Actors Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa are all set to embrace parenthood for the first time. The couple, who tied the knot in 2021 in an intimate ceremony in Chandigarh, recently shared the heartwarming news of their pregnancy with fans on social media.
Pregnancy Announcement Goes Viral
On July 9, the couple made their announcement via Instagram. The post featured a soft pastel design with a floral wreath and a cradle, reading “Baby on the way” along with their names. Rajkummar captioned the post simply, “Elated”, expressing their joy in a single word.
Babymoon in New Zealand

Cherishing Slow Time and Nature

Wairakei Terraces, you’ll be hard to forget.” The couple opted for calm and connection during the getaway, steering clear of high-adrenaline activities like bungee jumping and skydiving due to the pregnancy.
A Trip to Remember
Speaking to Bombay Times, Rajkummar called the trip one of the most unforgettable adventures they’ve had. Both avid travellers, the couple made the most of this special time, soaking in the beauty of New Zealand while preparing for their next chapter — parenthood.
