On June 17, Ali Fazal took to Instagram to share a poignant tribute marking the fifth anniversary of his mother's passing. He posted a collection of previously unseen photographs, expressing the deep sorrow he continues to feel.

In his emotional message, he reflected, “Five years ago, I had to say goodbye to two significant parts of my life—my mother and the younger version of myself. It’s intriguing how another aspect of existence seems to connect with me now. I feel blessed. Is it another version of me? Only God knows,” he shared.

Ali described the emptiness left by her absence, admitting that this day is one he dreads every year. He continued, “I share this because I, like many, dread this day in June. It’s a personal loss that weighs heavily on me. I often find myself contemplating this moment, wishing I could pause it and understand the feelings of someone else who might be experiencing a similar loss.”

The heartfelt post quickly garnered attention on social media, with fans and fellow celebrities expressing their support. Richa Chadha commented, “Always beside you,” while Arjun Kapoor shared heart emojis in response.

On the professional front, Ali is preparing for the upcoming release of 'Metro… In Dino,' which is scheduled to debut on July 4.

This film, directed by Anurag Basu, offers a contemporary look at modern relationships and features a talented cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Konkona Sen Sharma, Sara Ali Khan, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Anupam Kher.
