Like every actor, Ali Fazal must have had unusual fan encounters during his career span, but little did he know that he would be called a python someday. Well, recently, Ali couldn’t help but react when a fan called him ‘Ali Ajgar (python)’ instead of Ali Fazal. The actor talked about this hilarious incident on social media. For the unversed, Ali Asgar is another popular actor, who works in television.

On Friday afternoon, Ali was dropping his wife Richa Chadha at the Mumbai airport, and they got recognised by a few fans. But one of the fans, a lady, yelled Ali’s name but called him ‘Ali Ajgar.’ This made Ali laugh, but he tried to control it. The female fan even came close to Richa, and said, “Kitne pyaare lag rahe ho (You are looking so sweet).” The ‘Fukrey’ couple certainly looked uncomfortable with the fan encounter. 

Nonetheless, Ali shared the episode in a note on Instagram. He wrote, “Today’s name warp was legendary: I was frantically called Ali Fazal which with some froth and desperation has morphed into Ali ‘Ajgar’ aka Python. So I hissed a little instead of the usual ‘cheese’ maybe only I noticed the hiss but it was hissarious.”

Ali and Richa met on the sets of 2012 release ‘Fukrey’, and tied the knot in 2020. However, in October 2022, they hosted receptions in Mumbai, Delhi and Lucknow.

In an interview with GQ, Ali talked about his marriage with Richa and said, “I’ve seen very few marriages work in my life, so I’d like to disprove that. But aside from that, there’s something spiritual I share with Richa. And I thank her for that because she’s made me more spiritually aware than I was before.”
