Bollywood actors Rajkummar Rao and Patralekha celebrated a double milestone on November 15 as they welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on the very day they marked their fourth wedding anniversary. The news was shared through a heartfelt announcement on Instagram, where the couple expressed gratitude for what they described as a divine blessing.
Rajkummar, 41, and Patralekha posted a joint message saying the arrival of their daughter was the greatest gift they could receive on such a meaningful date. Their announcement sparked a wave of congratulations from fans, colleagues, and prominent figures across the industry.
The couple had confirmed their pregnancy earlier on July 9 with a warm social media post titled “Baby on the way,” which immediately drew excitement from supporters. Since then, fans had been anticipating the arrival of the newest member of their family.
Speaking to Hindustan Times before the birth, Patralekha shared that the couple hoped to travel once the baby arrived. She mentioned that they wished to explore the southern region of New Zealand, a destination they missed on earlier trips. She added that adventure sports such as bungee jumping were also on their list, joking that parenthood might inspire them to attempt “something even crazier with the baby.”
Rajkummar Rao remains one of Bollywood’s most respected performers, rising to prominence through his National Award–winning role in Shahid (2013), where he portrayed lawyer and human rights activist Shahid Azmi. His body of work includes critically acclaimed films like Newton, Trapped, and Stree.
Patralekha, who starred opposite Rajkummar in City Lights, has built a reputation for strong, understated performances in both films and web projects. The two married on November 15, 2021, after a long relationship, and consistently rank among Bollywood’s most admired real-life couples.
With the arrival of their daughter, the pair now begins a new journey as parents while celebrating a relationship that has grown stronger over more than a decade.
