Rakshit
Shetty
who
was
busy
shooting
for
777
Charlie
is
currently
homebound
like
the
rest
of
us
due
to
the
COVID-19
lockdown.
However,
the
Kirik
Party
and
Avane
Srimannarayana
star,
in
a
recent
interview
with
the
Metrolife
revealed
his
childhood
memories
that
paved
the
way
to
his
career
as
an
actor
and
a
storyteller.
Rakshit
was
quoted
as
saying,
“Our
teachers
would
write
plays
and
make
us
participate
in
competitions.
I
started
doing
theatre
when
I
was
in
my
third
standard.
My
sister
was
three
years
senior
to
me
at
school,
and
any
younger
roles
in
the
plays
she
was
in
would
be
given
to
me.
Studies
always
took
a
backseat.
We
used
to
wait
for
the
rehearsals.”
He
went
on
to
add,
“My
brother
would
get
film
magazines.
He
would
tell
me
stories
about
how
actors
got
to
wear
several
outfits
during
a
song
sequence
and
got
to
take
them
all
home.
My
mother
and
he
would
make
me
participate
in
fancy
dress
and
other
competitions
in
Udupi
and
Mangaluru.
As
a
kid,
I
won
several
trophies.
My
friends
and
I
continued
theatre
as
a
group.”
The
36-year-old
then
went
on
to
reveal
the
moments
from
his
college
life
that
inspired
the
script
of
Kirik
Party.
“The
first
few
days,
I
used
to
be
a
day
scholar,
but
within
three
months
of
the
course,
I
moved
to
the
hostel.
This
is
when
the
real
fun
began.
My
most
favorite
time
there
was
the
evening
when
the
entire
batch
would
sit
in
the
corridor
and
sing
and
play
instruments;
I
used
to
sing.
I
got
into
a
lot
of
trouble
too,
but
since
I
was
the
batch
representative
during
my
first
year,
I
also
enjoyed
privileges
other
students
didn’t.”
