During his second year of college, the 'Trapped' actor thought of making some extra pocket money and as a result, he picked up a job which he loved.

"I thought what should I do everybody making extra pocket money I was in second-year college? Then I thought let me do what I love so I just joined the school called KV public school in Gurgaon sector 14 - then I did 1 play for their annual day function. I was there for 3 months then I focused on myself and learnt," he added. Adding on why students love Rajkummar a lot he said, "Students love me because we were pretty much their age. There was not really age difference. So they treated me like a friend."
