Richa Chadha On Her Influence On Ali Fazal: There’s Stability, He’s Well-Fed, Taken Care Of

Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha are all set for the next season of their podcast ‘Virus 2062’.

Bollywood actors Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal met during the shoot of ‘Fukrey’, and since the two have been together. The couple is now married as well, and apart from sharing the screen and co-voicing audio shows, Richa and Ali launched their production house recently as well. 

Talking about their camaraderie at work for the next season of their podcast ‘Virus 2062’, Ali told Indian Express that it is always amazing to work together, while Richa quipped how it’s delightful to wake up, get dressed and head to the same place. 

However, Richa maintained that they disagree a lot while working together, and have managed to be respectful till now. “I am sure one day there will be a time we aren’t,” she laughed. Ali, on the other hand, stated how they have a team, and everyone is working towards a creative output. “I love that we disagree as then we do come up with interesting solutions. That happened with our first film, and when I look at it, I feel happy and proud.” 

About their future projects, Richa revealed that they are working on a podcast that Ali is doing. However, he is ‘too slow’, and she’s afraid someone will steal his ideas.

When asked about the changes they have seen in each other after being together for too long, Richa mentioned, “Ali has a lot of muscles now. He looks happier, well-fed, taken care of and quite loved. I wonder what is the positive influence in his life. There’s stability and anchor in his life.” Ali laughed off by saying, “As for Richa, I think she has helped me become more aware of all these qualities.”

Meanwhile, coming to their Spotify series, it is an Indian adaptation of the Spanish podcast ‘Caso 63’. While Richa will return in the role of psychiatrist Gayatri Rajput, Ali will voice Peter Pereira as they both tackle the unreal situations that could destroy humanity and the world. 

Lastly, talking about the project, the couple discussed how technology can indeed take over the world. Ali revealed that Mantra (actor-producer Mantra Mugdh), a friend of his, called the couple for this, citing that we can give unique voices to these characters.

“It was an interesting thing that challenges you to take a tough dive into an unimaginable journey. The kind of story it is.. the future it presents.. is now kind of relatable after the pandemic but yet is unreal. It’s also a genre not explored vastly in India, especially on podcasts,” Ali signed off.
