In today’s episode of Figuring Out, we have Actor RajKummar Rao in conversation with Raj Shamani. He has done 3 blockbuster movies back to back. His top movies are ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi,’ ‘Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana,’ and ‘Stree.’ In this episode, we talked about his favorite movies that he acted in, about his childhood stories and how his childhood shaped him as a person and directed him towards his dreams. He then shared his school love story and how he got beaten up for a girl. Then we talked about his relationship with his Mom and Dad, what made him interested in becoming an actor, what is his definition of a great artist, and why characters like Dev Das and Kabir Singh are glorified. Towards the end, we talked about how he got his first film, how his career gradually took off, his thoughts on Shah Rukh Khan and how he met Patralekha. He shared his memories with Patralekha, crazy things he did and what are some regrets he has since he lost his parents. We ended our conversation by talking about what success means to him and what his next goal is. For such insightful conversations, subscribe to our channel now!
