Rajkummar Rao has opened up on the struggles he had to brave before he made it big in Bollywood. The Made in China actor, considered among the most talented in the Hindi film industry, said in an interview to Pinkvilla that there were times when he would have only Rs 18 in his account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt 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\u2019t have money and my teachers paid my school fees for two years,\u201d the actor said, adding, \u201cWhen 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With little to survive on, Rajkummar would have nothing to even eat. \u201cThere\u2019s a friend of mine Vinod – who\u2019s also an actor and we used to travel for auditions on our bikes. I knew nothing about the presentation of how to look, what to wear. With the pollution around, we would just get down and clean other\u2019s face with rose water and think that it\u2019s the best version of ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
