Actor Rajesh Kumar Leaves Acting for Farming, Faces Rs 2 Crore Debt After Setbacks
Actor Rajesh Kumar, known for his role in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, left acting in 2017 to pursue farming in his hometown Gaya, Bihar, inspired by spiritual leader Sadhguru's message encouraging youth to transform agriculture. Over five years, Kumar faced challenges including floods, the COVID-19 pandemic, and water scarcity, leading to a debt of around Rs 2 crore. Despite setbacks, he views his journey as a learning experience rather than failure and remains connected to Sadhguru's teachings and the Isha Foundation.
