Rajkummar Rao describes his husband skills and rates himself 9: “Kuch toh gadbad hogi mujh mein”

2024 has been a standout year for Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa. Rajkummar showcased his range with performances in Srikanth, Mr & Mrs Mahi, Stree 2, and Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. Meanwhile, Patralekhaa garnered attention for her role in IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the series featured her as a cabin crew member on a hijacked flight, grappling with the plight of her immobile and ailing father.

In an exclusive conversation with News18 Showsha, Rajkummar Rao shared that while he and Patralekhaa are always supportive of each other, they also play the role of each other's toughest critics. He explained, “She’s one of my most honest critics. She has been the first audience to most of my work. And when she likes my work, it’s a big validation for me. She’s a very knowledgeable girl. She has seen a lot of cinema and worked a lot. She’ll never say something just to please me and I totally respect and believe in her opinion.”

Rajkummar Rao shared the perks of having an actor wife and said, “Most of the time, we end up liking and disliking the same films. We share the same taste in cinema. We both also criticise each other’s work. We like giving constructive criticism to one another in terms of the areas we can improve on and how we can grow. And that’s the fun of having a partner who’s also from the same industry and is equally passionate about cinema. She has a great understanding of performances. We discuss work and that’s how we grow with each other.”

Rajkummar Rao praised Patralekhaa’s performance in IC 814, calling it a “study” for him as an actor. He said, “She was fantastic in it, especially the scene where she says that she wants to make a phone call. For me, it was like going back to class. I asked her how she did that scene. She was so beautiful in it and I know that not many people can do what she did.” Rajkummar has previously shared screen space with Patralekhaa in CityLights and Bose: Dead/Alive.

When asked to describe himself as a partner, Rajkummar Rao humorously replied, “I would rate myself nine as a husband. Wow, that’s not bad at all, right? I was about to say ten but then I thought that kuch toh gadbad hogi mujh mein. There’s always room for improvement (laughs).” The actor, who recently wrapped up filming for his upcoming movie Maalik, added a light-hearted touch to the conversation.

As the year draws to a close, Rajkummar Rao reflected on one of their most memorable moments, sharing, “It’s a little ironical. We got two new puppies and after a couple of months, one of the babies named Gaga died. That was extremely sad. It really shook us. In a sad way, this event and the way we reacted to it is something that I’ll remember for a very long time. But bringing them into our lives was a joy.”
