Patralekhaa spoke about how Rajkummar has been a constant cheerleader in her life
A few weeks ago, Patralekhaa, who had a busy professional year in 2024 and 2025, sat down for an interview with the Hindustan Times and explained how, despite her recent success, her husband, Rajkummar Rao, has been a constant cheerleader in her life for a long time. She admitted that she feels blessed for her bond with Raj which is based on an amazing friendship and love. In her words:
“We are best friends, and we have always been cheering for each other through our good and bad times. So, while from the other side, it might seem like ‘oh my god, it’s amazing,’ but for us, I feel that that’s how it always is, and that’s how actually our partnership is.”
Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa’s love story
Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa first came across each other in 2010 for the shoot of a music video when the actress found Raj to be a little ‘creepy’. But, she kept her thoughts to herself which changed as she came to understand him. They began dating by the next year. The two came together for their first film, Citylights, in 2014, and gradually, their bond gained the spotlight with their rising success. Rajkummar and Patralekhaa tied the knot after 11 years of dating in a private ceremony in Chandigarh on November 15, 2021. Now, the duo are set to enter the new phase of their life and soon-to-be parents.
We congratulate Patralekhaa and Rajkummar Rao on the good news.
