Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha, who met on the sets of their film ‘Fukrey’ in 2012, soon fell in love. They have been legally married since 2020, but they celebrated their union in 2022 with festivities across Delhi, Mumbai, and Lucknow. The couple welcomed their daughter, Zuneyra Ida Fazal, in July 2024.

On the work front for Ali, the actor was recently seen in the Prime Video series ‘Raakh’. He portrayed the character of SI Jayprakash Jatav, having received much love and praise from his fans. The actor expressed gratitude after the crime thriller emerged as the platform’s most-watched non-English title globally.

Sharing the note on social media, Fazal said he has been overwhelmed by the response the series has received over the past few weeks. “Last few weeks I’ve been reading so many messages from all over and my heart is full to say the least. Thank you for watching Raakh. Thank you for accepting SI Jayprakash Jatav, with all his flaws, his presence, his fears, his silences and his few words,” he wrote.

The investigative thriller also features Sonali Bendre and Aamir Bashir in lead roles, along with Akash Makhija, Ramandeep Yadav, Divya Sharma, Vivaan Sharma, Anshul Chauhan, Rakesh Bedi, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in pivotal roles. (ANI)
