Rajkummar Rao Reveals How Once He Only Had 18 Rupees In His Bank Account To Survive

Rajkummar Rao is one of the most talented actors of Bollywood. From Shahid to Omerta, he has done some incredible, critically acclaimed work. He is currently busy promoting his upcoming movie, Made In China opposite Mouni Roy and Boman Irani.

Like everyone else, he came to Mumbai to fulfill his dreams of becoming an actor. He was aware of the hardships that this city had planned for him. In an interview with Pinkvilla, he spoke about his struggles and he revealed how he survived initially when he came to Mumbai in 2008.

“It used to be tough times for me. I come from a very humble middle-class background and there was a time in school when I didn’t have money and my teachers paid my school fees for two years. When I came to the city, we were living in a really small house. I was paying Rs 7000 of my share which I thought was too much. I needed around 15-20000 every month to survive and there were times I would get a notification that I have only 18 rupees left in my account. My friend would have 23 rupees,” revealed Rajkummar.
