He expressed his admiration for her act, saying it will remain imprinted in his memory forever, and deemed it as ‘exceptionally inspiring’.

Today on Instagram (September 6), Rajkummar Rao posted a heartfelt video from IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack, highlighting an emotional scene of his wife, Patralekhaa. As the actor from Stree 2, he was moved by her performance and conveyed his pride and admiration in the post, labelling the scene as unforgettable. He further acknowledged her inspiring talent by saying, “You truly inspire me @patralekhaa. I’m so proud to be your husband.” His emotional message is undeniably setting high standards for couples everywhere.

Here, the character Patralekhaa, playing flight attendant Indrani, finds herself emotionally overwhelmed when pleading with a hijacker to contact her family. Her intention is to receive assurance that her father is unharmed.

Previously, Rajkummar shared a backstage photo of Patralekhaa from her new series IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack on Instagram Stories. He commended her acting, calling it exceptional and echoing the same positive feedback from critics. With obvious pride, he applauded her work and affectionately expressed his admiration for her.

For those not familiar, the newly launched Netflix show has stirred up disagreement soon after its premiere. The commotion started on social media platforms, where there were intense requests for a boycott and insistence that the creators alter the names of the hijackers from Shankar and Bhola to their actual names. Critics claimed that the series tried to inappropriately protect terrorists who are connected to a particular group, sparking accusations of offensive representation. This dispute led the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting to call for a meeting with Netflix India’s content chief.

Under the guidance of director Anubhav Sinha, this compelling series delves into the harrowing tale of Indian Airlines IC-814’s hijacking on December 24, 1999, orchestrated by five terrorists. These individuals, identified as Ibrahim Athar, Sunny Ahmed Qazi, Zahoor Ibrahim, Shahid Akhter, and Sayed Shakir, seized control of the aircraft approximately 40 minutes after it took off from Kathmandu, bound for Delhi. The acting skills of Patralekhaa have been lauded by viewers for her moving portrayal of an air hostess. Her performance showcases a protective instinct and profound emotional bond with the passengers, treating them with the nurturing care and affection one would extend to their own children.
