Love has to face reality... if it has to be alive." A lovable couple from the Indian cinema industry surely knows what it means to hold on to their love. Rajkummar Rao and Patralekha Paul More than ten years Getting stronger with time and their everlasting bond is built on small memories of mutual admiration.
Four years ago, when I first spoke to Patralekha during the release of her film, she spoke about her relationship with Rajkummar Rao. In one of her earlier interviews, she called him "friend at 4 o'clock, first my best friend and then my boyfriend". Months later, rumors spread that there was trouble in their paradise and the two had an ugly brawl in their building lobby.
'I'm going to be a little smarter about us'
Dismissing all those gossipers, Patralekha spoke to me exclusively and vehemently denied the news saying, "Honestly, I thought it was okay to talk about your relationship in the industry. But now When I've been spending more time in the industry, I realized why actors and actresses don't like talking about it... It's because people get to the point where they shouldn't."
“It is not good. Anyone who likes says we have a breakup or we have a big fight. It creates more tension between us,” she revealed. I'm going to be a little discreet about it." As Rajkummar shines on the silver screen with Priyanka Chopra in 'The White Tiger', let's take a look at their relationship.
'I'm going to marry her'
How did both of them meet for the first time? “I saw him for the first time in LSD. I thought the weird guy he played was really what he was. My perception of him was clouded! He told me later, that he first saw me in an ad and thought, 'I'm going to marry her.' It was so ironic!" Patralekha, 30 - known for her performances in films like 'City Lights' and 'Love Games' - confessed in an interview with Humans of Bombay.
Throwing light on how their bond got stronger, she said, “Once we started working together - it was magic. The kind of passion he had was powerful and I couldn't respect him more than I did then! We talked about his work, love for cinema, passion... I saw him through his struggles, never giving up. How could we not fall for each other? We didn't officially go on dates, but we went for drives, to the movies, or just sat home. We went to auditions with each other, just for support. We just needed that understanding.
Patralekha said, "Once when he was late in meeting me, he ran from the airport to Juhu! Not only that, but when we were not earning much, he gifted me my favorite bag - that's it. It was expensive! Years later someone stole it in London! I called him crying - for me, it was about memories. He bought it for me when he didn't have much. Later, at our hotel, the same The bag was waiting for me."
"These little things make me realize how lucky I am to have him. And the best part is he always says he's lucky. Isn't that what a relationship needs? Miss each other To remind us how grateful we are? He once told me that when I met his mother, she said, 'I think she's the last I'm meeting.' She was right - we've been together for 8 years," she said at the time.
'we're even'
"We are equal - when an article said, 'Rajkumar with his girlfriend, Patralekha', he retweeted - 'Patralekha with his lover Rajkumar.' I can tell you this, when you find the one - through fights, obstacles and chaos, you should never forget to tell them that you love them. It doesn't have to be with expensive gifts and dates - it Just maybe the way you hold them when they need it and when they don't. For us, we don't know what will happen in the future, but this, being together, is enough."
fair share of challenges
The pair - who first started dating back in 2010 after starring together in Hansal Mehta's film - have often said that wedding bells aren't ringing anytime soon, but marriage is definitely on the cards. Even for the ideal couple, their relationship doesn't come without challenges.
"While dating each other over the years, we've had our fair share of challenges, but I think the biggest test has come this year itself. There's no room for space in our relationship. Literally, Patralekha said in an Instagram post during the COVID-19 pandemic.
'I wish I could meet this girl one day'
“But even in 2020, Love found a way. Who knew stepping out of your comfort zone could be so comfortable? We've got all these new moments, new dates, new conversations because our world can now fit into an apartment. So 2020, you've got tough, but dating before has found a way through laundry detergentdetergent, Gaga getting a haircut and arguing about whose turn it is to cook,” she added.
Meanwhile, Rajkummar expressed his feelings for her in a post, saying, "I still remember seeing you in an ad and thinking, 'I wish I could meet this girl one day.' And as destiny or the universe would have it, much I wish, I met you a month later. Have been together for so many years, and yet, it seems that we have just met. You are the most beautiful and most beautiful Strong girl I have met. Let's create many more wonderful memories together."
