New Delhi, May 14 || National Award-winning actor Rajkummar Rao revealed that he once considered taking up Science in the 11th grade, driven by family influence, but is now thankful that he didn’t go down that path.
Talking about if there is a “Bhool Chuk” that he made and is thankful for, Rajkummar told: “For some reason, in Class 11, I wanted to take Science because I think the atmosphere at home was like that my elder brother and even most of my cousins were science students.”
Rajkummar shared how he briefly considered Science due to peer influence, despite his passion for acting.
“But I was always into acting — I used to do stage performances, dance, martial arts — but it was just that everyone else was taking Science, so I thought I should too,” said the actor, who completed his 12th grade from S.N. Sidheshwar Senior. Sec Public School, where he participated in school plays.
The 40-year-old star expressed relief for not pursuing Science, as his true passion lies in acting.
“Thank God that didn’t happen. I had no interest in it, and there would have been pressure to study a lot. But when your interest lies elsewhere, it feels like you get stuck in something you don’t truly want," said the actor, who graduated from Delhi University, where he was simultaneously doing theatre with Kshitij Theatre Group and the Shri Ram Centre in Delhi.
