Their unique quirks, distinctive voices, and fearless approach to life and artistry have endeared them to audiences worldwide.
In an industry often characterized by glamour and glitz, Richa and Ali stand out as voices of authenticity and originality. Their decision to create RiAlity stems from a desire to share an unfiltered, candid account of their wedding journey. This documentary is not just a celebration of love, but a raw, introspective exploration of the emotional complexities that accompany the union of two working-class actors who have risen to Bollywood stardom. A lot of fictionalised weddings seen in the past have been choreographed well enough to set a dreamy goal . Which while it is special , it’s also a day that is layered with a barrage of emotions and planning every step of the way.
“Weddings are often portrayed as fairytales, but the reality is a mix of emotions – joy, anxiety, excitement, and everything in between. Our documentary, RiAlity, is a heartfelt attempt to capture the genuine essence of our wedding experience. Our wedding was a tapestry woven with threads of every emotion imaginable. RiAlity is our attempt to unravel the complexities of that experience. It’s a mirror reflecting the reality behind the glitz, a candid portrayal of two individuals from humble beginnings”, said Richa Chadha.
Ali Fazal added, “We are laying bare our emotions, the struggles, and the triumphs that came with planning this union. RiAlity is a testament to the fact that love is not always perfect, but it is always enough . Love is profound, it is messy, and yet worth movinng worlds for. RiAlity captures some of the essence of our journey, not just as actors but as two regular people in love. We wanted to give you all a glimpse of the effect of this not just through us but through the gaze of the people around us. This document is our way of saying, ‘This is us – flaws, dreams, and all. And there is a bit of you in us and a bit of us in all youse.”
