Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa had announced the birth of their baby girl in November last year with a deeply emotional post that coincided with their fourth wedding anniversary. Sharing the joyful news on Instagram, the couple wrote, “We are over the moon. God has blessed us with a baby girl… Blessed parents Patralekhaa and Rajkumaar,” calling it the greatest blessing of their lives. Keeping the announcement simple and spiritual, the couple chose to focus on gratitude rather than on details, a sentiment they echoed once again as they revealed their daughter’s name, Parvati Paul Rao, with folded hands and full hearts.
