But, then something happened that changed the passion of this actor. She then dropped out of IIT and made acting her career, then played a character that has been etched in everyone’s heart. Let us tell you the complete story of this character today.
It is often said that an actor tries to live a character before playing it, but it is very rare that if a character becomes a character in reel life, then you can play it better. Something similar happened to the star who worked in the web series ‘Kota Factory’. Let us tell you who this star is…
Who is Ranjan Raj?
The star is Ranjan Raj, who has played great characters in the web series ‘Kota Factory’ as well as many films, but the role of Balmukund Meena in ‘Kota Factory’ gave him a new identity. The series was based on students who prepare to take admission in IITs. But you might not know that Ranjan, who played the role of child Mukund Meena, played the same character in real life too.
Dreamed of becoming an engineer to eradicate poverty
Ranjan Raj’s family’s financial condition was not very good, but he was very good in studies. In such a situation, he dreamed of removing the poverty of his family. During his schooling, someone told him that becoming an engineer is very good. An engineer earns well, so he also nurtured the dream of becoming an engineer. After this he started preparing to take admission in IIT.
Make your own arrangements for JEE preparation
During this time he needed coaching, but there was no money for coaching. If reports are to be believed, when Ranjan asked his family to coach, they said, son, we don’t have money to pay the coaching fee. Then Ranjan somehow managed to pay the coaching fee himself and cleared the JEE entrance exam as well. Now his dream was about to come true. He also got admission in IIT Bombay and started his studies.
After reaching IIT the passion changed
It’s very rare that people change their profession after getting admission in IITs, but that’s what happened to Ranjan. After reaching IIT, he realized that apart from studies, students also participate in other activities. He also started participating in some IIT plays and this furthered his inclination towards acting.
Dropped out of college in second year
When he reached his second year, he felt that he was not born to do engineering but to be an actor. Then what was the fashion that made him join IIT. With this passion, he dropped out of college in the second year and decided to pursue a career in acting.
