<p>"See the name of my show is 'Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega'. The title itself says that I will take my bride home. I will definitely marry. In fact, the finale of the show will show my wedding only," Rahul told IANS at Udaipur's Fatehgarh Palace, where the show is being shot amid a lavish set.<br /><br />Rahul, son of late Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pramod Mahajan, will begin his quest for a bride on TV starting Monday. He will choose from a total of 15 women who were selected after much scrutiny from over 16,000 applicants from across the country.<br />Among these, around seven are associated with the glamour industry in one form or the other. There are also small-time news anchors, models, directors, a law student, a BJP activist and an undergraduate student.<br /><br />Asked about his choice of women from the media sector, Rahul joked: "Maybe they have been watching me a lot."<br /><br />"Seriously, I think there are girls from all facets of life - whether from human resource management, fashion designing, media professionals or whatever. I think we have picked up different women from various fields and sections of society," he added.<br />Rahul says he is looking for three qualities in a woman - "honesty, genuineness and a sense of humour". And the biggest put-offs for him are dishonesty and melodrama.<br />"I think everyone should be happy all the time. I want my wife also to be happy all the time; what else does one want?" he said.<br /><br />According to Rahul, who had a broken marriage with his childhood friend Shweta Singh, says if his father would have been alive, he would have been proud about Rahul's decision of remarrying.<br /><br />"My father had a wish that I should get married, go on a honeymoon, have kids. He wanted to have a grandchild - it would have made him happy; so in a way I am trying to fulfil his wish. He would have been proud," he said.<br /><br />But then why did he have to launch a national search for a bride on television?<br />"Did the media feel like leaving me alone when I got married first or at the time I was facing problems? Did the media ever leave my private life? In the past three years I have not got any privacy. Since 2006, the media has been covering every activity of mine. So whenever I marry next, it will go live - I know it.<br /><br />"The only difference now with this show would be that it would be shown on a single channel, unlike before when all news channels would have got the footage," he said.<br />"Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega" will air at 8 p.m. Monday to Friday.<br /></p>
