RajKummar Rao and Patralekhaa tied the knot in a dreamy wedding ceremony in 2021, and this year they completed a year of marriage, and the two of them just grew all the more adorable together. While the day of their wedding was the happiest day of their lives until then, 2021 also came with a huge loss for Patralekhaa as her father passed away six months before her wedding. And recently, the actress opened up about it all.

As the year 2022 nears closing, Patralekhaa recalled the year in an interview with Hindustan Times saying, “It has been an amalgamation of so many things – moving on from dad’s death, starting a new journey with Raj, and being in a really great phase in my career.” Opening up about her father’s demise, she said, “He had travelled to Shimla for some work and he never came back. He suffered a haemorrhage and me and my family could not even make it on time. Dealing with his death ever since has been a lot for me. So many things were left unspoken and will always linger in my mind. That journey…that process, I am still trying to come to terms with. It has been difficult. The last one year has been about that as well. All I do is sit quietly and feel the emotions or sometimes talk to my mother, sister or Raj about it.”

When asked if she and Raj thought about pushing their wedding date after the tragic loss, she shared, “Given the situation, we could have done the wedding after a year or so but my mother did not want to postpone it. She was adamant and said that my father would have been the happiest to see me getting married after all these years. So we did not change the date and went ahead because one day we any way would have gotten married. Also, postponing it would not have made the grief any lesser.”

Patralekhaa then went on to sing praises about her husband RajKummar and how he helped her get through the toughest time in her life. She said, “We were best friends and we will continue to be so. Raj is the nicest human being. He let me be the way I am. We both go to work and come back home to spend time with each other and our pet dog. We are home birds and these small, simple moments is what makes our life special.”
Raj and Patralekhaa indeed make for a lovely couple and the actress is indeed a strong individual, having dealt with such a huge loss so admirably.
