On Saturday 6th April, bollywood actor Rajkumar Rao was present at the Haryana Film Festival’s inaugural ceremony. He made an appraisal of the film festival for empowering budding stars in the film industry. He advised the gen-Z stars to pursue acting with full heart and honesty, if passionate. Rajkumar Rao was present at the event along with Haryana’s chief minister Nayab Singh Saini.
The actor also advised the young talents to follow their passion for acting with honesty and hard work. He attributed himself as an example to prove that working with passion for the art form leads to success in the film industry.
“If you have passion for acting, direction, camera, editing, sound, screenwriting and others, then follow it. If it is a hobby, then keep it like that. But if you genuinely want to pursue it then work with your full heart and honesty. Example is in front of you." said Rao.
Rajkumar Rao expressed few words of gratitude to Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini and extended his greetings to Maharshi Dayanand University for the success of the Haryana Film Festival, 2025.
Reflecting on his own journey, Rajkummar Rao shared that when he began, there were no such opportunities. He urged today’s youth to seize the moment and make the most of these incredible initiatives.
“While I was growing up there were no opportunities. Now, there are a lot of opportunities here. There is a lot of talent in the nation. Like the minister said, there is no need for the industry to go out; we have a lot of talent, and everyone is coming into our industry, and it’s true. I am from the industry and I know it.” Rao added.
