Ali Fazal how his perception towards life & cinema changed after arrival of his baby girl
Mumbai, May 28
Bollywood actor Ali Fazal, in a promo of actor and host Shekhar Suman's show 'Shekhar Tonite', was seen talking about the transformation in his life that came with fatherhood.
Ali Fazal, on the show, appeared in an entirely different light in the third episode of the show.
During the conversation, when Shekhar Suman asked him, "How is life?" Ali responded with a perspective that instantly turned him emotional and poetic.
Speaking about becoming a father, the actor shared how his understanding of life, cinema, and even human emotions had now completely changed after the arrival of his daughter.
Talking about fatherhood, Ali Fazal said, "I think life has changed completely, 360 degrees. Fatherhood is definitely something that, no matter how much you talk about it, no matter what you say, it sounds cliché but it is as pure as it gets."
He added, "The basic difference is the way I perceive the world now, and even cinema. Whenever I look at my daughter... if there's a child playing in the middle of a drawing room, everyone's attention automatically goes there. And this has always been my observation. Why does that happen? Because their instinct is so pure, and it is so much in sync with the rhythm of nature."
The actor then beautifully connected children with cinema and storytelling, saying, "Every thought changes just with a blink. It's like an edit she would blink, and everything would change. It's simple, and I thought, wow... this is total focus. It's pure cinema because it's unpredictable. And it's cute, and it creates its own music, its own world around it... and sometimes very loud too."

Honestly, this is the kind of content we need more of in Bollywood interviews - genuine, heartfelt, and away from the usual gossip. Ali's observation about children drawing everyone's attention in a room is so true! It's that innocence that reminds us what's real in life. His daughter is lucky to have such a reflective father. 🙏
As a new mom myself, I completely connect with what he's saying. Every single thing changes - how you see the world, how you prioritize, even how you watch films! But I wish he had mentioned his wife Richa Chadha too. She's been through this journey alongside him, and her perspective would be equally valuable. Still, happy to see a Bollywood dad talking about fatherhood so openly. 👶✨
This is so refreshing! 💫 In an industry obsessed with box office numbers and controversies, here's an actor talking about the simple beauty of fatherhood and how it connects to his craft. The way he describes his daughter's unpredictability as 'pure cinema' - that's not something you hear every day. Honestly more celebrities should have these conversations. It humanizes them.
Respect for Ali for being so open and emotional about fatherhood. 😇 Too often in Indian society, men are discouraged from showing such vulnerability. But this is what real strength looks like - acknowledging how a tiny human can completely transform your worldview. His daughter will grow up proud to have a dad who speaks so beautifully about her. Good on him!
