When Rajkummar Rao fired his cook for disrespecting wife Patralekha: 'Aap apna bag pack kijiye'

Rajkummar Rao addressed relationship dynamics on a comedy show, revealing how he defended wife Patralekha from a disrespectful cook.

Rajkummar Rao and Patralekha are one one of the cutest couple in the B-town. In a recent show, comedian Raunaq Rajani invited Rajkummar along with comedians Abish Mathew and Urooj Ashfaq to discuss relationship advice. The conversation went on to discussing home cooks and Rajkummar had an interesting story to share.

Rajkummar Rao and Patralekha have been married for four years.

In the show called RelashionShit Advice, Raunaq discussed how his chef doesn't regard his wife much, which borders on disrespect. He listens to only the male in the house and looks through his wife, but they haven't fired him because he is a good cook. Rajkummar jumped into the conversation and gave an example where he and wife Patralekha were facing a similar situation.

When Rajkummar fired his cook

“I’ll tell you an example from our house, and guys, see the difference. We had a cook, he must’ve been around 48. A great cook! For the first time in my life, I was getting some great Mexican vegetarian food. Otherwise it would just be some hari sabzi and rice (with his earlier cook),” Rajkummar said.

Rajkummar further said, "He made a great Mexican platter for me, and after two days, Patra told me, ‘Listen, this guy doesn’t talk nicely to me. I think there’s some issue’. And I could figure out. On the third day, when Patra asked him something, he made a face. But with me, he’d talk with a lot of respect. You know what I did? I called him and said, ‘Aap apna bag pack kijiye aur chale jaiye' (pack your bags and leave).”

The crowd applauded Rajkummar for taking a stand for his wife.
