Despite his recent success in Bollywood, Rajkummar Rao has clarified that he is not as wealthy as many assume. The actor, who scored a place in the Rs 600 crore club with Stree 2, candidly discussed his finances on the YouTube channel Unfiltered with Samdish.
Rajkummar Rao REACTS to his wealth assumptions, says he isn’t as rich as assumed to be: “I’ve been paying a hefty EMI for a house I bought”Rajkummar Rao REACTS to the Misconception of Wealth
In the interview, Rajkummar expressed surprise at the assumptions people make about his financial status. He stated, “Yaar, honestly itna paisa hai nahi jitna logon ko lagta hoga ki ye toh bhai Rs 100 crore. Itna nahi hai. Bhai, EMI chal rahi hai. Matlab ghar liya hua hai, uski EMI hai achhi khasi.”
This revelation underscores the reality that financial responsibilities persist even for successful actors. He continued, explaining that although he does have financial means, the reality is far from the perception. “Toh matlab aisa bhi nahi hai ki nahi hai. Par aise wala bhi nahi ki aaj mann kia ki showroom mein ja ke, ‘Kitne ki hai wo?’ ‘Sir, Rs 6 crore ki.’ ‘De de'."
When asked about purchasing luxury items, Rajkummar was realistic about his spending capacity. He humorously noted that while he could potentially buy a car worth ₹50 lakh, it would require serious consideration: “Rs 50 lakh ki, de de, but discussion hoga uspe. Ek second, le toh sakte hain, le le kya?”
He emphasized that a car in that price range would bring him stress, indicating a more prudent approach to financial decisions. On the other hand, he confirmed that he could comfortably purchase a vehicle worth Rs 20 lakh.
Rajkummar also touched on the psychological effects of sudden wealth among actors, noting that it can create a disconnect from reality. He mentioned, “It doesn't feel right when actors get too much money overnight because it messes with their psyche.”
