed in on any project."
