When asked if they faced criticism when they initially decided to get married, Richa recently spoke with the popular entertainment portal, “If you stand firm with your choice and your immediate family is with you and supportive of you, nobody else really matters. And like I said, a human being is a human being first and when you go and fall in love, your search has no filters on. When you fall in love, that’s what it is.”

In the same conversation, Richa recalled that she did not want her family to find out about her relationship with Ali through the press. “You know, we also have families. When I was ready to discuss this at home with my family, then I thought I will just come out,” she said.

Richa stated that when she wanted to go with Ali to the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of Victoria and Abdul, they decided to go public about their relationship.

“I remember I had to travel to be his plus one for the Venice Film Festival for (Victoria & Abdul) with Judi Dench. I was like… I am not missing your Judi Dench red carpet for the world. He was like but no one knows, so I said let’s just tell them now, it’s time,” she shared.

Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal revealed the actress's pregnancy in February of this year. The actress will always hold a special place in her heart for her most recent release, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, since it was during its filming that she got married Ali.

In a conversation with the popular news portal, she recalled, “I began shooting for Heeramandi literally 10-15 days before my wedding. And at that time, there was no thought of motherhood in the immediate future on my mind.”

She continued, “I don’t know what kind of upbringing I would want to give my child. It’s like I’m planning to write a novel and somebody already asking me what kind of a story I would want to write. You can’t say these things. This is all very new for me.”
