The actor also said that people mocking his simplicity or struggles reflect more on them than on him. “I do my work with honesty and modesty. I have some legal matters to pay for, and these are not from today, they are from before the brain stroke happened. If you mock my simplicity or make fun of my struggles, it says less about me and more about you,” read the more shared by Rahul.
“If you are truly so concerned, then help me find some genuine and decent work so I can pay for these cases. At least I am earning through hard work, not by mocking others. And after the brain stroke, it is important for me to stay active,” he further wrote.
The actor further added, “I want to work for as long as I am alive. It keeps my mind active and gives me the sense of purpose and responsibility that I am still working today. Yes, it may hurt a little sometimes, but you cannot break me.”
The actor’s note reflected both vulnerability and a desire to keep going, come what may.
