Rajkummar Rao opens up on his struggle days and recalls when he was left with only Rs 18 in his bank account. Read to know how he survived the difficult period.
Rajkummar Rao is an example of how you can make it big in the industry despite being an outsider. The talented actor has been in Bollywood for almost 15 years now, and in these years, he has carved a niche for himself by doing back-to-back strong performances.
However, the journey has been full of struggles! Rajkummar, who is all set to be seen in the biographical film Srikanth, recently opened up about surviving an extremely tough time during his initial days in the industry.
Rajkummar Rao talks about his struggling days
During a recent interview with Ranveer Allahabdia, Rajkummar Rao shared that there was a time during his struggle days when he was left with only Rs 18 in his bank account. In a city like Mumbai, when you are looking for work in Bollywood, having such a low bank account can break anyone's spirit, but the actor kept on going. He also shared that he used to skip his lunch because of the lack of money and survived on biscuits and a small bottle of mango drink.
The actor credits his mom for helping him during his tough time and said that whenever he lacked money, she would arrange it for him. He also recalled getting help from his FTII batchmates, who often came to his rescue when he didn't have anything to eat.
