Actors Patralekhaa and Rajkummar Rao have quite a fun love story! After meeting on a music video shoot, they dated for over ten years before finally tying the knot in 2021. Recently, the IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack star spilled the beans about her first impression of her now-husband.
In a recent chat with Humans of Bombay, Patralekhaa reminisced about their first encounter, saying, “I had just seen LSD. His first film. About three days later, one of my school friends called me, she said, ‘Could you do this video for me, it’s a music video, and I am calling this other actor called Rajkummar. He was just in LSD.’ I said, ‘Ruksana, no, I am not coming because I think he is very creepy and I was scared.’ She was like, ‘Nothing will happen, we will send you a car, and why don’t you get your sister along with you?’ I was like, ‘Okay, let’s see.’”
She mentioned that she made her sister sit between her and Raj, and they started talking. She felt weird because he was the “creepy guy” from that movie. She kept pinching her sister, telling her not to chat with him. It got awkward since the ride from Mumbai to Pune was long. She recalled, “So, he was like, ‘Hey, what do you do?’ I am like, ‘I have done these couple of ads’. And the moment I said that, I saw there was some shift. And as the story goes, he had seen that particular ad and he was like, ‘I wanna marry this girl’.”
Patralekhaa talked about how she fell for Rajkummar, saying that when they arrived at FTTI and started filming the video, she realised how passionate he was. “We were there for three days. He was just a different human being. Someone who loved his art so much, and was so passionate about his work. It was such a rarity, and I just couldn’t stop falling in love with him. I was like, ‘Oh my god, this man is all about his work and passion and there is so much integrity and depth to him’. Most of us, back then, when we were doing audition rounds, everybody was doing this either to become richer or to become famous… But he was this guy who was just doing this for the love of his art,” she said.
