Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa are soaking in the unfiltered beauty of Aotearoa New Zealand, swapping studio chaos for crisp air and golden autumn landscapes. Choosing New Zealand for its raw, authentic charm, the couple has been spotted wandering through art-filled vineyards at Brick Bay, where they paused to admire towering wind chimes singing in the breeze. Always up for a playful moment, they even recreated Michelangelo’s ‘Creation of Adam’ on a quirky social distancing bench, adding their signature touch of humour to the trip.

Their journey has been as meaningful as it is scenic — from lakeside moments surrounded by fiery autumn foliage to conversations with local Māori guides and conservationists at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari. A helicopter ride over Taupō’s geothermal wonders capped off the adventure, giving them a fresh perspective of nature’s drama from above. “Love, laughter, and a touch of adrenaline — this was truly a date in the sky, New Zealand style; something we can check off our bucket list,” Rajkummar told Patralekhaa as they touched down.
