New Delhi:
Rajkummar Rao recently took part in an open chat about his first salary. In the latest episode of Aapka Apna Zakir, Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao were asked about their first salaries. Shraddha Kapoor, who was quick to respond, said, “My parents sent me to America with a lot of love. But since they wanted to keep me grounded, they kept me on a budget with very limited pocket money. However, they said that if I wanted more money, I could earn it myself. My father asked me to get a job there, so I applied at a coffee shop. I got the job. My first paycheck was for $40.” She then guiltily said, “I spent it on food.” Rajkummar Rao said, “I was in high school when I used to give dance lessons to a 7-year-old girl at her house. I used to earn Rs 300 for training her. The first time I got my first salary, I think it was six 50-rupee notes.” I was very happy because the financial situation of my house was not good at that time.”
He further added, “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.”
On the work front, Rajkummar Rao was last seen in Srikanth’s film Mr and Mrs Mahi, both of which released in May. Meanwhile, Shraddha Kapoor was last seen in the film Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar alongside Ranbir Kapoor. Shraddha and Rajkummar Rao will now be seen in Stree 2. The film is slated to release on Independence Day with its first screening premiering on the evening of August 14.
