Bollywood actors Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa are now proud parents to a baby girl. The couple joyfully announced the arrival of their daughter on November 15, a date that also marked their fourth wedding anniversary. The timing couldn’t have been more special, making the celebration doubly memorable for the duo.
Rajkummar Rao’s Heartwarming Post
To share the heartwarming news, Rajkummar and Patralekhaa took to Instagram with a joint post. Their caption read, “The greatest blessing God has given us on our 4th wedding anniversary.” Alongside the caption, they posted a charming digital postcard that read, “We are over the moon. God has blessed us with a baby girl. Blessed parents – Patralekhaa and Rajkummar.” The announcement radiated joy and gratitude, instantly capturing the hearts of fans and fellow celebrities.
As soon as the post went live, congratulatory messages began pouring in from across the entertainment industry. Neha Dhupia, a fellow actor and mother, commented warmly, “Congratulations, you guys. Welcome to the best hood … parenthood.” Her message reflected the excitement and camaraderie shared among Bollywood’s close-knit community.
Sophie Choudry also chimed in with heartfelt wishes, saying, “Huge congratulations, you guys!! Much love to you and your princess! God bless.” In addition, stars like Sonam Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Ishita Raj, Malaika Arora, and Kriti Sanon extended their blessings and love to the new parents, making the moment even more special.
A Love Story That Stood the Test of Time
Rajkummar and Patralekhaa’s relationship has always been admired for its depth and authenticity. The couple met over a decade ago and eventually tied the knot in November 2021. Both are alumni of the prestigious Film and Television Institute of India, which laid the foundation for their artistic journeys and personal bond.
Earlier this year, on July 9, the couple hinted at their growing family with a sweet pregnancy announcement. Their Instagram post featured a postcard that read, “Baby on the way,” while the caption simply said, “Elated.” That subtle reveal had already sparked excitement among fans and well-wishers.
Rajkummar has often spoken about his deep connection with Patralekhaa. In past interviews, he described her as his “biggest support and best friend,” emphasizing that their relationship is built on mutual respect, love, and the freedom to grow individually. “She understands me like no one else,” he once said, highlighting the emotional strength of their bond.
Farah Khan Also Congratulated with a Post
Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan congratulated the new parents on the block, Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa, as they welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on Saturday. Dropping a couple of lovely photos from Patralekhaa’s baby shower on social media, Farah advised Rajkummar and Patralekhaa to enjoy this beautiful phase of their life.
Taking to her official Instagram handle, Farah wrote, “The Baby is here!! Congratulations @patralekhaa n @rajkummar_rao .. enjoy this beautiful phase of life (sparkling heart emojis) n remember for any baby advice.. main hoon na.. (winking face with tongue emoji) (sic).”
“p.s.- @iamhumaq luckily we just about did the baby shower in time (face with tears of joy emoji),” she added.
The images show the couple twinning in yellow as they posed in the middle of a cake, balloons, and a giant teddy bear.
Rajkummar Rao has carved a niche for himself in Indian cinema with a string of critically acclaimed performances. From his breakout role in Love Sex Aur Dhokha (2010) to powerful portrayals in Shahid (2013), Newton (2017), and Stree (2018), his versatility has earned him both awards and admiration. More recently, he starred in Srikanth (2024), Mr. & Mrs. Mahi (2024), and is set to return in Stree 2 (2024), continuing his streak of compelling roles.
Patralekhaa, too, has made her mark with a mix of films and web series. She debuted with CityLights in 2014 and went on to appear in projects like Bose: Dead/Alive (2017), Mai Hero Boll Raha Hu (2021), and Aar Ya Paar (2022). Her latest appearance in IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack (2024) showcases her evolving presence in the digital entertainment space.
A Month of Celebrity Baby Joy
Interestingly, Rajkummar and Patralekhaa’s baby news comes just days after another Bollywood couple, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal, welcomed their first child. On November 7, they announced the birth of their baby boy through a collaborative Instagram post, adding to the wave of joy sweeping through the industry.
With two beloved couples embracing parenthood in the same month, November has truly become a season of celebration for Bollywood. Fans are thrilled, and the industry is buzzing with love, blessings, and excitement for the new beginnings
