Rajkummar Rao Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan
Rao, known for his stellar performances in films like "Newton" and "Stree," has never shied away from expressing his admiration for the King Khan of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan. For Rao, SRK is not just a superstar but a beacon of wisdom and inspiration. It was during a candid conversation that Shah Rukh imparted a valuable lesson to Rao, one that transcends the realms of cinema and delves into the domain of life's philosophy.
"Shah Rukh sir had taught me one thing, 'Beta kabhi bhi ghar lega na, toh aukaat se thoda zyada lena. Kyunki phir na, upar wala bhi dekhta hai aur tu khud bhi zyada mehnat karega,'" Rao shared with Mashable. The essence of SRK's advice resonated deeply with Rao, urging him to aspire for more, to stretch beyond his comfort zone, and in doing so, to fuel his drive for success.
The recent acquisition of a lavish Rs 44 crore property in Mumbai, formerly owned by Janhvi Kapoor, is a testament to Rao's adherence to Shah Rukh's sagacious counsel. Alongside his partner Patralekhaa, Rao has embraced this new chapter with enthusiasm and gratitude, acknowledging the privilege of owning a piece of the dream city. "Having a home in Mumbai is a dream, and Patralekhaa and I have built it with love," Rao expressed, reflecting on the significance of this milestone.
The allure of Mumbai, with its bustling streets and towering skyscrapers, has always beckoned aspiring artists from across the country. It is a city where dreams are woven into the fabric of reality, where aspirations take flight amidst the glittering lights of Bollywood. For Rao, Mumbai symbolizes not just a geographical location but a canvas brimming with infinite possibilities, a place where dreams are nurtured and destinies are crafted.
As Rao prepares for the release of his upcoming film "Srikanth," slated to hit theatres on May 10, 2024, he remains steadfast in his commitment to excellence. Directed by Tushar Hirananandi, the film promises to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative and stellar ensemble cast, including Jyothika, Sharad Kelkar, and Alaya F.
Following "Srikanth," Rao will grace the silver screen once again alongside Janhvi Kapoor in Sharan Sharma's "Mr. & Mrs. Mahi," scheduled for release on May 31, 2024. With each project, Rao continues to carve his niche in the annals of Bollywood, his journey illuminated by the guiding light of his idol, Shah Rukh Khan.
In a world where success is often measured by material possessions, Shah Rukh Khan's wisdom transcends the confines of wealth, reminding us that true prosperity lies in the pursuit of our passions and the perseverance to surpass our limitations. Through his words and actions, Khan continues to inspire a generation of dreamers, guiding them towards a future illuminated by hope, ambition, and unwavering determination. And for Rajkummar Rao, the journey towards greatness has only just begun, fueled by the timeless wisdom of his mentor, Shah Rukh Khan.
