During a conversation with Ranveer Allahabadia, Rao revealed that in the absence of steady work, he often skipped lunch, surviving on a simple meal of a packet of Parle G biscuits and a Frooti, which cost only
94 at the time.

9300, which he used to buy groceries for his family.
These anecdotes highlight the actor’s perseverance and the foundational support from his mother that helped him navigate hardships and pursue his passion for acting.
