Ali Zafar made women go weak in their knees with his charming acting in the film, Dear Zindagi. Well, while Ali has now recorded a prominent name as an actor, he had initially been passionate about music and art, two of his most loved fields of creativity. Speaking about his personal life which he likes to keep low-key, the handsome artist is happily married to his wifey, Ayesha Fazli. Well then, let us take a trip down memory lane and trace the history of Ali and Ayesha’s love story!
As aforementioned, Ali had been fond of art and in fact had a very good hand in it. But little did he know that it would be his passion that would lead him up to his soulmate one day. Well, it so happened that back in the days, Ali used to work as a commissioned sketch artist during his teenage days in the lobby of a hotel. It is here that he met Ayesha, who came across him to get her portrait made by him. Ali and Ayesha were completely smitten with each other in their very first meeting. Years later, Ali had shared the same portrait which he made for her on his social media handle and captioned:
“Oct 2000 this girl came to get her portrait made from me at a hotel lobby where I used to sit to draw. Guess who is she now?"

Soon enough, the duo started courting one another and it had been after getting to know one another quite well that they decided to introduce themselves to each other’s families. Interestingly, it was a cordial affair for both the families and neither of them had any objections with their match. Astoundingly, Ayesha’s parents had no clue about Ali’s fame, despite the fact that by then, he had been a reputed celebrity in Pakistan. Moreover, Ali bonded extremely well with Ayesha’s father, courtesy of their shared love for art. In an interview, Alia opened up on the same and mentioned how it made him all the easier to win the hearts of Ayesha’s parents. In his words:
“I was very lucky that my father-in-law was a big fan of music and movies. Actually, his dad used to make movies. Jab unse mila and he found out that I can sing, he was overjoyed. In fact, kya hua ki they didn't know that we were dating. So unhone kaha ki chalo gaana-vaana karte hai, doston ko bulate hain. Unhone mera gaane suna hi nahi tha usse pehle. Toh ho sakta tha ki main bahut bura singer hota and woh sab log aa jaate. But that night I sang on a little keyboard and people were sitting till 4 am and all his friends enjoyed a lot. And then I remember charming her mother by making a big lifesize portrait of her. I still have that. They're wonderful people."

Well, while the couple continue to enjoy their marital bliss even today, there was once quite a scary moment in their lives before marriage, which had shocked them to the core. Dating back to their courtship years in 2009, it was one fine evening as the duo headed out after a dinner date together when they were kidnapped by unknown men as they were on their way back home. The duo was released only when their family paid a hefty ransom amount for the same. Speaking about the same in an interview once, Ali refrained from recalling that horrific time and gladly mentioned that they had survived it anyhow. In his words:
“In 2009, me and Ayesha were kidnapped. We survived and don’t really talk about it.”
After their wedding in 2009, the couple extended their family as they welcomed their son, Azaan into their lives in 2010. The family later got completed with the birth of their baby girl, Alyza in 2015. Needless to say, the couple is hands-on and dedicated parents to their children, and have inculcated the best values in them. For instance, once in an interview, Ali opened up on the lesser-known facet of his life as a father and revealed how he his when it comes to children. In his words:
“Main aur Ayesha, baccho ko humne bas wo values di hai, pyaar, compassion, kindness, aur kabhi yeh nahi kaha ki tum kum ho, expectation se kum ho.”
When it comes to his personal life, Ali Zafar keeps his life all the more low-key. It became all the more distant for his fans back in India ever since the actor became a victim of the ban on Pakistani artists in India. Nevertheless, he is still accessible through his social media handles, along with that of his wifey. For instance, Ayesha had once dropped a candid moment of her husband as he prepared a meal for her in the kitchen. She captioned the special picture as:
“My husband the chef. Nothing beats a man who can cook. one of his many talents"
