Rajkumar Rao entered the INR 600 crore club in Bollywood after Stree 2’s soaring success, but he is still not a billionaire. As Rao recently appeared on Unfiltered with Samdish’s YouTube channel, he said that he is not as rich as he is assumed to be.

On the show he said, “Yaar, honestly itna paisa hai nahi jitna logon ko lagta hoga ki ye toh bhai INR 100 crore. Itna nahi hai. Bhai, EMI chal rahi hai. Matlab ghar liya hua hai, uski EMI hai achhi khasi. Toh matlab aisa bhi nahi hai ki nahi hai. Par aise wala bhi nahi ki aaj mann kia ki showroom mein ja ke, ‘Kitne ki hai wo?’ ‘Sir, INR 6 crore ki.’ ‘De de.' (I don't have that much money. People would assume I have INR 100 crore. I don't have that much. I've been paying a hefty EMI for a house I bought. It's not like if I feel, I can visit a showroom and purchase a car worth INR 6 crore).” 

An actor’s overnight monetary success 

When asked if not INR 6 crore, would he like to buy a car worth INR 50 lakh? Rao replied, “INR 50 lakh ki, de de, but discussion hoga uspe. Ek second, le toh sakte hain, le le kya?” What he meant was that it is possible but there will still be a discussion whether it is required or not.

Rao also said while he would be slightly stressed about buying a car worth INR 50 lakh, however, he can conveniently buy one worth INR 20 lakh currently. The actor also expressed that it doesn't feel right when actors get too much money overnight because it messes with their heads.
