Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal to ditch no-phone policy at their wedding, don't want to restrict guests

Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, who are tying the knot in October, have decided to not impose a no-phone policy at their wedding.

Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, who are just days away from tying the knot, have decided to not impose a no-phone policy at their wedding. The tradition of such ‘no-phone’ wedding ceremonies is very common among Bollywood celebrities, but Richa and Ali have decided to skip it as they want their guests to be at maximum ease and have fun.

Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha to not impose no-phone policy at their wedding.

Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal decided the wedding guests should have their phones on them as they would be more comfortable if they do not have any restrictions imposed on them, when they attend the wedding. However, the two did request guests to ditch their phones to have a good time at the wedding.

Their quirky wedding invitation card, which is themed around a matchbox, read, "Leave your phones and enjoy yourself. Don’t worry about capturing this moment on camera. Capture it in real time”.

Unlike Richa and Ali, several celebrities had a no-phone policy at their wedding in recent years. Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas, Deepika Padukone-Ranveer Singh, Katrina Kaif-Vicky Kaushal, and Varun Dhawan-Natasha Dalal reportedly had a no-phone policy at their wedding functions.

Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal first met on the sets of Fukrey in 2012 and started dating soon after. Ali proposed to Richa in 2019 after seven years of dating. They were previously planning to tie the knot in 2020, but the wedding was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

They recently confirmed on social media that they are planning to tie the knot in October. Their pre-wedding celebrations will start in a few days, at one of India's oldest clubs - the Delhi Gymkhana Club. The celebrations will conclude with a reception in Mumbai in October.

Their wedding card sees the actors riding bicycles in ethnic Indian outfits. While Richa is in a red saree, Ali is dressed in a formal look with a blazer, red tie, and white pants in the retro-themed invitation.
