Rajkummar Rao reveals why Patralekhaa put sindoor on him at wedding: ‘We weren’t comfortable with some of the rituals’

Rajkummar Rao has addressed the viral moment where Patralekhaa put sindoor on his forehead at their 2021 wedding.

Rajkummar Rao has opened up about the unusual incident from his 2021 wedding to Patralekhaa, where she put sindoor (vermillion) on his forehead instead of the other way around. The actor said in a new interview that they were trying to just be in the moment and be equal. (Also read: Patralekhaa found husband Rajkummar Rao ‘very creepy’ at first: I was scared)

Rajkummar Rao on the sindoor incident from their marriage

In an interview with Mojo Story, Rajkummar addressed the moment when Patralekhaa applied the sindoor to his forehead and said, “At that moment it was very impulsive, I felt why is it just her wearing the sindoor, mangalsutra and chooda? I thought she had to wear and do so much, what I am doing? I was just wearing the ring. I just asked her, ‘You should also put sindoor on me. It should be equal’.” Rajkummar said that Patralekha was ‘overwhelmed’ at that moment, and though it became huge later, they didn’t think it was anything ‘out of the box’.

Rajkummar on wanting to know the meaning behind rituals

The actor added that he and Patralekhaa were uncomfortable with some of the rituals, particularly the vachans (vows) the bride has to take. “Even during our pheras, we wanted to know what was the Pandit ji saying? We asked him the meaning behind every mantra. We weren’t comfortable with some of the vachans that Patralekha had to take. For instance, there was one vachan which said that she can’t get angry at me and I was like this one is not happening, it’s not valid,” the actor added.

Rajkummar and Patralekha met in 2010 while trying to make a mark in the industry. They shot a music video together and began dating soon after. The couple tied the knot on November 15, 2021 in Chandigarh. They recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary.

Doctors actors Harleen Sethi and Sharad Kelkar claim that OTT makes realism possible: “You couldn’t even depict death on TV” | Exclusive

Sharad Kelkar and Harleen Sethi, stars of JioCinema’s show Doctors, explain why such a realistic show was not possible on TV.
There have been medical dramas on Indian television before, but not with the kind of realism that the West has shown. As Viraf Patell, star of Doctors, says, “They may have played doctors, but the real drama would often happen in their personal lives.” A new Indian show, Doctors, has attempted to change that, bringing into focus the lives of the men and women in the hospital as well. Stars of the series talk to HT about what makes it different.

Television is restrictive when it comes to medical dramas

Harleen Sethi, who plays the show’s protagonist Dr Nitya, says that the biggest change is that they can show more reality here. “I was talking to Siddharth P Malhotra, our producer, whose forte has been medical dramas,” she says, adding, “He made Sanjeevani and Dil Mill Gayye. He said that when he made medical dramas for TV, they weren’t allowed to show death. How do you show characters’ nuances when you can’t show death or blood in a medical show.”

There is more detailing in OTT shows

Her co-star Sharad Kelkar a veteran of television and cinema, agrees that the detailing in streaming is much more. “The detailing is much different on OTT. That is missing on TV. And the audience is not interested either. They want to see more drama than the detailing in television shows,” he argues.

OTT allows shows to touch sensitive issues

The actors say that the focus on more realism and detailing allowed the show to touch on issues that would have been impossible on primetime TV. “The kind of illnesses and issues we have talked about here – from euthanasia to organ donation – that is not possible on television,” says Harleen.

Apart from Sharad, Harleen, and Viraf, Doctors also stars Aamir Ali and Vivaan Shah. The show began streaming on Jiocinema on December 27.
