Rajkummar Rao and Patralekha are a match made in heaven! The duo knew each other, even before they starred together in Hansal Mehta’s ‘Citylights’. They dated for seven years, before they tied the knot in 2021. Their ceremony is still remembered as Rajkummar made it a marriage of the equals. In a recent interview, Rajkummar has opened up on why he asked Patralekha to also put sindoor on him and not just the vice versa. He also steered clear on the fact that he wasn’t comfortable with some traditions which may seem patriarchal.
The ‘Stree 2’ actor said during a chat with Barkha Dutt on Mojo Story, “At that moment it was very impulsive, I felt why is it just her wearing the sindoor, mangalsutra and chooda? I thought she had to wear and do so much, what I am doing? I was just wearing the ring. I just asked her, ‘You should also put sindoor on me. It should be equal.’”
During that moment, Patralekha was quite surprised and overwhelmed. Recalling her reaction, Rajkummar said, “I think she was overwhelmed but both of us were so elated to get married. That moment became huge later, but at that point we didn’t really think that it’s out of the box. She knows me very well and this is something that is expected out of me. But I am glad that it touched so many hearts.”
Rao also spoke about how he paid attention to everything which the pandit was asking them to do during the wedding. “Even during our pheras, we wanted to know what was the Pandit ji saying? We asked him the meaning behind every mantra. We weren’t comfortable with some of the vachans (promises) that Patralekha had to take. For instance, there was one vachan which said that she can’t get angry at me and I was like this one is not happening, it’s not valid.”
On work front, Rajkummar has been enjoying the success of ‘Stree 2’ this year. He was last seen in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.
