During a recent promotional outing for his film ‘Stree 2’, with co-star Shraddha Kapoor, on Indian comedian Zakir Khan’s new TV show ‘Aapka Apna Zakir’, actor Rajkummar Rao, who comes from a humble background, with his father being a government employee in the Haryana revenue department, disclosed that his first paycheck was INR300, while he was still in high school.
“I was in high school when I used to go teach dance to a seven-year-old girl at her house. I used to get INR300 for training her,” he shared.
When asked how he spent that money, the ‘Newton’ star said, “The first time when I received my first salary, I think it was six notes of 50. I was so happy because the financial situation at my house was not good in those days so I used my first salary to buy groceries.”
“And after buying everything, I was left with some money so I bought desi ghee. It was a big deal for us to have ghee on our rotis,” Rao added.
