Actor
Ali
Fazal
opened
up
about
his
boarding
school
experience
in
a
recent
interview,
and
added
how
it
helped
him
to
sail
the
lockdown
smoothly.
Ali
has
been
managing
his
household
with
no
help
during
the
lockdown.
IANS
quoted
Ali
as
saying,
"I
am
an
accidental
cook.
But
being
outside
home
and
living
in
boarding
school
has
made
me
realise
that
I
can
manage
well
on
my
own."
He
continued
that
during
his
early
teens,
when
he
first
went
to
Doon,
he
struggled
for
a
few
weeks.
Overtime,
it
became
enjoyable.
He
said
that
being
independent
has
its
advantages
and
is
liberating,
but
it
comes
with
enormous
responsibility.
He
also
talked
about
how,
as
he
grew
older
and
started
working,
he
started
wanting
a
better
life
for
himself.
Ali
said,
"So
living
in
an
unkempt
fashion
is
probably
glorified
in
pop
culture
but
I
am
way
past
that
phase
in
my
teen
years.
Home
is
your
safe
haven
and
I
have
accustomed
myself
to
maintaining
it
to
my
liking.
There
is
a
big
stigma
around
men
doing
housework.
But
aapka
ghar
toh
aap
hi
save
karenge
na?
Because
of
my
boarding
school
experience,
I
am
also
comfortable
being
by
myself.
I
love
my
people,
of
course.
But
I
want
them
and
not
need
them."
Ali
and
his
fiancé
Richa
Chadha's
wedding,
which
was
to
happen
in
April,
was
postponed
due
to
the
breakout
of
the
pandemic.
In
an
earlier
interview,
he
opened
up
about
missing
Richa,
and
how
he
wished
he
could
meet
her
during
quarantine.
