Bollywood’s versatile actor Rajkummar Rao, who is currently on a promotional spree for his upcoming film ‘Srikanth’, got candid about his struggle days in Mumbai. In an interview, he recalled surviving on Parle G and Frooti as his lunch to save money. Rajkummar Rao made his acting debut in Dibakar Banerjee’s ‘Love Sex aur Dhokha’ in 2010. Over the years he has been credited with movies like ‘Stee’, ‘Queen’, ‘Aligarh’, ‘Newton’, and ‘Monica, O My Darling’ to name a few. 

Speaking to Ranveer Allahbadia, Rajkummar shared, “The most difficult time was facing financial difficulty and getting no work. My mother supported me a lot and when I would run out of money, she would arrange it and send. I remember once I was left with only Rs 18 in my account and that too in a city like Mumbai. I used to spend very frugally. We three used to live in one flat and I used to skip lunch and have one Parle G and Frooti for lunch. My lunch would cost me Rs 4 at the time.”
