EXCLUSIVE: Rajkummar Rao lauds Ranbir Kapoor and Yash to keep mystery around them alive: ‘If I’m available easily…’

Rajkummar Rao, preparing for the release of Maalik this weekend, emphasized the value of enigma surrounding Superstars. In an exclusive chat with TopMob, the actor looked back at his younger years when he eagerly anticipated films and felt thrilled upon learning about their updates in magazines. He fondly remembered his longing to watch Shah Rukh Khan’s movies.

The actor from Bhool Chuk Maaf noted that social media has erased the mystery surrounding celebrities and their lives. Rajkummar Rao remarked, “There’s no mystery left now. Everyone puts it all out on social media.” He then began mimicking a typical social media post, saying, “Good morning everyone, just woke up, having this for breakfast, what a beautiful day!

Rajkummar Rao appreciates Ranbir Kapoor and Yash for keeping mystery alive

Rajkummar Rao stated that only a select few possess the skill to create an enigma around themselves, and he commended Ranbir Kapoor and Yash for maintaining a low profile on social media. He expressed, “Right now, I feel that mystery is missing, which I believe Ranbir is doing exceptionally well in preserving. Yes, he has maintained that air of mystery quite effectively.

Additionally, the actor commented that many Southern actors have chosen to keep an air of mystery about themselves. He praised Yash, saying, “It’s intriguing and commendable that he too has maintained this enigma.

In an upcoming film called “Maalik,” Rajkummar Rao plans to portray a gangster character. He emphasized that actors should primarily be recognized for their performances rather than their personal lives, stating, “Actors are supposed to be recognized by their work, not by ‘what’s inside their home.’

He also reminisced about his youthful years and shared that he often pondered what it must be like inside Shah Rukh Khan’s bungalow, Mannat. “We couldn’t help but wonder, what’s going on within the walls of Mannat. Such mystery is essential for any artist. If I were easily accessible to everyone, they might think I just sit here and watch, then what would be left to do but watch me perform on stage.

Previously, we pondered over what it’d be like to know Mannat intimately, making this a significant curiosity for artists. However, if I am accessible to all, people might perceive me as seeing them regularly, which undermines the purpose of watching him on stage in theaters.
