Ali Fazal Pens Emotional Note On Mother’s Death Anniversary

Ali Fazal shared an emotional note on June 17 to mark the death anniversary of his mother. Taking to Instagram, he posted a series of unseen photos of her, opening up about the pain he still carries five years after her passing.

“There are two people i had to say goodbye to this day 5 years ago- One my mother and the other that little boy me.. ( or as i see Ali today but without a version of Him in recorded past) . And its so funny – that another part comes in swinging from the ends of the universe and gently attaches itself to me now. . I am blessed. Another me? Another you? God knows,” Ali wrote.

He reflected on the void left behind, describing the day as one he “dreads every June.” The note further read, “Anyway I put this out because i , a mere mortal dreads this day every June.. because it was my loss. Its mine. My me.. so i stop to think and contemplate. – like if i could disect this moment and hit pause for a bit… and then transport to a place inside the head of lets pick any one person in a part of the world ( thats easy we know where) – who on a friday afternoon sits but in utter dread for the whole of June that has weirdly lasted maybe 2 years? 20-200 and boom, this person loses his whole family just like that.. for cinematic effect lets call it “in a flash.”

Richa Chadha responded to the post by commenting, “Always beside you,” while Arjun Kapoor dropped heart emojis.

Meanwhile on the work front, Ali is gearing up for the release of Metro… In Dino, which is set to premiere on July 4.

Directed by Anurag Basu, Metro… In Dino is a heartfelt yet contemporary exploration of modern relationships. The film features Aditya Roy Kapur, Konkona Sen Sharma, Sara Ali Khan, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher, and more.
