Rajkummar Rao calls wife his 'most honest critic'

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Rao said that it is important to be surrounded by honest people around you as it helps growing as an artist. He added that Patralekhaa is his most honest critic. 

"She would just tell me on my face if she hasn't like a film or a performance, which I think it's important to have that constructive criticism as it helps you to grow as an artist. Otherwise, if you are just doing something and feeling proud of everything that you are doing and people around you are like, 'oh this is the best thing you have ever done,' no growth, and without growth, I think there is no art," Stree 2 actor said.
