Rajkummar Rao Says He Is Not As Rich As People Assume Him To Be: 'Ghar Ki EMI Hai Acchi Khaasi...'

Rajkummar Rao is currently basking in the success of delivering two back-to-back movies that performed well at the box office. While his latest release Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video released over the weekend, his previous release – Stree 2 – broke records at the box office and crossed the Rs 600 crore mark. In a recent interview, the actor revealed that despite these successes, he is not as rich as people assume him to be.

In a conversation with Samdish Bhatia on his YouTube channel, Rajkummar Rao opened up and revealed that he is not as rich as other actors in Bollywood. Further explaining, he mentioned that he could not step into a showroom and instantly purchase a car worth Rs 6 crore. He added that he is still paying the EMI for his house. The actor said, “Yaar, honestly itna paisa hai nahi jitna logon ko lagta hoga ki ye toh bhai Rs 100 crore hai. Itna nahi hai. Bhai, EMI chal rahi hai. Matlab ghar liya hua hai, uski EMI hai achhi khasi. Toh matlab aisa bhi nahi hai ki nahi hai. Par aise wala bhi nahi ki aaj mann kiya ki showroom mein ja ke, ‘Kitne ki hai wo?’ ‘Sir, Rs 6 crore ki.’ ‘De de.’ (I don’t have that much money. People would assume I have Rs 100 crore. I don’t have that much. I’ve been paying a hefty EMI for a house I bought. It’s not like if I feel, I can visit a showroom and purchase a car worth Rs 6 crore)”

Rao mentioned that while he can afford to buy a car worth Rs 50 lakh, it will happen only after a serious discussion. He stated that at this point, he can conveniently buy a Rs 20 lakh car. He also mentioned that earning a lot of money in one go can also mess with the psyche of the person. The actor continued, “Rs 50 lakh ki, de de, but discussion hoga uspe. Ek second, le toh sakte hain, le le kya?”

Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is currently going steady at the box office. Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, the movie revolves around a couple who loses their intimate video which they had recorded on their honeymoon. The sex comedy also stars Triptii Dimri, Mallika Sherawat, and Vijay Raaz in key roles. On the work front, the actor will be next seen in Malik where he will be seen performing action sequences for the first time.
