Rajkummar Rao on Patralekhaa: ‘She Never Let Me Feel Lonely in This City’

Rajkummar Rao calls himself "lucky" to have found Patralekhaa so early in his career

Rajkummar Rao has always been open about his journey in the film industry, from being an outsider to becoming one of Bollywood’s most acclaimed actors. But through all the ups and downs, one person has remained his constant source of strength—his wife, Patralekhaa. In a heartfelt moment, Rajkummar expressed his gratitude for her unwavering support, calling himself "lucky" to have found her so early in his career.

Rajkummar said, "You can feel very lonely in this city, especially when you come from outside to become an actor. But I was so blessed that I found Patralekhaa at the beginning of my career in 2010 when we met for the first time. And it's been 15 years, 11 years of dating, and 3 years of marriage. She's always kept me grounded and has been my biggest strength. She was a mother before. Maa thi pehle, abhi physically maa nahi hai. Toh I think maa ne Patralekhaa ko kuch samjha ke hi bheja hai because she never let me miss her. Thank you so much, Patralekhaa."

On the work front, Rajkummar is set to star in Bhul Chuk Maaf alongside Wamiqa Gabbi, followed by Toaster, where he will be seen opposite Sanya Malhotra. Toaster also marks a special milestone for him and Patralekhaa, as it is the first project under their newly launched production house, Kampa Films.
