She never had plans to date a fellow actor. He never knew what was in store for him. And that is how love happened between Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha. The duo had shared screen space in Fukrey and that is exactly when rumours about a ‘possible’ love story brewing between them started to come by. And then came the time when Richa had flown off for the Venice Film Festival, to accompany Ali, which is exactly when both Ali and Richa confirmed that they are head-over-heels with one another. Both post ‘awww-dorable’ messages for one another on their birthdays and this time being, Richa’s birthday, Ali posted a beautiful wish for her.
December 18, 2019, Richa Chadha completed one year of her existence on this planet. And when it comes to Richa or Ali’s birthday, we all eagerly wait to see how the duo wishes each other on their birthdays. And as Richa turned a year older, her beau, Ali turned poet for him and posted a heartfelt message for her. The same could be read as “One of my all time favourite photographs of life.. I miss. Arey Mohabbat. Happy Birthday. Janm din mubaarak paartnar . dooree bhee ajeeb cheez hai - naee khair ajeeb nahin hai , main kuchh poetik likhana chaah raha tha iss mauqe pe. I guess , the photo says it all. Aur himmat bhi nahi hui... @therichachadha. “Yeh nahi jaanta kitna lamba hai safar.. Main shayad jaanta hoon kitna lamba hai safar. Kal bataaoonga. Tum milna . Waheen. Khaton ke teele pe . Kaagaz tumhaara hoga, kalam-dawaat meri, likhaayi tumhaari, chand bol mere, afsaane tumhaare, ghazlein meri, yeh silsila mera , yeh daastaan-e-mohabbat hamari!”- M.”
On last year’s birthday, when Richa Chadha had turned 32, her boyfriend, Ali Fazal had taken her on a surprise trip to the Maldives. It was a well-planned and executed holiday as a birthday present from Ali to Richa, who just wanted to spend some lone time with her beloved. However, the best part was that Richa had no idea where they were headed until the last moment of their trip. Isn’t it amazing?

It was on October 15, 2019, the day when Ali Fazal had turned a year older, when Richa Chadha had posted a heartfelt message for her beloved, with a birthday collage for him. The same could be read as “It’s nothing short of a miracle, that in this ridiculous, stupid world, I found you... you! A best friend, fan, peer, lover, critic, partner-in-crime rolled into one! I respect you as a man, a human and an artist. You are joy. You are perfection! Cheers to a love spread across the years, across continents...happy birthday dear Ali! There can be no other. God bless you!" To this, Ali had replied, "AY mohabbat!!! MY LOVEEEEE, YOU ARE THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE! I miss you here. I couldn't watch the whole video because it's making me miss you more.

In an earlier interview with Pinkvilla, Richa Chadha had bared it all out about love and dating Ali Fazal. She had stated, “I have had bad experiences with actors on outdoor shoots and I never thought I'll fall for an actor. But with this experience, I have learnt that never say never. What we like about each other is that we give each other space and as we both are actors, we understand the demands of the profession. And at the same time, we both are from middle-class families.” About how suitable Ali is for her, Richa had shared, “He is a great intellectual match for me, he is a well-read and educated guy. He has common interests like me - art, literature, music and photography. Sometimes we cook together and even workout together.” (Also Read: Rani Mukerji Reveals The Reason Behind Her Fights With Husband, Aditya Chopra)
Commenting on their marriage plans, Richa Chadha had shared, "I don't know about it and we don't want to give anyone that much access to our life. If it happens, it will be very private and for us. We are very fresh and new, we want to take it slow and be happy.” Ali too had revealed how he is faring in his love life with Richa. He had stated, “It’s our friendship, which grew over time. It’s so easy for everyone to fit us in a genre and label it love. Love is when we last, so the hope is that we arrive somewhere close to that. I just hope this is the last time I will be disclosing status on my personal life. We don’t want to jeopardise our little friendship. But am happy, I am very happy.”
Here’s wishing Richa, the happiest birthday ever!
