18 rupees were left and could not even eat food that day: Rajkumar


Today Rajkumar's film 'Srikanth' has been released in theatres. The story of the film is based on the life of blind Indian businessman Shrikant Bola. Rajkumar has played the character of Srikanth. Actress Jyotika, who was recently seen in the film 'Shaitan', has also acted. In an interview with a social media influencer, Rajkumar talked about his initial struggles. The actor said, 'That was the most difficult time, when there was financial crisis and there was no work. During this period, mother supported me a lot. When I ran out of money, she would make arrangements and send it to me. Once I had only Rs 18 left in my account and that too in a city like Mumbai. Because of this, I was not able to eat lunch in the afternoon, so I had to survive by eating Parle ji and drinking Frooti. Rajkumar further said that 'Friends of FTII also helped in this bad time. He further said, 'When the money ran out, I was wondering what to do next. I remember there was a committee in FTII Mumbai. Many seniors and juniors were also present with him.

If someone like me was in this situation, he could call someone on the committee and ask them what was going on at the dinner that night. And could go there and eat. I did the same at that time also. I started training to become an actor after school. After school I joined Shri Ram Centre, an acting school in Delhi. At that time I was 18 years old. At the same time I graduated from Atmaram College.
