Stree 2 actor Rajkummar Rao rates himself THIS much as a husband

Undoubtedly, Rajkummar Rao's film Stree 2 continues to grab attention for its remarkable performance. This year has been special not just for Rajkummar but also for his wife Patralekhaa, who wowed the audience with her acting in IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack. Rajkummar Rao, a proud husband, lauded his wife Patralekhaa for her acting prowess.

While talking to Showsha, they shared that although they are great at boosting each other's confidence, they also serve as each other's toughest critics. “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 says.

He further adds, “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."

Sharing his views on Patralekhaa’s performance in IC 814, he says, “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."

Rating himself as a partner, Rajkummar says,“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)," says the actor, who recently wrapped the shoot of his next film, Maalik.
