Rajkummar Rao on baby girl bringing luck: It's our destiny, our hard work

Rajkummar Rao discusses fatherhood, credits destiny and hard work over baby's luck, and shares news about his new film Toaster with wife Patralekhaa.

"She's brought in, I am sure, a lot of love. But there's no pressure. It's our luck, it's our destiny, our hard work. - Rajkummar Rao"

Mumbai, April 20

Actor Rajkummar Rao, who embraced fatherhood a few months ago, addressed the belief that the arrival of his baby girl has brought luck into his life.

In an exclusive conversation with IANS, Rajkummar shared that while the timing of certain achievements of his life has been special, he does not necessarily attribute them solely to his daughter's birth.

"She's brought in, I am sure, a lot of love. But there's no pressure. It's our luck, it's our destiny, our hard work," he said.

The actor also highlighted that his daughter will have her own path to follow.

"She's a baby, she's our daughter. She has her own journey, so there's no pressure of her bringing in luck," he added, emphasising that he does not want to place expectations on her.

Rajkummar further recalled a significant moment that coincided with the birth of his first daughter.

He mentioned that the day their daughter came into their lives, his wife, actress Patralekhaa, won Best Actress for her movie, Phule.

"The day my baby girl was born, Patralekha won for Phule as the Best Actress," said Rajkummar, adding that he too won many awards after her birth.

For the uninitiated, Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa embraced parenthood and welcomed a baby girl on the 15th of November, 2025.

On the professional front, the star couple has been receiving good reviews for their movie Toaster. While Rajkummar is paired opposite Sanya Malhotra, Patralekhaa has stepped in as the producer for the project.

Toaster is Patralekhaa's debut project as a producer and it has been directed by Viveck Daschaudhary.

The movie also stars Archana Puran Singh.

It's nice that he acknowledges the hard work behind their success. The timing with the awards is a beautiful coincidence, but crediting destiny and effort is the right approach. Wishing their little one all the best!

Honestly, it's a bit of a mixed message. He says he doesn't attribute success to her, but then immediately lists all the awards that came after her birth. Feels like he's trying to have it both ways. Just my two paise.

What a lovely perspective. In many Indian families, the birth of a daughter is still seen through a superstitious lens. This is a mature and modern take. The focus should be on the love, not luck.

Good for him! A child is a blessing, not a lucky mascot. His wife winning Best Actress on the same day is such a cool story though. Must have been an incredibly special day for them. All the best to the new parents!

As a new mom myself, I relate to this so much. Everyone calls my son our 'good luck charm' after my promotion. But it's important to separate the two. The baby brings joy, our work brings results. Wise words from Rajkummar.
