mobanmarketActor Rajkummar Rao says he immersed himself in work after the demise of his parents because that was the only way he could cope with the loss.
###
Rao lost his father Satyapal Yadav in September this year. The actor’s mother died while he was shooting for the 2017 film, ‘Newton’.
###
“Me being an actor gave them the most amount of happiness. I know they would’ve told me that work is important and ‘go and finish your work’,” Rao said.
###
“Work was the only way I could keep myself out of it. I am glad I could show ‘Made In China’ trailer to my dad when he was in the hospital,” he added.
###
Talking about his father, Rao said: “My father taught me honesty. He was the most honest government official I have ever seen. He was at a post where could have made so much of money. He stuck to his honesty.”
###
He opened up about losing his parents when he appeared on chat show ‘By Invite Only’, which airs on Zoom.
###
The actor also busted the audition myth in the industry, saying: “There are actors who feel they can’t perform that well in auditions. Sometimes it’s a matter of ego, like ‘how can you audition me?’.”
