Richa Chadha-Ali Fazal have given their newborn daughter a ‘beautiful’ name, claims Shabana Azmi; reveals Javed Akhtar wanted to call her Jwala

As an ardent follower of Bollywood, I can’t help but feel a warm and fuzzy sensation when witnessing such heartwarming moments like Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha welcoming their baby girl into the world. The visit from the illustrious ‘Dher Sara Pyaar’ circle, led by the legendary Shabana Azmi, only added to the family-like atmosphere that surrounded the new parents.


Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha delightfully announced the arrival of their daughter on July 16th. Shortly after, actors like Shabana Azmi, Urmila Matondkar, Tanvi Azmi, and Dia Mirza dropped by to meet the new parents, with pictures from the visit becoming a hit online. In a recent conversation, Shabana Azmi disclosed that her husband, Javed Akhtar, had proposed the name ‘Jwala Ali’ for the infant, inspired by Richa’s lively demeanor. Shabana remarked, “Javed suggested they named her Jwala Ali,” but added, “However, they have already chosen a beautiful name.”

Shabana shared with Hindustan Times that Richa Chadha is part of an intimate group named ‘Dher Sara Pyaar,’ comprising herself, Tanvi Azmi, Urmila Matondkar, Dia Mirza, Vidya Balan, and Konkona Sensharma. Although a few members couldn’t attend the gathering, it had the warm atmosphere of a family reunion filled with love and happiness.

Shabana mentioned that Sandhya Mridul, Konkona Sensharma, and Vidya Balan weren’t around because they were away from town. Originally, they had intended to organize a baby shower for Richa, but it didn’t happen. However, their visit turned out to be an opportunity to meet the newborn. Shabana characterized this group as a family, emphasizing that the happiness they feel together is similar to what you experience within a family circle.

Apart from praising Ali Fazal’s acting skills, the seasoned actress mentioned that he is exceptionally supportive of Richa and utterly smitten with their child. In fact, it appears as though he devotes all his attention to their daughter. Meanwhile, Shabana finds the baby adorable and has shared some glimpses into Richa’s motherhood.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d say I shared the tranquil scene of the baby sleeping soundly, almost like a celestial figure, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at Richa’s witty observation. She noted how different the baby’s calm demeanor was during the day compared to the fussiness that kept both Richa and Ali awake at night.

Richa and Ali, who tied the knot during the pandemic, hosted a lavish celebration in 2022 for their loved ones following their marriage. After two years, they made an exciting announcement – the birth of their daughter. In a shared statement, they conveyed their happiness by saying, “We are absolutely thrilled to share that our beautiful baby girl was born on July 16, 24th.”
