In a recent interaction with Raj Shamani podcast, he shared interesting anecdotes, and his relationship with his wife. Rao spoke about a time when he almost ran from the Mumbai airport to Andheri while it was raining so that Patralekha would not have to wait for him.
Talking about how he does not like to keep people waiting, Rao shared, “I don’t like to keep people waiting for me,” he also recalled the incident syaing, “It was pouring that day and there was a lot of traffic jam, bridge vaghera bhi nhi bane the tab( there were no bridges and flyovers at the time), and I said, I can't get late. She is waiting for me, toh( so) I ran almost from there to here."
When asked what is the craziest thing he has done for Patralekha, he recalled an anecdote from the time of ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’.
Rao siad, "Aisa kuch tha ki mera half day ka break tha. Mujhe laga ki main Patra ko surprise karta huin, to aise via karke flight thi, Lucknow to Delhi, Delhi to Guwahati, and then by road, you go to Shillong. I said, I am going to take this chance. Aaj 4 baje packup hua aur call time hai 2 baje, next day, toh maine kaha nikal jata huin. Pahunch jaonga kaise kaise karke. And, main unke sath ek ghanta tha. And, she was like, you have come all the way to Shillong from Lucknow for 1 hour. I said, yeah, I just wanted to meet you. I wanted to see you. And, then I came back." (There was something, that I had a half-day break. I thought of surprising Patra, so I decided to travel via flight: Lucknow to Delhi, Delhi to Guwahati, and then by road to Shillong. I said, I will take this chance. I finished my work at 4 PM and the call time was 2 PM the next day, so I said I’ll leave now. I managed to reach somehow and spent an hour with them. And, she was like, "You came all the way from Lucknow to Shillong for just one hour?" I said, "Yeah, I just wanted to meet you. I wanted to see you." And then I came back.)
Rao also called Patralekha his best friend who has been there for him through all these years together.
