The Story in Brief
In an interview with Deccan Herald, actor Rajeev Siddhartha says he has a strong feeling that his character Rahil will have a larger presence in the second season of the web series 'Musafir Cafe'. Siddhartha, who plays a traveller who guides a cafe owner, admits he wanted to shake Rahil for not being more direct with Preeti. He addresses audience misunderstanding about Rahil's flirtations, explaining the character is trying to motivate someone not living up to her potential. Siddhartha also reveals he would like to play a monk or a boxer on screen, and that his boarding school days in Mussoorie, where the show was shot, felt like a homecoming.
The Indian Opinion
The interview reveals a refreshingly candid actor who does not shy away from his character's flaws. Some fans criticised Rahil's flirtations as intrusive, but Siddhartha rightly points out the nuance: Rahil's concern for Preeti's self-sabotage. The usual narrative around web series often reduces characters to love triangles; here, the complexity of platonic friendship gets overlooked. The real test will be whether Season 2 fleshes out Rahil's backstory, as Siddhartha himself wonders about his past relationships. That detail could either deepen or dilute the character we have come to know.
