Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa Welcome Baby Girl, Name Her Parvati Paul Rao
Actors Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa stepped into parenthood in November 2025, welcoming their first child on November 15—a date that made the occasion even more special as it fell on their fourth wedding anniversary. Fans had been eagerly awaiting updates from the couple, and on January 18, 2026, they finally shared the big news.
Through a heartfelt Instagram post, the couple introduced their daughter, Parvati Paul Rao, along with a tender close-up of the baby’s tiny fingers held by both parents, symbolizing love, warmth, and togetherness. Their caption read: “With folded hands and full hearts, we introduce our greatest blessing,” accompanied by heart and folded-hands emojis.
The Meaning Behind the Name
The name Parvati comes from Sanskrit, meaning “daughter of the mountains.” In Hindu mythology, Goddess Parvati is the wife of Lord Shiva and the mother of Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartikeya. She represents strength, compassion, grace, and emotional balance, making it a name imbued with spiritual significance. The surnames Paul and Rao honor Patralekhaa’s and Rajkummar Rao’s family lineages, tying tradition with personal meaning.
The couple has been together for over a decade, marrying in November 2021 in Chandigarh, and this birth marks a joyful milestone in their journey together. Reflecting their happiness, they previously shared, “We are over the moon. God has blessed us with a baby girl. The greatest blessing God has given us on our 4th wedding anniversary.”
