The actor stars in\u00a0\u2018Bareilly Ki Barfi\u2019 and the film has garnered not only a critically positive response for the star\u2019s performance, but an altogether different kind of response on social media.<\/p>\n
“Many girls have also reached out to me on Twitter and Instagram telling me I’m “sweet” and some are even asking me to marry them,” he revealed in a recent interview.<\/p>\n
Rao, who is in a relationship with Patralekha Mishra Paul, was asked if marriage was on the cards any time soon.<\/p>\n
“Not right now, but it will happen eventually. At the moment, we’re both focussed on our careers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The actor has climbed up the Bollywood ladder with riveting performances in recent times and even taking home a National Film Award for Best Actor for his spot in \u2018Shahid\u2019, but it wasn\u2019t always as smooth for the 32-year-old.<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing back four or five years, I can definitely recall a couple of incidents where people told me, \u2018We can\u2019t cast you for the lead role; we\u2019d rather take you for some other part.\u2019 I think that\u2019s because they all try and play safe and be secure, because the [financial] risk is really big when it comes to filmmaking,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Well, you\u2019re definitely a money-maker now, Mr. Rao!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
