One would assume Rinku Rajguru's current concern would be how to handle her enormous success, chart out a career map or to make sure the fame does not slip away; but the "Sairat" breakout star is worried about something that any other 17-year-old in the country is -- the upcoming exams result.

"I want to do great work but first I want to finish my education," Rinku says, dismissing any 'where do I see myself in five year' plan.

"I am waiting for my result now. I am not scared. I had studied well and the papers were good too. But I think now it is too late to be scared anyway."
"Even those, who didn't understand or speak Marathi, started to recognise me. The love that I am receiving, I couldn't have even dreamt of it."
"I was not scared when the overnight fame happened. I had no inkling how the film would just blow up and we would be recognised all over. I am grateful for the success which has come my way."
"That's because I don't think about stardom, I get very awkward when people treat me like that (a grown up star). I tell them, I am still young, please treat me as such."
"After 'Sairat' I had many offers and several people told me to make the most out of it. But I felt my follow up should be equally good. No one can do 'Sairat' again, but we can do something powerful and so I decided to wait."
Calling it equal parts "amusing and scary," the actor says, "It was so crowded. Everyone came to meet me and Makarand because he is also from the same village."
