Richa Chadha, celebrated for her powerful performances in films like Fukrey and Masaan, has just added another milestone to her journey—parenthood with her husband, Ali Fazal. The couple, who first met on the sets of Fukrey in 2012, have captivated fans with their heartwarming love story that transitioned from on-screen camaraderie to real-life romance.
Their story began in 2012 when Fukrey brought them together. Richa’s bold portrayal of Bholi Punjaban and Ali’s charming role as Zafar set the stage for a lasting friendship. It wasn’t until 2015 that whispers of their relationship began to circulate. Despite keeping their romance under wraps initially, their bond only grew stronger over the years.
Ali proposed to Richa during a romantic getaway to the Maldives in 2019. With a picturesque beach as the backdrop, Ali popped the question, and, in a humorous twist, fell asleep shortly after, overwhelmed by the moment. The couple fondly recounts this episode, which perfectly encapsulates their light-hearted and grounded relationship.
Richa and Ali opted for a low-key wedding in 2020 under the Special Marriage Act due to pandemic restrictions. While the celebrations were subdued at the time, the duo hosted grand festivities in 2022 in Delhi and Lucknow, blending traditional and contemporary elements. Their wedding was a testament to their shared love for family, culture, and simplicity.
The couple often supports each other’s creative endeavors. Richa has expressed immense pride in Ali’s work, notably his role alongside Judi Dench in Victoria & Abdul. Ali, in turn, admires Richa’s fearless approach to acting and social issues. Their relationship thrives on mutual respect and shared values, making them one of Bollywood’s most admired couples.
In July 2024, Richa and Ali became parents to a baby girl. This new chapter has brought them immense joy, with the couple expressing gratitude for their journey together. Despite their busy schedules, they remain dedicated to family, prioritizing their roles as parents alongside their flourishing careers.
Both Richa and Ali continue to make waves in the film industry. While Richa is involved in impactful projects, including her production ventures, Ali is working on international films and series, further cementing their global appeal. Together, they balance professional achievements with their personal milestones, embodying a modern love story filled with authenticity and warmth.
As Richa Chadha celebrates her birthday, her journey from Fukrey to becoming a mother alongside Ali Fazal inspires countless fans, showcasing the beauty of love, resilience, and shared dreams.
