On July 16, Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal joyfully welcomed their baby girl. Weeks after embracing motherhood, Richa reminisced about her pregnancy journey, sharing intimate black-and-white photos from her maternity shoot on Friday.
In one striking image, Richa is seen tenderly holding her baby bump, standing serenely by the seashore with her eyes closed. Another picture features Ali Fazal, lovingly touching her baby bump while leaning forward, both parents-to-be beaming with joy.
Captioning the heartfelt photos, Richa wrote, “Women – the sacred vessel of this divine cosmos. So much can change in a month. We shot this a month ago. Shivaji Storm Sen came over on a stormy day, with his sweet team. It rained so much that the electricity was out. We sat nursing hot cups of tea in the power cut. Thanks, Ali Fazal, you’re an anchor. RiALI cute.”
The post garnered warm reactions from friends and colleagues. Ali Fazal’s “Mirzapur” co-star Shriya Pilgaonkar commented, “Wowwww! Such gorgeous images.” Television actor Nakuul Mehta added, “So many congratulations you three.” “Jubilee” star Wamiqa Gabbi responded with a “Wow” and heart-eyed emojis, while actor Pulkit Samrat showered the post with red hearts.
Richa had previously shared more greyscale photos from her maternity shoot. One memorable image captured her lying on Ali Fazal’s lap, his hand resting on her baby bump. Her poignant note read, “What can a love so pure bring forth into the world, but a beam of light? Thank you for being my partner on this incredible journey Ali Fazal, through this lifetime, and many more, through starlights and galaxies… thank you for getting genius Rid Burman to shoot us in our natural habitat Kanika Gulati. May we bring forth a warrior of light, a child of compassion, empathy, healing, and above all love. Ameen!”
Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, who married in 2020, first shared the screen in the “Fukrey” series. Their journey from co-stars to life partners now includes the joy of welcoming their first child, marking a new chapter filled with love and light.
