Rajkummar attended the award show to collect the trophy on Patralekhaa's behalf on Monday. The actress shared a video from the event and thanked her husband and 'best friend'.

In the video, shared by Patralekhaa, the Badhaai Do actor is seen on stage after receiving the award. He thanked the makers of Phule on behalf of his wife.

Rajkummar also said, "Thank you jury for thinking of Patralekhaa because I think she is such a wonderful actor. She didn't get too many opportunities but whenever she got them, she has killed it - be it Phule, IC814, Citylights and many more. And now, of course, I have to go to the hospital where both my darlings are waiting for me."

Sharing the video, Patralekhaa wrote, "Thank you so much for honouring me with the Best Actor Female for #Phule. Thank you @ananthmahadevanofficial @pratikgandhiofficial and @dancingshivaproduction and thank you my best husband @rajkummar_rao for receiving this prestigious award on my behalf."

Rajkummar captioned the post as, "The greatest blessing God has given us on our 4th wedding anniversary."

Rajkummar and Patralekhaa were in a relationship for around a decade, and on November 15, 2021, they tied the knot. After their wedding, multiple times there were speculations that the actress was pregnant. But, finally, in July this year, they announced that they are all set to become parents.
