Rajkummar Rao explains why he looks up to Shah Rukh Khan

Rajkummar Rao is one of the most talented actors in the industry and there’s no doubting the fact. His performances across the last few years, in particular, have established him as one of the top stars in the industry.

In a recent interview, Rao revealed that his biggest inspiration was none other than Shah Rukh Khan. The actor said, “I love Shah Rukh sir. I am an actor because of him. While growing up in Gurgaon, I used to mimic him. I was so fond of him that when I came to Mumbai for the first time in class XI, I went to Bandra and stood outside Mannat (SRK’s home) for hours, hoping to get a glimpse of him. When I became an actor, I got a golden opportunity to meet him at his house. Of course, I have met him several times after that. He is one of the most charming people I have ever met. He makes you feel so special and whoever has met him can vouch for that. Beyond the fact that I love him as an actor, he is a great human being.”

Rajkummar Rao will next be seen in Anurag Basu’s Ludo which will be available to stream on November 12.
