Bollywood couple Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa are known for giving fans major relationship goals with their love story. They met at a music video shoot and found a way to each other. Now, in an interview with Humans of Bombay, she looked back at her amusing first impression of Rajkummar, confessing, thatshe thought he was very creepy.
Recalling her first reaction
Looking back at her first meeting with Rajkummar, Patralekhaa said she never imagined that he would go on to have a successful career.
She said, “I had just seen LSD. His first film. About three days later, one of my school friends called me, she said, ‘Could you do this video for me, it’s a music video, and I am calling this other actor called Rajkummar. He was just in LSD.’ I said, ‘Ruksana, no, I am not coming because I think he is very creepy and I was scared'. She was like, ‘Nothing will happen, we will send you a car, and why don’t you get your sister along with you?’ I was like, ‘Okay, let’s see.'”
The actor added, “I made my sister sit between me and Raj, and they started chit-chatting. I was feeling weird because he was that creepy guy from that movie. So, I was pinching her, and said do not talk to him. And eventually, it was bit awkward, because the ride was also long from Mumbai to Pune. So, he was like, ‘Hey, what do you do?’ I am like, ‘I have done these couple of ads’. And the moment I said that, I saw there was some shift. And as the story goes, he had seen that particular ad and he was like, ‘I wanna marry this girl’.”
She said she fell for Rajkummar when she spent three days with him shooting for the music video. She found he was a different human being, “someone who loved art and was passionate about his work”. And she couldn’t stop falling in love with him.
