When asked how he spent that money, the ‘Newton’ star said, “The first time when I received my first salary, I think it was six notes of 50. I was so happy because the financial situation at my house was not good in those days so I used my first salary to buy groceries.”
“And after buying everything, I was left with some money so I bought desi ghee. It was a big deal for us to have ghee on our rotis,” Rao added.
