'I have been born and brought up in Gurgaon. During my childhood itself I had decided I wanted to be an actor and would go to Mumbai to try my luck as actor.
I was desparate to become a part of the film world and have struggled really hard to get where I am now.,'Rajkummar Rao told Mr Bachchan.
The actor told Mr Bachchan that during their first visit to Mumbai, they stood for hours outside Jalsa and Mannat , hoping to get just a single glimpse of Mr Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan.
' Though we did not clear Boogie Woogie auditions, we visited Jalsa and Mannat and stood outside these houses for hours to get a glimpse of Mr Amitabh and Mr Shahrukh Khan,'the actor said.

'I have been a filmy child since childhood. I was very small when I watched Agneepath in which Mr Bachchan dies in the end.. After watching the film I went to my room and began weeping profusely after hiding my face behind a pillow.
I thought Amitabh Bachchan had died. I was complaining to God how can Amitabh Bachchan die. I was literally howling. I was pacified only after my mother told me that it is not Amitabh Bachchan but the character played by him who has died.
'You have been a big contribution to my become an actor. It is after watching your films that I was inspired to be an actor,'the actor told Mr Bachchan.

Rao revealed that as a teenager he came to Mumbai for auditions of dance reality show Boogie Woogie with his brother.
'As a child, my family encouraged me to pursue my dreams. However, our financial condition was not such that could visit Mumbai for a vacation.
