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. 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?'
