New Delhi:
Rajkummar Rao took the recently opened debate about his first salary. In the latest episode of Aapka Apna Zakir, Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao were asked about their first salaries. Shraddha Kapoor, who was quick to respond, said, “My parents sent me to America with a lot of love. But because they wanted to keep me grounded, they kept me on a budget with very limited pocket money. However, they said if I wanted more money I could earn it myself. My father asked me to apply for a job there, so I applied for it in a coffee shop. I booked the job. My first check was $40.” Then he said guiltily, “I spent it on food.” Rajkummar Rao said, “I was in high school when I went to teach dance to a 7-year-old girl at her home. I got 300 rupees for training her. The first time I got my first salary , I think it was six rupees 50. I was so happy because the financial situation of my house was not good at that time.”
He further added, “I used my first salary to buy groceries. And when I bought everything, I had little money left, so I bought desi ghee. It was a big deal for us to have ghee on our rotis.”
On the work front, Rajkummar Rao was last seen in Srikanth and Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, both of which released in May. Meanwhile, Shraddha Kapoor was last seen in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar alongside Ranbir Kapoor. Both Shraddha and Rajkummar Rao will now be seen in Stree 2. The film is slated to release on Independence Day and will have its first screening on August 14.
