Born on June 13, 1984 in Gurgaon, Gurugram district, India, Rajkummar Rao is a film actor. That puts Rajkummar Rao at 42 years old in 2026. Education on record includes University of Delhi. Recorded honors include Filmfare Awards and National Film Award for Best Actor. The listed height is 178 cm.
My Take
Rajkummar Rao is the rare actor who treats genre as a playground rather than a cage. A National Film Award, multiple Filmfare wins, and over thirty films spanning indie character studies and crowd-pleasers like Stree: that breadth tells me he chases the role, not the spotlight. Hindi cinema is often caricatured abroad as song and spectacle, but Rao keeps reminding everyone that the bedrock is performance. What interests me most is his discipline; he disappears into ordinary, flawed men and makes them magnetic. I see a patient, ambitious craftsman who has built a career on substance, and I suspect his best work is still ahead.
