In a recent interview with an entertainment portal, actor Patralekhaa opened up about the scrutiny she faces regarding her personal life, especially the persistent rumors about her expecting a baby with her husband, actor Rajkummar Rao. Patralekhaa candidly shared that these rumors, often sparked by instances of bloating, initially bothered her.
She expressed her frustration, explaining that there have been times when people assumed she was pregnant simply because of natural bodily changes, like bloating. “How many times has it happened that I was having bloating, but people feel that I am pregnant. Now who will explain to those people that there are some days in the month when one does not feel good,” she said.
Over time, Patralekhaa has learned to cope with these intrusive speculations by choosing not to engage with online comments. She now focuses on feeling confident in her own skin and no longer lets such rumors affect her. She mentioned that she used to get troubled by these assumptions but eventually stopped reading comments altogether, finding peace in ignoring the chatter.
Patralekhaa also spoke about her interactions with the paparazzi, noting that she sometimes requests them not to click her pictures when she feels uncomfortable, a request they have respectfully honored.
Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa, who were in a relationship for over a decade before tying the knot on November 15, 2021, have always been open about their love and respect for each other. Their marriage announcement on social media was heartfelt, with Rajkummar writing, “Finally after 11 years of love, romance, friendship, and fun, I got married to my everything today, my soulmate, my best friend, my family.” The couple has also collaborated on several projects, including the film Citylights and the web series Bose: Dead/Alive.
Despite the rumors and public scrutiny, Patralekhaa remains focused on her work and personal happiness, taking pride in her appearance and choosing to rise above unfounded assumptions.
