Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal welcomed their baby girl on July 16. Weeks after becoming a mom, Richa walked down memory lane, retracing her steps back to her pregnancy days. On Friday, she shared a couple of unseen black-and-white pictures from her maternity photoshoot. The first click featured the actress embracing her baby bump. She stood in front of a seashore with her eyes closed. Ali Fazal made an appearance in the second snap. He touched the baby bump with one hand while leaning forward. The couple shared beaming smiles radiating joy.
In her caption, Richa tagged her husband and wrote, “Women - the sacred vessel of this divine cosmos. So much can change in a month. We shot this a month ago. Shivaji Storm Sen came over on a stormy day, with his sweet team. It rained so much that the electricity was out. We sat nursing hot cups of tea in the power cut. Thanks, Ali Fazal, you're an anchor. RiALI cute.”
Ali Fazal's Mirzapur co-star Shriya Pilgaonkar reacted to the post. “Wowwww! Such gorgeous images,” she commented.
