Richa Chadha has always been open about various aspects of her life, including her steady relationship with Ali Fazal, who is also her best friend and co-star of a few films. The two have been together for more than a year, so is there a plan to take the relationship to the next level?

Richa replied, “Planning our marriage will require a production team. Ali will have to bring in his team and I will have to rope in mine, because we’re both busy and at times, not even in the same time-zone. These days, he barely gets five days in a month to himself. It’s not like we are afraid to commit, but we have not had the time to even meet each other properly. For example, I have met him only for two days each in July and August. Sometimes, even travelling from Andheri to Bandra seems like a long-distance commute. Ali arrives in the city late at night, and I usually have an early morning shift, so we just video chat with each other. How do we plan marriage in such a situation?”

When asked how they spend their time together, the actress said, “Ali is my best friend and my first fan club. He never misses a chance to surprise me with a visit wherever I am. Whenever we are together, we indulge in a lot of fun activities — cooking, watching movies, working out and generally chilling.”
