They chose simplicity and elegance to share their joy. Their joint post featured a soft pastel backdrop with delicate florals encircling a cradle. The words “Baby on the way” appeared on top, while their names were gently inscribed below. Adding to the emotion, the caption read only one word: “Elated.” Not surprisingly, the warm announcement ignited a wave of love across social media. Within minutes, industry friends and fans showered the couple with congratulations and heartfelt wishes.

Varun Dhawan wrote an exuberant “Congratulationnnssssss” punctuated with love. Meanwhile, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja expressed her happiness for the couple, calling them “dear friends.”
Choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan revealed she had been keeping the secret for a while, commenting, “Finally the news is out!! I was having a tough time keeping it to myself.” Pulkit Samrat chimed in with excitement, while Neha Dhupia simply and sweetly said, “Congratulations you guys.”

Rajkummar and Patralekhaa’s love story goes way back. Rajkummar once shared that he felt an instant connection when he saw Patralekhaa in a commercial. Their journey began in 2010 and blossomed further in 2014 when they appeared together in CityLights. After more than a decade of companionship, they sealed their bond in a grand Chandigarh wedding on November 15, 2021.
On the work front, Patralekhaa was last seen in Phule alongside Pratik Gandhi. Meanwhile, Rajkummar is set to impress with his gangster role in Maalik, slated for release on July 11. Sharing the screen with him is Manushi Chhillar, adding her own flair to the anticipated film.
With their first child on the way, Rajkummar and Patralekhaa are ready to embrace a new kind of role—this time, as parents. And clearly, the film fraternity and fans alike couldn’t be happier for them.
