Ali Fazal reveals his daughter Zuneyra was already ‘emoting so much’ when she was 2-month-old, shares how she is helping him with his craft
Ali Fazal shares that his daughter Zuneyra was 'emoting so much' when she was just 2-month-old, and admits fatherhood has brought a 'significant shift' in his storytelling approach.
Bollywood's beloved couple, Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, welcomed their bundle of joy, a baby girl, on July 16, 2024. Just days later, the pair shared the heartwarming news with fans on Instagram. Earlier today, they revealed their daughter's name, Zuneyra Ida Fazal. Now, two months into fatherhood, Ali has reflected on the profound change in his approach to storytelling, sharing that the little one was already expressing so much at just 2 months old.
In an interview with Vogue, Ali Fazal opened up about his daughter, Zuneyra, marveling at how expressive she was at just 2 months old. He shared that her early displays of emotion have redefined the meaning of expression for him, adding a new depth to his own craft as an actor.
He said, "She's just two months old and already emoting so much. Expression now has a new meaning for me, and that's crucial for my craft.”
The Mirzapur 3 actor further reflected on how fatherhood is reshaping his creative lens, noting that his approach to future projects and storytelling will likely undergo a profound change. He shared, “The way I'll approach subjects in the future, the stories I'll tell-I can imagine there being a significant shift."
In the same interview, Richa Chadha shared that she chose not to dive deeply into parenting literature, wanting to keep her natural instincts intact. She acknowledged that while trusting her instincts may involve a bit of trial and error, it has proven effective.
Nurses helped her with the essentials, but caring for her daughter, Zuni, felt intuitive. The Heeramandi actress believes in letting nature guide her, observing what naturally works best for both herself and her little one—a method she’s found rewarding so far.
On the professional front, Richa Chadha was last seen as Lajjo in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, now streaming on Netflix. Meanwhile, Ali Fazal, fresh off Mirzapur 3, has an exciting lineup of films.
He’ll star in the period fantasy thriller Rakht Brahmand alongside Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Additionally, he will join the ensemble cast of Anurag Basu's Metro... In Dino, featuring Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur.
