Patralekhaa defends Rajkummar Rao
Now, Rajkummar`s better half, actress Patralekhaa, has posted a note of appreciation for her husband on her Instagram Stories, noting how people fail to see the hard work that goes into bringing a character to life. She added that Rajkummar gives his all to every role he takes on.
“So proud of you, rajkummar_rao. You give it your all for every film project you take on. The world doesn`t see the process and hard work that an actor puts into developing a character. The end result always looks easy. Behind all the fame and glamour that meets the eye, and actor`s life is filled with blood, sweat, tears, and the sacrifice of personal life,” Patralekhaa wrote.
