Love is in the air — and soon, there’ll be the pitter-patter of tiny feet too. Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa have officially announced that they’re expecting their first child! The couple took to Instagram to share the happy news with a simple but touching post: “Baby on the way, Patralekhaa and Rajkummar.” Naturally, it didn’t take long for the internet to light up with congratulatory messages from fans, friends, and fellow celebs.
Rajkummar and Patralekhaa’s love story has always been one of Bollywood’s most beloved. From that first spark — when Rajkummar spotted her in an ad — to their dreamy wedding in 2021, the couple has always radiated a rare kind of warmth and authenticity. This next chapter feels like a beautiful continuation of that journey, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled for them.
Professionally, Rajkummar is staying as busy as ever. At 40, he continues to deliver standout performances and is now gearing up for the release of his latest film, Maalik, hitting cinemas this Friday, July 11. With hits like Stree 2, Srikanth, Shahid, and Badhaai Do under his belt, he remains one of the industry’s most versatile talents.
Meanwhile, Patralekhaa — who made a powerful debut opposite Rajkummar in CityLights — continues to impress with her thoughtful choice of roles. She was last seen in Phule, sharing the screen with Pratik Gandhi. Now, as they prepare to step into parenthood, it’s clear the couple has much to celebrate — both on-screen and off.
