Earlier Ayushmann Khurrana’s Dream Girl actor Solanki Diwakar was found pulling rickshaw on the streets of Delhi and selling fruits. Acting projects are not available every day, so Diwakar has to sell fruits.
Solanki sells fruits off a cart in Delhi’s Malviya Nagar and Lajpat Nagar areas. Solanki is one of thousands of struggling actors who are known as junior artists who make small appearances in films.
Diwakar will next be seen in the Netflix film, The White Tiger, the shoot for which has already been completed. He has a role with negative shades in the film, which has Rajkummar Rao and Priyanka Chopra in its cast.
