Rajkummar Rao Talks About His Support System And More

Rajkummar Rao is one of the nicest actors you can hope to meet. He's so easygoing and humble that you actually want to tell him to put on some starry airs. The most likeable quality about him is that, despite his success, he's still a student of cinema. Most actors are mostly full of themselves, but he's always generous in his praise of fellow actors and directors. Family is the most important thing for him. He'd rather gift them quality time than shower them with baubles. As an actor, he believes in taking risks, and most of those risks have paid off. Whether it was playing a cad in LSD, a concerned journalist in Aligarh or a gay cop in his most recent release, Badhaai Do, he has completely immersed himself in his character. In this emotional chat, he reveals how important it is for actors, who lead insecure lives, to have a steady support system. He's thankful to have found it at different phases of his life and is grateful to the universe for that.
