Richa's message was a direct response to the unnecessary hate aimed at Sonakshi and Zaheer.

Richa Chadha On Her Interfaith Marriage With Ali Fazal:

Richa Chadha just like Sonakshi Sinha got legally married in 2020 to Ali Fazal using the Special Marriage Act, which allows couples from different religions to marry. They celebrated their wedding in 2022. Richa and Ali come from liberal families who did not pressure them about their interfaith marriage. Richa once shared that they had a fantastic time at their wedding and did not care about societal opinions. She then described their legal wedding as peaceful and noted that such marriages are common, despite media making a big deal out of them.

The couple met on the set of "Fukrey" and fell in love. Due to the pandemic, they postponed their wedding celebration to 2022. Not Richa is expecting her first child with Ali.

Meanwhile, Sonakshi also responded to the trolls by resharing a post from Prasad Bhat, an artist known for his customised art work. The post featured a picture of her and Zaheer and said, "Love is the universal language." Sonakshi added to her Instagram Stories, ¡°Truest words!! This is adorable! Thank you.¡±
