Sarabhai vs Sarabhai actor Rajesh Kumar ‘hoped’ his career would take a flight after SOTY 2: ‘But usme kainchi aisi chali…’

He continued, “I had umeed but jis tarike se jitna shoot hua tha aur jitna dikha usme zameen asmaan ka farq tha. So, it didn’t get noticed too much. Shoot kaafi hua tha. Aap agar kisi bhi film ke schedule mein agar 15-16 din shoot kar rahe hot toh role is important enough. Whether aapka presence ho ya fir aapko dialogues mile ho ya fir aapke scenes ho but usme kainchi aisi chali ki, bas crew cut baal hi bacha tha.” (I had hopes. But the way the shoot happened and how it came out, there was a vast difference in it. So, I didn’t get noticed too much. The shoot was extensive. If you are shooting for 15 or 16 days for a film, it means your role is important enough. Whether your presence is there, or you have dialogues, or you have scenes. But the editing scissors worked in such a way that only crew-cut hair was left.)

Earlier, Rajesh had opened up about taking farming after getting tired of the show business. However, he ended up losing his life savings within a few years and went bankrupt because of the decision.

Student Of The Year 2 starred Tara Sutaria, Ananya Panday and Tiger Shroff in lead roles. Rajesh was also a part of shows like  Mrs & Mr Sharma Allahabadwale and Baa, Bahu Aur Baby.
