Bollywood actress Richa Chadha recently opened up about her personal journey in love and her evolving relationship with husband and fellow actor Ali Fazal, during an insightful conversation with Karan Johar on his new podcast, Live Your Best Life with Karan Johar.
Speaking candidly, Chadha reflected on how their relationship blossomed from a deep-rooted friendship formed during the filming of Fukrey. “Ali and I were friends before we started dating,” she shared. “This is literally from one of your films — ‘pyaar dosti hai’ (love is friendship),” she said to Karan, referencing the iconic line from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
The actress also spoke emotionally about how love has changed her as a person. “I have no shame in saying this, Ali makes me enjoy being a woman,” she said. “His presence in my life has softened me. My guard has come down, and even my level of rage has come down.” She went on to describe how her outlook has shifted over time, adding, “I look back and think, I used to be so angry, and now I laugh at the things that once triggered me.”
The episode is part of Karan Johar’s debut into the audio space with Live Your Best Life with Karan Johar, currently streaming on Audible.in. The series brings Johar’s signature blend of charm, honesty, and depth to the podcast world, offering listeners authentic conversations with influential voices from entertainment, business, wellness, and beyond.
In a separate update, Johar recently introduced fans to a new member of his family on Instagram, a pet dog named Nugget. Sharing joyful pictures of his children, Yash and Roohi, with their furry companion, Johar wrote, “He has been with us for 6 months and has given us so much joy and love… we want you to meet the newest member of our family.”
