Struggle is a part of actors who start their lives from scratch. Sometimes, one decision can change a person’s life forever. One such TV actor made a decision to become a farmer. However, things didn’t go the way he planned to. The actor had taken so much debt that it was becoming challenging to repay it. What’s unfortunate is his friends started ignoring his calls during these trial times.
The actor, who has worked in a popular sitcom, revealed that he had a debt of Rs 1.5 crore when he decided to be a party. His friends and family invested their entire years in his journey. This actor recalls it being one of the most difficult phases of his life. He was answerable to people who lent him money, which included his wife, family, and some farmers.
The actor we are talking about is . He’s known for playing the character Rosesh Sarabhai in the show Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai. In an interaction with Siddharth Kannan, Rajesh revealed that he had to sell vegetables outside his son’s school to make ends meet. The actor also tried his luck by applying for Shark Tank India. But things didn’t work in his favour.
Rajesh Kumar revealed, “I had applied for Shark Tank India. I had cleared two out of three rounds. You also had to submit your videos, so I thought I might get a favour because I am a known face. That here is an actor who is a social entrepreneur talking about agriculture. My presentation was in Kolkata and it was wrapped within a day. My father paid for the tickets.”
However, life changed for Rajesh Kumar with just one phone call. He got a call from the team of Haddi, who wanted him to be a part of their show. When he met the team, his confidence was shaken and he was also told the director would meet him. The actor thought he would have to audition for the show, but that didn’t happen. “I was like, but what about my audition? He said we just want you on board. The director just had one request: if I could shave my head. I said I can, if you pay me one lakh extra, and he did,” revealed the Sarabhau Vs. Sarabhai star.
