Sanjay Nirupam unveiled Nikhil’s and Rahul's “La Patio” eighth floor terrace restobar at Mumbai’s Andheri West and once the guests trooped inside, there was another event to look forward to – the launch of television actor Rajeev Paul’s book of poems “Mumbai, Mohabbat Aur Tanhai” for which Juhi Chawla did the formal honors.
Juhi and many other guests like Poonam Dhillon, composer Wajid, Kunicka Lall and Sanjay Chhel also recited poems from the compilation.
Shaan, with wife Radhika, Sudhanshu Pande, Ashutosh and Renuka Shahne, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Mika Singh and many others attended the launch. Continental, Mediterranean and Indian cuisine was served and the bar was active too.
Said Rajev Paul, “I am into writing poems for around 15 years.”
Some of Rajev's poetry from this book have been composed as songs like “Uljha sa rehta hoon,” by the band Shadow. The song won the Asian Champion of the Year 2012 (Special Jury award), and the Best Electro/Dance act, Best Pop Song and the best freaking act in the universe (Special jury award).
Rajev Paul terms `Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii` as the turning- point of his career. He also featured in the popular soap "Swabhimaan.”
