Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa have shared a deeply personal milestone with their followers by revealing the name of their daughter, born on November 15 last year. The couple announced that their baby girl is named Parvati Paul Rao, a name that reflects both emotion and intention.
The announcement came through a joint Instagram post that featured a tender photograph of three hands intertwined — the infant’s tiny hand resting in Patralekhaa’s, while Rajkummar gently holds hers. Alongside the image, Rajkummar wrote, “With folded hands and full hearts, we introduce our greatest blessing, Parvati Paul Rao,” also sharing the name in Hindi. The simplicity of the image and message resonated instantly, drawing an outpouring of love from fans and colleagues alike.
The inclusion of “Paul” — Patralekhaa’s maiden surname — stood out to many as a thoughtful and meaningful choice. By honouring both family lineages in their daughter’s name, the couple quietly made a statement that reflects evolving perspectives around identity, heritage and partnership. Fans across social media praised the gesture, calling it heartfelt and progressive.
Messages of congratulations quickly filled the comment section. Actors including Ayushmann Khurrana, Bhumi Pednekar and Aahana Kumra were among those who extended their wishes, welcoming little Parvati with warmth and affection.
The timing of the announcement added another layer of sentiment. Rajkummar and Patralekhaa welcomed their daughter on November 15, a date that also marks their wedding anniversary. The couple tied the knot in 2021 after several years together, making the arrival of their first child a poignant continuation of their shared journey.
Their relationship began on the sets of CityLights in 2014, which also marked Patralekhaa’s film debut. What started as an on-screen collaboration gradually turned into a lasting partnership, admired for its quiet strength and mutual respect. Over the years, the two have selectively shared moments from their personal life, making each update feel intimate rather than performative.
On the professional front, Rajkummar Rao was recently seen in Bhool Chuk Maaf alongside Wamiqa Gabbi and Maalik with Manushi Chhillar. He also has Toaster in the pipeline, though updates on the project remain awaited. Patralekhaa was last seen portraying Savitribai Phule in Phule and is set to appear next in Suryast and Gulkanda Tales.
As they step into parenthood, Rajkummar and Patralekhaa’s announcement feels less like a headline and more like a gentle invitation into a moment of gratitude, love and new beginnings — one that their audience has been more than happy to celebrate with them.
