Rahul wants bold & beautiful wife

Rahul Mahajan is gung ho about finding his bride on a TV reality show; his astrologer has predicted Rahul will marry in 2010 and he (the astrologer) is a PhD in astrology....
In Room 670 of a hotel in Delhi, overlooking the hotel compound and a semi-arid grove of bushes yonder, Rahul Mahajan has a spring in his step as he paces his suite, minutes before the official press conference to announce his latest enterprise.He is presented a sheet of paper - a brief that announces Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jaayega, a televised audition of prospective brides through which he will choose his wife. He is reading out the brief aloud when suddenly he stops dead in his tracks. ���Arre! Why have you written ���Rahul looking for his ���dreamgirl��� yaar! It���s too Hema Malini a reference. Please, man, don���t do this!��� he exclaims. Two ladies from the television channel team come forward to pacify him. ���This generation won���t even get the reference, Rahul. Please don���t worry about the ���dreamgirl��� bit being misconstrued. Believe us,��� says one of them.
Dreamgirl or not, Rahul is clear about one thing: Mukesh Sharma, his astrologer, can���t go wrong when choosing the right bevy of appropriate women worthy of betrothal. ���He is a PhD in astrology and at 37 years of age, he is just the man for this. He had predicted that by 2010 I would be married. And here I am now. I have full faith in him; he will check all the kundalis of the short-listed applicants,��� says Mahajan.
Any squeamishness about such a personal milestone being made this public? ���Look, the media has, without my permission, documented much of my life. Through dad���s death, the drug scandal, the messy divorce, all the bad stuff you guys covered with much glee. I wasn���t asking you to cover that then. My re-birth has happened via television thanks to shows like Bigg Boss. Also television penetration is so much better than penetration via internet.���
Come again? ���As in the reach is so much better. It���s 90 million homes! There are better chances of finding the right woman.��� Okay.
Payal Rohatgi must be devastated, we presume. ���I know Payal for the past nine years. She is completely chilled out. Monica (Bedi) too has wished me well on television. I am very ready for this.���
How have his friends from SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence), an organisation that he converted to a year ago, responded to his search for a wife on Planet Earth? ���Dr Drake of SETI knows, but unfortunately he is too old to come to my wedding. But I am certain he���ll watch it on television and have a complete blast.���
Giving us a sneak peek into his grooming, Rahul adds that he has been taking horse-riding lessons at the Mahalaxmi Race Course, and also attempting to spruce up his dance via a trainer called Abbas. When we ask him how much he is getting paid for this adventure, he claims. ���Look, it���s not as cold as that. When working on Chhote Miya I realised that I love kids. I want to have my own family. With dad dying, there has been a void. I want to have a fresh beginning after dad���s death. It���s like a cycle of life being accomplished; it���s not just merely about reproduction. It���s about being 34, and me wanting to be a dad. I have been a son. I know what sort of love a son needs. I will give that love to my kids. I am ready���
What sort of girl would he prefer? ���She will have to be bold and beautiful; her heart will have to be kind, as soft as a rose. She���ll have to be intelligent. It is only after the honeymoon is over that the real marriage begins. It���s when reality sets in. That���s the true test because marriage is not necessarily love. It is a lot more mature than that.���
