Guess what inspired Rajkumar Rao to become an actor?

From ‘Love Sex Aur Dhokha’, ‘D Day’ to ‘Kai Po Che’, Shahid’; actor Rajkumar Rao has not only come a long way in Bollywood but also has proved his credibility as an actor repeatedly. His spectacular performance in ‘Shahid’ even earned him a prestigious National Award. But did you know what first encouraged him to try his luck in acting? It is both surprising and sweet!

Becoming an actor was always in Rajkumar’s agenda. However, what fueled it even more was his family’s passion towards good cinema. He grew up in a joint family where watching 3-4 films in a row on every weekend was a norm. The entire family came together for this. That is how he was inclined towards his films. No wonder he makes such a perfect actor today!

On the professional front, the actor will next be seen in Hansal Mehta’s ‘Aligarh’ with Manoj Bajpayee.
