MUMBAI: Today marks the third anniversary of Badhaai Do, one of Rajkummar Rao’s most beloved and critically lauded films. Tackling LGBTQ+ themes with both humour and sensitivity, it became yet another testament to the actor’s ability to choose roles that matter. But more than that, Badhaai Do serves as a reminder of how much Rajkummar has evolved as an actor over the years.
His journey in Bollywood has been nothing short of remarkable. From Shahid to Newton, he has built a career on impeccable performances, constantly reinventing himself.

In Badhaai Do, he delivered a truly standout performance as a police officer, blending humour with raw emotion. The character was more than just a role—it was a complex portrayal of a man grappling with societal pressures while attempting to live his truth. Rajkummar’s nuanced portrayal was one of the film’s highlights, helping to elevate a narrative that was already rich with heart. His work here solidified his place among the finest actors of his generation.
As Badhaai Do celebrates its third anniversary, it offers the perfect opportunity to reflect on Rajkummar’s impressive trajectory. He continues to push boundaries, making us root for him with each new role, and leaving us eagerly awaiting what comes next in his already stellar career.
