Ali Fazal Unscripted!
Wedding Affair|October/November 2016

Fazal has no pre-written scripts, or filters to control the outflow of his emotions. He paints a vision in my head, as his words flow from the depths of his heart in the answers he pens down, in between his hectic schedule. And the picture seems as ‘real’ as it can get!

Ali Fazal Unscripted!

Was becoming an actor always ‘the Dream’?

“If I was growing up in a suitable environment, I would have probably picked up clues from the Universe that I was growing up to become an actor.” And he immediately justifies how, “I was one heck of a storyteller. What’s the right word? Yes! Jugaadu. But back then, I had no clue. I studied science and economics and was sincerely indulged in sports.” Everyone has a before and an after in their life and Fazal delves deeper, as he shares the moment that changed the course of his life. “I broke my shoulder while participating in a basketball match. That was it, the end of my sporty dream. I took the road to acting, when I did my first play, during my time in The Doon School.” He excitedly calls the experience an incurable disease. “The high and the power of controlling the emotions of my audience with my performance was like a 3D version of all the wizard stories I’d heard from my mother while growing up.” Fazal confirms to have continued strolling the lane from boarding school to college in the ‘geek’ avatar until one day, when he received a call from Raju Hirani, the Director of 3 Idiots, who spotted him, during a play performance at Prithvi (theatre).
