On his birthday today, let's talk about how he continues to rule Bollywood in his own quiet but powerful way. Rajkummar, known for his phenomenal acting chops, doesn't mind stepping back and letting his female co-stars shine. In Stree and its blockbuster sequel, the women (read ladiez) had the last laugh. In Badhaai Do, Bhumi Pednekar's character took centre stage. Even in Bareilly Ki Barfi, he left a solid impression without overshadowing Kriti Sanon. In Mr.& Mrs Maahi, he happily let his onscreen wife Janhvi Kapoor take the spotlight. Unlike the stereotypical hero, Rajkummar seems comfortable not being the loudest voice in the room. He lets his craft do the talking, and that's what makes him stand out. Yet, he has managed to emerge as a star in his own right. His ability to slip into any role, be it the vulnerable Trapped survivor, the ambitious Shahid, or the grey Maalik, has made him a favourite among audiences and critics alike. He shines not by screaming "look at me," but by simply being so good that you can't look away. At a time when many actors still fight for screen time and give women brief roles, Rajkummar Rao proves that sharing the spotlight can make you glow even brighter. That's the real 'Raj' he's doing in Bollywood! He's ruling hearts with talent, humility, and a rare willingness to let the story (and the women) lead the way. And that's what makes this birthday boy so special.
