In a new interview, the actor shared how he decided to go shop for clothes for his school farewell from the flea market to save money while fulfiling his wish to look good as well.

“After class 10th, a farewell party happens. So, at that time, financially it was not that great, where I come from. But I wanted to look good. Also, I choreographed a song with my male friends. And, we performed. But I was like what to wear? So, I went to the Chor Bazaar in Delhi. I bought a jacket worth Rs 100, a chain of Rs 15, and I was prepared for my farewell party,” the HIT actor told Brut India.

In the same interview, the actor was shown his wedding picture where Patralekhaa is seen putting vermillion on his forehead during a ritual. Calling his wedding a “rage”, Rajkummar recalled how he made the impromptu decision of asking Patralekhaa put vermillion on his forehead too.

He shared, “It was very impromptu. I am a big feminist myself. I’ve been seeing all these Hindu weddings. When I was putting sindoor on Patralekhaa’s forehead, very impromptu, I thought, why not? So I asked her, ‘Put it on me as well’, and she did.”
