Ali Fazal shares heartfelt note on mother’s death anniversary, says he dreads this day every June | Hindi Movie News
On June 17, 2020, Ali Fazal lost his mother to health issues, a loss that also felt like losing a part of his own youth. Each year, this date brings a wave of sorrow for him, but he also takes time to consider the struggles others may be facing around the world.Emotional Instagram TributeTaking to Instagram, the actor shared a few throwback photos of his mother and a childhood photo of himself. He penned a heartfelt note, “There are two people I had to say goodbye to this day 5 years ago- One my mother and the other that little boy me.. ( or as I see Ali today but without a version of Him in recorded past). And it’s so funny – that another part comes in swinging from the ends of the universe and gently attaches itself to me now. I am blessed. Another me? Another you? God knows. Anyway, I put this out because I, a mere mortal dread this day every June… because it was my loss. It’s mine. My me. So I stop to think and contemplate – like if i could disect this moment and hit pause for a bit… and then transport to a place inside the head of let’s pick any one person in a part of the world ( that’s easy we know where) – who on a friday afternoon sits but in utter dread for the whole of June that has weirdly lasted maybe 2 years? 20-200 and boom, this person loses his whole family just like that… For cinematic effect, let’s call it ‘in a flash.’”Empathy and Reflection on LossHe further wrote, “I am like a fly on that wall, much like most of us through social media today we have seen it all. Then in a miraculous way, I switch back to where I hit pause (remember?) – now my feeling of loss is doubled up with an empathy of a universal kind? Or is too much hands-on knowledge of loss that should lessen the effect of what is considered Mine? Or am I told ‘Hhey dude, don’t take the world’s guilt upon urself.’ Naah I dont buy any of it. I should shut up and carry on moving mountains. Am I though? Are you? We both could though.”Upcoming Film ProjectAli Fazal is currently preparing for the release of his upcoming film ‘Metro…In Dino’, directed by Anurag Basu.
