Rajkummar
Rao
is
a
bonafide
star
today.
But
there
were
times
when
he
didn't
have
money
to
eat.
He
recounted
this
and
more
in
a
recent
conversation
with
Pinkvilla.
"FTII
is
a
really
big
community.
Sometimes,
we
used
to
borrow
money.
And
other
times,
we
would
just
go
to
their
houses
and
share
their
meal
sometimes.
I
didn't
have
enough
money
to
even
buy
proper
T-shirts.
There's
a
friend
of
mine
-
Vinod
-
who's
also
an
actor
and
we
used
to
travel
for
auditions
on
our
bikes.
I
knew
nothing
about
the
presentation
-
of
how
to
look,
what
to
wear.
With
the
pollution
around,
we
would
just
get
down
and
clean
other's
face
with
rose
water
and
think
that
it's
the
best
version
of
ourselves,"
he
was
quoted
as
saying.
He
further
added,
"It
used
to
be
tough
times
for
me.
I
come
from
a
very
humble
middle
class
background
and
there
was
a
time
in
school
when
I
didn't
have
money
and
my
teachers
paid
my
school
fees
for
two
years.
When
I
came
to
the
city,
we
were
living
in
a
really
small
house.
I
was
paying
Rs
7000
of
my
share
which
I
thought
was
too
much.
I
needed
around
15-20000
every
month
to
survive
and
there
were
times
I
would
get
a
notification
that
I
have
only
18
rupees
left
in
my
account.
My
friend
would
have
23
rupees."
But
all
that
is
a
thing
of
the
past,
we
must
say.
Rajkummar
Rao
is
looking
forward
to
the
release
of
'Made
In
China',
set
to
hit
theatrical
screens
on
October
25.
Mouni
Roy
plays
the
female
lead
in
the
film.
The
comedy-drama
sees
Rajkummar
Rao
as
a
middle-aged
failed
Gujarati
businessman,
who
embarks
on
a
trip
to
China
in
a
bid
to
reverse
his
fortunes.
It
is
set
for
a
box
office
clash
with
Akshay
Kumar's
Housefull
4.
So,
do
you
think
Made
In
China
will
be
able
to
hold
its
own
against
the
mighty
Housefull
4?
Let
us
