Rajkummar Rao is a versatile actor known for his ability to tackle a wide range of roles and genres. His success in the film industry can be attributed, in large part, to his wise choice of diverse and flexible screenplays. That being said, the actor didn’t have a film background and was only armed with sheer hard work and determination to make it big. On this birthday (August 31), we look at some of the struggles he encountered in his initial days that will humble even the most privileged souls.
Rajkummar Rao recalls surviving on Parle G and Frooti
Speaking to Ranveer Allahbadia, Rajkummar shared, “The most difficult time was facing financial difficulty and getting no work. My mother supported me a lot and when I would run out of money, she would arrange it and send it. I remember once I was left with only Rs 18 in my account and that too in a city like Mumbai. I used to spend very frugally. We three used to live in one flat and I used to skip lunch and have one Parle G and Frooti for lunch. My lunch would cost me Rs 4 at the time.”
