Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa, who have been together for 15 years after meeting on the sets of CityLights in 2010, are expecting their first child. The couple, who tied the knot on November 15, 2021, announced their pregnancy in July 2025. Since then, they have shared their excitement and experiences as they prepare to welcome their baby.
Recently, Patralekhaa appeared on Soha Ali Khan's podcast All About Her alongside gynecologist Dr. Ranjana Dhanu, where she discussed her pregnancy journey and experiences as a first-time mother. The episode, released on September 5, featured Patralekhaa opening up about how Rajkummar has been supporting her during this time.
During the conversation, Soha asked if Rajkummar had been more watchful of her during this phase. Patralekhaa shared that Rajkummar isn't the kind of person who tells her what to do or what to eat; instead, he allows her to be herself. However, she can feel his concern, especially since he has been away shooting and not in Mumbai. "He calls every day to check in, asking if I've eaten, if I'm okay, and how I'm feeling," Patralekhaa revealed.
Rajkummar's caring nature shines through, even from a distance. His daily calls and genuine concern for Patralekhaa's well-being highlight the strong bond they share as they embark on this new chapter.
Patralekhaa also spoke about her love for fitness, mentioning that it has been a part of her life since she was 10 years old. She continued to work out every day right up until the day she conceived, emphasizing how much she enjoys it and how it keeps her balanced and happy.
After announcing their pregnancy, Rajkummar shared with the Hindustan Times that they were absolutely thrilled and looking forward to this new phase. He mentioned that their friends who are parents have told them that it will be the best phase of their lives, and they are excited for it. He added that it is still sinking in, and they sometimes feel like it is surreal that they are going to be parents.
Patralekhaa's mother is also overjoyed with the news. The actress shared that her mother was super thrilled and couldn't believe it initially because she had given up on them planning for a baby.
Rajkummar and Patralekhaa's love story began in 2010, and after 11 years of dating, they got married in Chandigarh on November 15, 2021. They have shared screen space in Citylights and the web series Bose: Dead/Alive.
As they prepare to welcome their first child, Rajkummar and Patralekhaa's bond continues to strengthen. Their journey from co-stars to soulmates to soon-to-be parents is a testament to their enduring love and commitment.
