“I have nothing against him. But it had become transactionary. He also took care of me for which I am very grateful. I now try to look at the scenario from his point of view,” he added.

Talking about his late mother, the Mirzapur actor said, “My mother’s influence was very different. Unconsciously, I learnt everything from her. Weirdly, I recently got to know that she was an actor during her time in Aligarh University when her friend sent a picture of her acting in Bernard Shaw’s play. Childhood with her has been interesting because of her teda style of parenting.”

Recalling how his mother was an artiste, Ali Fazal revealed that the first story his mother told him during his childhood days was the film Godfather’s story. The actor said that years later, when he narrated the story to someone, he realized that it was Godfather’s plot. Ali then said that he is getting to know his mother, even more so, after her demise.
