Personal Life
Rahul Kumar recently made news for marrying Keziban Doğan, a Turkish woman, on 4 May 2025.

Why “Millimetre” Is Memorable
In 3 Idiots, Millimetre is more than just a helper — he is a sympathetic, grounded character who quietly supports the main students (Rancho, Farhan, Raju).
One of his iconic lines (or how he’s remembered): “Millimetre ab Centimetre ban chuka hai” — a reference to time passing and his growth. OdishaTv
His performance left a lasting impression, and many fans still fondly associate Rahul with this role. MensXP
Recent & Current Work
Apart from his 3 Idiots fame, Rahul has continued acting in various projects: films, theatre, and web series. Wikipedia
He appears to keep a relatively low but steady profile; media coverage often highlights him in the context of his 3 Idiots role and his personal life.
Additional Notes
There is some confusion around “Millimetre” casting: a Times of India headline once claimed Dushyant Wagh is Millimetre.
However, that appears to be a mistake or mis-report: the original screenplay credits Rahul Kumar as Millimetre.
Rahul’s recognition from 3 Idiots has stayed strong: even years later, people refer to him by his character name and talk about how he’s “grown up.”
