Career

[edit | edit source]

Patralekha made her film debut in the drama CityLights, opposite Rajkummar Rao.[14] Directed by Hansal Mehta, the film tells the story of a poor couple living in Rajasthan who move to Mumbai in search of livelihood. Made on a low budget, the film became a box office success.[15][16] Sweta Kaushal from Hindustan Times said that Patralekha "slipped effortlessly" in her part. The film won her Screen Award for Most Promising Newcomer – Female.[17] Her next film was, Love Games, an urban-thriller directed by Vikram Bhatt and produced by Mukesh Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt.[7][18] Patralekha played a woman who lust for a man. It received negative reviews and was a box office failure.[19]

In 2017, Patralekha made her web debut with Bose: Dead/Alive opposite Rajkummar Rao. For the series, she received iReel Award for Best Actress - Drama nomination.[20] In the next year, Patralekha first appeared in the series Cheers. Patralekha then played a ghost opposite Abhay Deol in Nanu Ki Jaanu.[21] Many critics found her part in the film to be "negligible".[22] In 2019, Patralekha played a surrogate mother opposite Divyendu Sharma in the Zee5 film Badnaam Gali and received positive response for her performance.[23][24]

After appearing in the 2020 series Forbidden Love, Patralekha played an aspiring actress in the 2021 series Mai Hero Boll Raha Hu, opposite Parth Samthaan. Archika Khurana of Times of India stated, "Patralekha raises the oomph factor as Laila and shares a sizzling chemistry with Parth."[25] In 2022, she played an activist-doctor in the series Teerandaz. Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV noted, "Patralekha delivers in the scenes that matter. If only there were more such moments, her performance might have acquired greater depth and range."[26]
