Rajkummar, Patralekhaa get engaged

Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao and his long-time girlfriend and actress Patralekhaa are finally tying the knot this month. The couple got engaged in an intimate pre-wedding ceremony in Chandigarh on Saturday night, reports NDTV.

The video from Rajkummar Rao’s proposal is all over the Internet. For the engagement ceremony, the couple was seen twinning in white ensemble. Patralekhaa was a vision in white and silver slit gown with a long trail, while Rajkummar looked charming in a white kurta, which he wore with matching sneakers. Rajkummar went down on one knee to propose to Patralekhaa as did she.

After the couple exchanged wedding rings, Ed Sheeran’s Perfect started playing in the backdrop and Rajkummar and Patralekhaa started dancing.

The guest list mostly comprised friends and family members. Filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan, actor Saqib Salim were among the few guests from Bollywood.

Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa have been dating for over 6 years. They co-starred in CityLights. In her piece for Humans of Bombay, a few years ago, Patralekhaa wrote about her and Rajkummar Rao’s love story and wrote: “It was magic. The kind of passion he had was powerful and I couldn’t respect him any more than I did then! We spoke about our work, love for cinema, passion... I saw him through his struggles, never giving up. How could we not fall for each other?”

Rajkummar and Patralekhaa had played a married couple in the film, ‘Citylights’. The two then came together for the web show, Bose: Dead/Alive. Rajkummar had once revealed he had seen her during an ad shoot and had decided to marry her one day. During his appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, he revealed the one thought that came to his mind when he saw her for the first time. ‘’Kitni pyaari ladki hai, isse toh shaadi karni chahiye (such a nice girl, I should marry her),” he said.

Rajkummar Rao was last seen in his recent film ‘Hum Do Humare Do’ on Disney+Hotstar. The film also stars Kriti Sanon, Ratna Pathak Shah, Paresh Rawal. Apart from that, he has a couple of projects in the pipeline. He will be seen in ‘Badhaai Do’ opposite Bhumi Pednekar, a Netflix film ‘Monica, O My Darling’ and Vikram Rao’s ‘Hit: The First Case’.
