COVID lockdown rushed Richa-Ali wedding plans
30 May
Summary
- Wedding was rushed due to imminent COVID-19 lockdown announcement.
- Witnesses were hastily arranged, including a friend on a date.
- Original family wedding plans were postponed due to a personal loss.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal's wedding plans, turning a planned simple court marriage into a chaotic, last-minute event. In 2020, as the lockdown loomed, the couple received an urgent call from the court to marry immediately or postpone indefinitely.
This unexpected urgency led to a frantic search for witnesses, with one friend being called from a date with his girlfriend. Ali Fazal himself had to scramble for appropriate attire, with his assistant finding him a kurta just in time. The couple had initially intended to have their families present for the ceremony.
Their original plans included a larger celebration in April or May, with Ali's mother present. However, following his mother's passing, these plans were postponed. The couple eventually celebrated their union with a grand wedding in 2022, marking a joyous occasion with family, friends, and industry colleagues across multiple cities.
