Rahul Mahajan

Rahul Mahajan (born 25 July 1975) is an Indian reality show entertainer and former pilot. He is the son of former union cabinet minister Pramod Mahajan. He appeared as a contestant on reality shows like '' Bigg Boss 2'', '' Bigg Boss Halla Bol'' and '' Bigg Boss 14''.

Career

Rahul participated in '' Bigg Boss 2'' in 2008. He was the finalist of the season. But a couple of days before the Grand Finale, Rahul Mahajan, Raja Chaudhary, Ashutosh Kaushik and Zulfi Syed climbed the wall to get out of the house. Mahajan has participated in ''Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega'', the reality show sequel of '' Rakhi Ka Swayamwar''. This show was a swayamvar for Rahul Mahajan, where 17 girls were participating including his would-be bride. Rahul Mahajan married Dimpy Mahajan (née Ganguly), a 25-year-old Bengali model and actress on 6 March 2010.
As the previous version of the show ('' Rakhi Ka Swayamwar'') did not culminate in a marriage, the marriage of Dimpy with Rahul was the first one of its kind to be telecast on Indian television with a national audience. Rahul and his wife Dimpy Mahajan had participated in '' Nach Baliye'' season 5. He also participated in Bigg Boss alongside her, but both were ultimately eliminated.

In February 2022, he participated in StarPlus's ''Smart Jodi'' as Contestant with Natalya.

In July 2006, he became engaged to Shweta Singh whom he knew for 13 years and was with in flying school in US together and also flew for Jet Airways. In December 2007, both filed for a divorce with mutual consent; Shweta filed for divorce after accusing him of domestic violence on 13 December 2007 on grounds of incompatibility and mutual consent of both parties. On 1 August 2008, Rahul Mahajan and his wife were granted a divorce by a Gurgaon court. District Judge Ramendra Jain granted their divorce after both parties mutually agreed on the move.

In 2010, Mahajan married Dimpy Ganguly at the end of ''Rahul Ka Swayamwar'', a TV reality show which staged a swayamvar for him. However, Dimpy left his Worli house after what she has described as violent abuse that involved "punching, kicking and dragging her by her hair".
