Mumbai: Actor Rajkummar Rao says he always feels like an actor and not a "hero", a term he prefers should be reserved for Army people fighting at the border.
Rao says he has never tried to be a hero nor does he understand what it means.
"I don't know how a hero feels, honestly. I feel like an actor, I wanted to be an actor. I always want to feel just like an actor."
He added saying, "I don't know this 'hero' term. If someone comes to me with a script and says 'sir this hero...' I'm like 'is there a name or he is just called a hero?' We are not heroes. Heroes are people fighting for us at the border. We are not heroes we are just doing our job," the actor said at the trailer launch of his upcoming horror-comedy Stree.
Rao, who has emerged as one of the most versatile actors in Bollywood in recent times, said the definition of "hero" has undergone a change today with cinema.
"The speed at which cinema is changing, the definition of hero is also changing," the actor who is all set for his next film – Stree which is scheduled to be released on August 31.
