Ahead Of Their Wedding, Richa Chadha And Ali Fazal Talk To Femina About Being In Love
Actors Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal appear together on the cover of Femina’s September 2022 edition just a few weeks before their wedding. The Wedding Special edition, which was inspired by their love story and our shared adoration of weddings, not only gives us a sneak preview of the celebrities’ eagerly anticipated wedding day in the final week of September, but also celebrates the idea of enduring love and the happiness of community. Richa and Ali elucidate their relationship and artistic development through each image in the issue’s feature.
Richa and Ali reveal their relationship, one that is by no means balanced but one where they bring out the best in each other while looking stunning in outfits that are only enhanced by their easy, affectionate connection. Not at first sight, there was no love. Before meeting Richa on the Fukrey set, Ali had seen her in Gangs of Wasseypur and was already blown away by her presence. At the time, Richa felt differently about him as well, but as the proverb goes, love happens when love happens.
“I had always known him to be decent and respectful, but kinda naughty and also kinda nutty,” she reveals. “I could relate to his nutty side and I could also relate to the naughty side. Among the other boys in the group, I felt closest to him in terms of my mind, and I think that was the seed of it all.”
When discussing their long-awaited nuptials with Femina, the couple opens up about their first encounter, the type of ceremony they want, their ideal partner, and the several setbacks that forced them to reschedule their wedding.
Sharing her thoughts about unrealistic notions about marriage and the tropes around it, Richa Chadha stated, “There are other things in the world apart from marriage that one needs to focus on. I would like to tell other girls who are reading this, who want to get married to the man of their choice – this is not the most important day of your life. This is a very important day in your life. It could be the most beautiful day of your life, for sure; it could be the most heart-warming day of your life, but don’t place unnecessary importance by saying that this defines you.”
Unveiling his deepest thoughts, Ali Fazal said, “I don’t think I can take you through my love story because it is one of the most beautiful personal journeys of my life, but I can tell you that it is a liking that is unmatched in the life that I have lived until now.”
