Patralekhaa’s baby bump debut with Rajkummar Rao marks couple’s first outing post pregnancy reveal

Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa are set to become parents. A day after sharing their happy news online, the couple made their first public appearance together. Both were all smiles as they posed for the paparazzi.

On Thursday, the two were seen wearing matching suits. Rajkummar wore a light grey one, while Patralekhaa chose a neutral tone. Her baby bump was clearly visible under her outfit, and she looked relaxed as she stood beside her husband. The two greeted photographers with warm smiles but didn’t make any direct comment about the pregnancy.

The news broke on Wednesday when the couple posted a photo on Instagram with the message “Baby on the way.” The picture featured an illustrated cradle surrounded by leaves and flowers, with their names written at the bottom. Their caption simply read, “Elated,” along with red heart emojis.

The post quickly received love from several celebrities. Farah Khan commented, “Finally the news is out!! I was having a tough time keeping it to myself.” Others like Sonam Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Esha Gupta, Bhumi Pednekar, Manushi Chhillar, Pulkit Samrat, and Dia Mirza also congratulated the couple in the comments.

The two actors have been together for many years and got married in November 2021. Over the years, they’ve worked together in films and web shows, including CityLights and Bose: Dead/Alive.

Patralekhaa was last seen in Phule, a film based on the lives of social reformers Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule. She played Savitribai in the film, which also featured Pratik Gandhi. Rajkummar Rao, on the other hand, recently starred in Bhool Chuk Maaf and is now gearing up for the release of Maalik, in which he plays a gangster. The film also stars Manushi Chhillar and Prosenjit Chatterjee.

The couple has mostly kept their personal life private, choosing to share major updates only when they’re ready. This appearance, just a day after their announcement, has naturally drawn attention from fans and media alike.

As the couple steps into this new chapter, they continue to balance their personal milestones with steady work in films.
