Rajkummar Rao is undoubtedly one of the finest actors in Bollywood. The talented man has often proved his acting prowess by playing varied roles with utmost dedication. Not only has Rao won the audiences’ heart but he has also managed to impress critics with his brilliant performances. But did you know that the ‘Stree’ actor once dreamt of becoming a dancer?
Recently, the actor revealed that he had once auditioned for the popular show ‘Boogie Woogie’. However, he was rejected during the audition phase itself, reports Ahmedabad Mirror. Interestingly, Rao, who will appear as a guest on a dance reality show, left the judges impressed with his dancing skills recently.
Joined by Nushrratt Bharuccha and Nora Fatehi on the show, Rao set the stage on fire with his performance. The ‘Shahid’ actor was quoted saying by HT,
“Many years ago, when I was in class 11, I had come to Mumbai to audition for Boogie Woogie with my younger brother. But, I got rejected back then. It feels great to be here today, and witness such amazing performances. It was nice of the judges to give me 30 points for my performance with the contestants here.”
Malaika Arora, who is one of the judges on the show, said, “Raj is a closet dancer, but not many know that he is a fabulous dancer and I was fortunate to dance with him in a film. We did a song in the movie Dolly ki Doli, we came on the set and were rehearsing, Raj was around and all quiet. But the moment the song started playing, he went all out with his dance.”
Nushrratt added, “You should watch him at parties, if you play 90s Bollywood music, he dances really well to these songs.” Well, the actor is surely a man of many talents. Don’t you think so? Tell us!
