Ali Fazal posted a few throwback pictures with his grandfather on the platform and wrote an emotional note as he bids farewell to him. In his note, the Mirzapur actor remembered how his grandfather took care of him. "He fathered me. He took me in from when I can remember because my parents were living separate lives.
