‘Ali Fazal's family prepares separate dishes for Jains during Eid': Richa Chadha opens up about her ‘exciting' inter-faith marriage with the actor
One of Bollywood's most beloved power couples, Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, are all set to celebrate their third wedding anniversary. Although the industry has long seen actors marrying in real life, what makes this couple special to the audience is that they are both outsiders with no prior connection to the industry whatsoever and made it big solely through their hard work. Following their wedding in 2022, the couple welcomed a baby girl in 2024, thus taking a new and even bigger step in their personal lives. Last month, the first-time parents had also penned a heartwarming post on the occasion of their daughter Zuneyra's birthday, reflecting on the impact her arrival had on their lives and how she changed them for the better. As they revel in all the joy and love, Richa opened up about being in an interfaith marriage with Ali, which she described as an 'exciting' experience. Taking part in the eighth edition of The Indian Express' Expresso, she said, 'I love being in an interfaith marriage, and it's exciting. I get to learn so many new things. Also, my dad is Punjabi and my mom is Bihari. So that in itself was a unique combination when they got married in the '80s. Between Ali and me, even though we are very secular, progressive and spiritual people, we do things with the other person's religion because it's just amazing.' Richa further mentioned that she loves visiting Ali's ancestral home in Lucknow during Eid, noting that people from all faiths come together there to mark the occasion and celebrate the festival. 'Not just Muslims, everyone comes there on Eid to eat biryani or yakhni pulao. They also prepare a separate set of dishes for the Jains who live across the road. It's wonderful to see them sitting around, and Ali's 90-year-old grandmother will make paan. The whole mahaul is so joyous,' she shared. She shared that Ali also embraced all the Hindu festivals like Diwali and Bhai Dooj that her family celebrates. 'He was so happy. Recently, he came dancing to a big fat Punjabi wedding, and he was just showered and smothered in love,' she shared. Going a step further, Richa also spoke about what she believes to be the biological benefits of promoting marriages outside one's own community. 'I think we must take a cue from nature. In nature, the main cause of congenital diseases is inbreeding. What does that mean? That means that nature wants you to share and spread. That's how you evolve and grow.' The eighth edition of Expresso was presented by HSBC in association with Taj Lands End, Mumbai, Seetu Kohli Homes as the Luxury Partner, Chambers of Kartik Seth as the Knowledge Partner, and Radico as the Celebration Partner.

Pati Patni Aur Panga: Debinna Bonnerjee revisits three weddings with Gurmeet Choudhary; says 'Each shaadi was a different version of us, and each equally special'
When it comes to love stories that deserve their own movie, Gurmeet Choudhary and Debinna Bonnerjee's tale takes the cake, and the varmala. During the upcoming episode of 'Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check', the fan-favourite couple revealed a shocker that's left everyone talking - they've gotten married three times. And each wedding is a story in itself. Hosts Sonali Bendre and Munawar Faruqui , visibly moved, brought out a rare photo from Gurmeet and Debinna's very first wedding, a hush-hush ceremony at a small temple, witnessed only by three friends and five pandits. There were no guests, no families, no décor, just two young hearts deciding that they were each other's forever. What followed years later was a grand wedding complete with all the rituals and loved ones. That's when fellow contestant Abhinav Shukla revealed that he had attended their second shaadi and had danced with full energy. Talking about the rollercoaster romance, Debinna shares, 'I truly believe I manifested Gurmeet. I was just 19 when we got married for the first time. It was impulsive, magical, and completely ours. We were standing in front of a small mandir with a few close friends, five pandits, and hearts full of love. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like With temperatures hitting 95°F, this is the mini air conditioner everyone's buying in the U.S News of the Discovery Undo Nobody knew, not even our families. Years later, when we got married again with all the rituals, it was like life giving us a chance to celebrate the same love on a bigger scale. I remember putting the varmala on him in front of our family and friends. I was overwhelmed. It wasn't about grand gestures; it was about love that kept evolving. Each shaadi was a different version of us, and each equally special. And now, years later, to still be able to look at each other and say 'yes' again, that's rare.' Reflecting on the weddings, Gurmeet adds, 'When she asked me on a call if I'd marry her, I didn't even blink. I was on my bike, but I turned around, got a mangalsutra, found some pandits, and we just went for it. That first wedding was raw and real. No cameras, no pressure, just love. The second one gave me the chance to give her the celebration she deserved. I applied sindoor, tied the mangalsutra properly, and saw our families and friends dancing, even Abhinav was part of it. And to be able to stand in front of each other again years later and say, 'I still choose you' not once, but three times, that's something rare. I feel blessed I got to do that with her.'
