Ali Fazal Reveals How His Relationship With Richa Chadha Began

When asked about finding a life partner in a friend circle, referring to his wife Richa Chadha, Ali Fazal said, “Bahut hi lamba khel tha woh, it was truly a beautiful ride. Some things were said, and it just got an instant ‘yes’ from both sides. I think, yes, it was a ‘yes’ from both ends.

He added, “And there was a bit of flexing going on too, like who writes better, who can twist words creatively, who plays with language more cleverly. So, I think slowly… I mean, in a way, she understands this world. She’s seen it; she’s a wonderful actor. And selfishly, I can say that I get to learn from her. I’ve learned so much. And yes, I also know her goofy side, oh yes, which is just, like, yeah.”
