Bollywood actors Rajkummar Rao and Patralekha are all set to tie the knot in Chandigarh later in the day after being in a relationship for over 8 years. Celebrities like Huma Qureshi, Farah Khan, Mudassar Aziz, Amar Kaushik and Aditi Rao Hydari will be attending the wedding.

The two hosted a stunning all-white-themed engagement party on Saturday, which was attended by their close friends and family. A video of the couple proposing to each other during the ceremony has gone viral on social media. However, not many know that it was love at first sight for Rajkummar Rao. He saw Patralekhaa in an advertisement a few years back and said to himself, “I am going to marry her.” Little did he know that his dream would come true on November 15, 2021. 

While Rajkummar first saw Patralekhaa in an advertisement,  the latter saw him for the first time in ‘Love, Sex Aur Dhokha’. They went on to work together in ‘City Lights’ in 2014 and became friends. They soon fell in love and also reportedly started living together. 

Speaking about their love story, Patralekha told Humans of Bombay, “When we started working together, it was like magic. The kind of passion he had was like a power. I couldn’t have respected more than that. We talked about our work, love and passion for films. I have seen his struggles he never gives up. How did we not love each other?”

Rajkumar Rao further said, ”I still remember when I saw you in the ad and was stunned. I thought one day I’d meet this girl. It is luck or the time cycle that I met you only after a month. We have been together for so many years, yet it seems that we have just met. You are the sweetest and strongest girl I have met. Let’s make memorable moments together.”
