MUMBAI: Rahul Krushna Vaidya is an Indian singer and music composer. He is best known for participating and emerging as the second runner-up in Indian Idol 1. However, it was since his participation in Salman Khan's hosted reality show Bigg Boss 14, which was held last year, that he started to make his way to the industry's headlines, either because of his stints inside the BB 14 house or because of the brewing of his love affair with television actress Disha Parmar at that time, such that he was even seen proposing to his ladylove on public media from inside the house.
As a response to the same, on this year's Valentine's Day, the actress herself, i.e. Disha, made her brief dramatic entry inside the house to attend the show's special episode and give her verdict on the same, by accepting his proposal. He was also noted for maintaining a no-nonsense amicable relationship with his other co-inmates inside the house, despite often being at logger-heads with BB 14's winner - Rubina Dilaik and her husband, Abhinav Shukla. His 'bro-code' bonding with co-inmate and buddy Aly Goni was also pretty prominent throughout the show.
Currently, Rahul Vaidya ranks 16th in Times Of India's 'Top 20 Most Desirable Men on Television' (in both 2020 and 2021).
However, not many know about Rahul's struggling ladder-ride to stardom as a commoner, who made his way into the glamour world as a participant in many reality shows and emerging as their first runners up as well. He did also win one of the show's he had participated in so far. However, Rahul's journey in this field had started-off since his childhood days itself.
