Bollywood star couple Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa are ready to receive their first child. The couple revealed the good news on July 9 with a warm Instagram post, making fans and fellow stars ecstatic. Now, Patralekhaa has openly shared her experience of being pregnant, including how she underwent egg freezing and the emotional ride that followed.
“Pregnancy Was Easier Than Egg Freezing”
Recently, in an interview with actress Soha Ali Khan on her YouTube channel, Patralekhaa revealed close secrets about becoming a mother. The actress shared that she had frozen eggs three years ago, believing she could use them someday in life. She finally got pregnant naturally, though, and called pregnancy a smoother affair than egg-freezing.
“I had also frozen my eggs about three years ago, and now that I am pregnant, I feel pregnancy was way easier than freezing the eggs,” she said.
She went on to say that her physician never adequately informed her of the emotional and physical strain of egg freezing. Patralekhaa stated that she put on weight during the procedure and had severe mood swings and post-procedure blues. In her own words, “Between the two, I would always say that the young girls should just get pregnant. It’s just easier than undergoing that whole process.”
Pregnancy Came as a Surprise
Interestingly, Patralekhaa did not know she was pregnant in the beginning. Her first home pregnancy test revealed a negative result. It was only through a routine consultation with her gynecologist that she found out the news that would transform her life.
Keeping the News a Secret Was Tough
The duo decided to keep the pregnancy a secret in the first trimester. But this became difficult because of their work obligations. Patralekhaa revealed they had signed a contract for a travel show months prior to learning about the pregnancy.
“We had to do it because it was a commitment, but it was very scary,” she admitted. In spite of the worry, they were able to complete their part without revealing the news.
The Big Announcement
July 9 was the day when Rajkummar and Patralekhaa finally broke the happy news to fans through Instagram. Their announcement, with beaming Patralekhaa and joyful Rajkummar, was showered with love and congratulatory wishes from every nook and corner of the industry.
