Rahul Singh

He is the son of Prabha Thakur, poet and a member of Rajya Sabha. His forefathers played a prominent role in the Freedom struggle. Singh attended school at Mayo College in Ajmer and graduated from St. Xavier's College. In early years, he aspired to become a sportsman or work as a cop. While in college, he wrote more than 50 street plays and was part of an acting group that performed for various social organizations. Singh studied acting overseas at the Royal Academy of Drama and the British Film Institute in London. Singh acknowledged that his mother's poetry influenced him as a writer, both genetically and through the inspiration it provides, also expressing the enjoyment of scriptwriting and its connection to his previous experience in street theatre. He considers Madhur Bhandarkar as his mentor and friend along with Akshay Kumar and Judy Dench. Rahul stated that he believes in slowly and steadily building his career, and his acting skills have been appreciated, leading to more offers. Singh values versatility and chooses roles based on their script and his character's importance. He is open to playing different types of roles whether as antagonist or doing comedy given that it should justify his "love for acting". He states, "So even while I sign a big budget film like a Khiladi 786 or a limited-budget film like Tere Bin Laden, I listen to the narration and read the script of the film. My role and my lines are important to me." Singh has been actively involved in environmental conservation campaigns and has previously worked with organizations for elephant conservation in West Bengal. In 2020, he joined the campaign to remove invasive plant species called Lantana, which was causing habitat loss for wildlife at the Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary in Udaipur.
