Patralekhaa says she hates being called just Rajkummar Rao’s wife: ‘People approach me only to reach Raj’ | Bollywood-OxBig News Network

Patralekhaa reacts to being called ‘Rajkummar Rao’s wife’

Patralekhaa said that she “really hates just to be called Rajkummar Rao’s wife” and added, “I detest it, and I feel very small. Kyunki mera ek naam hai… mera ek astitva hai. (Because I have a name… I have an identity). Aapko lagta hai meri zindagi asaan hai kyunki mere husband famous hai but it’s never easy. If you are trying to establish yourself as an individual and have your own career, it is very difficult. I request the media not to do this because it takes a lot of hard work. I’ll never be comfortable and will keep fighting till the day I die.”

She further added, “People often approach me only to reach Raj. They bring me scripts not because they want me, but because they want to cast him. And then it becomes clear what the bait is, they want me to take it to Raj, and the film is mine.”

Patralekhaa and Rajkummar Rao’s relationship

Patralekhaa and Rajkummar tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony after 11 years of dating. While for Rajkummar it was love at first sight when he saw her in an advertisement, Patralekhaa, on the other hand, initially found him to be a ‘weird guy’ after seeing him for the first time in LSD. The couple often shares pictures together on social media, giving major couple goals.
