Patralekhaa on meeting Rajkummar Rao for the first time
Patralekhaa opened up about her love story with Rajkummar Rao and how they met. She said that her sister joined her on her first day, where she met Rajkummar after watching Love Sex Aur Dhokha. Patralekhaa also revealed that she felt uncomfortable after watching the film.
"When I met Raj, I realised how passionate he was about his art, and this quality completely floored me."
Patralekhaa told Zoom, "I didn't meet him while we were shooting for Citylights. We met while we were going to FTII. He had already done a movie called LSD. I had gone to see the movie, and I was really traumatised."
She further added, "I try to navigate situations. So, I told my friend, look, I'm not coming. I told my sister to come. It was a small car; Raj was sitting, my sister was sitting, and I was sitting. Just looking at him, you get a vibe of 'Bhalo chhele'. I was pinching my sister, 'Ato kotha kano bolchish?' Raj was like, Hey, what do you do? I said I've done a couple of ads. He was like, Oh my god, you're that girl. Then we started talking. I was very comfortable with him. We reached FTII. I saw the man's passion for work. It was a student project, but he was still so passionate about it."
He further added, "I met a man who was so passionate about his art. I was completely floored, like he is my guy."
On the work front, she is currently riding on the success of her web show, IC 814, which is streaming on Netflix.
