Further talking about it, Rajkummar Rao revealed he had bought groceries with the money and expressed the feeling that he felt after giving the groceries to his mom. Sharing it, he said, “When I earned my first 300, I bought groceries for home with that. I bought everything in small quantities, things like dal, rice, sugar. Then, I went home and gave it (to my parents). That feeling won’t come back no matter how much you do or earn in life. You can gift whatever you want to anyone but giving that stuff worth ₹300 to my mother was a great feeling.”
