Actor couple Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa recently took a vacation filled with ‘love, laughter, and a touch of adrenaline’.

Rajkummar and Patralekhaa specifically chose New Zealand for its nature and the locals. Art-filled vineyards, helicopter rides and more seem to have featured on their itinerary. They walked hand-in-hand at the installations and majestic windchimes at the Brick Bay Wine and Sculpture Trail just outside of Auckland. In a playful moment, Rajkummar and Patralekhaa even recreated Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam on a quirky Covid-era social distancing bench.

The couple also seemed taken by the country's unique golden and crimson-hued foliage, taking a moment to soak in the beauty of the lake. They also visited an ecological site called Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari, where native forest thrives behind the longest pest-proof fence. A local Māori guide, Ringi, and a conservationist named Jesse guided them along the way. “Love, laughter, and a touch of adrenaline — this was truly a date in the sky, New Zealand style; something we can check off our bucket list,” Rajkummar said in a statement.
