Rajkummar Rao talks about his financial situation: ‘EMI chal rahi hai...’

Rajkummar Rao’s candid remarks about his financial situation have resurfaced, sparking conversations about the realities of wealth in Bollywood.

In an old interview with Samdish Bhatia on UNFILTERED by Samdish, the actor opened up about his earnings and financial commitments, revealing that his wealth is often overestimated.

Rajkummar explained that while he is financially stable, he does not have the kind of money where he can make extravagant purchases without consideration. He mentioned that he has ongoing EMI commitments, especially after purchasing a house, and he carefully evaluates big-ticket expenses.


"Yaar, itna paisa hai nahi jitna I am sure logon ko lagta hoga. Ke bhai, iska toh bohot paisa hai, sau crore. Nahi hai itna. Bhai, EMI chal rahi hai, ghar liya hai, uski EMI chal rahi hai achha khaasa. Toh matlab, aisa bhi nahi hai ki bilkul nahi hai, aur aisa bhi nahi hai ki bohot hai. Aisa nahi hai ki aaj mann kiya toh showroom mein jaake, ‘Kitne ki hai ye?’—‘Woh sir, 6 crore ki’—‘De de.’ Aisa wala nahi hai," he said.


The actor noted that he is not in a position to buy something worth Rs 6 crores on impulse, but for a Rs 50 lakh purchase, he would have a discussion before making a decision.

Despite being a successful actor, Rajkummar highlighted the financial responsibility that comes with success. He emphasized that, unlike popular perception, not all Bollywood actors have hundreds of crores at their disposal. His honesty about budgeting and financial planning resonated with many, offering a grounded perspective on financial stability in the film industry.
