Regarding the documentary, a close source to the actors explained, “RiAlity” stems from their desire to share an unfiltered, candid account of their wedding journey. Directed by Rahul Singh Datta, the documentary offers a unique perspective, as the couple was not interviewed during its making.

It’s a celebration of love, but also an examination of the day’s intricacies and the meticulous planning that went into every step.
Richa Chadha shared her thoughts, saying, “Weddings are often depicted as fairytales, but the reality is a mix of emotions – joy, anxiety, excitement, and everything in between. In our documentary, ‘RiAlity,’ we aim to authentically depict our wedding experience, a rich tapestry woven with myriad emotions. It’s an endeavor to unravel the intricacies, revealing the real story beyond the glamour. Ali Fazal emphasized that ‘RiAlity’ exposes our raw emotions, struggles, and victories in planning our union. It underscores that love isn’t always flawless, but it’s enduring. This documentary captures the essence of our journey, not just as actors but as two ordinary individuals in love. Through it, we share the impact not only from our perspective but also through the eyes of those around us. This document is our way of saying, ‘This is us – flaws, dreams, and all. And there is a bit of you in us and a bit of us in all you.'”
“RiAlity” delves beneath the surface, offering an intimate view of the couple’s lives, exploring the challenges they encountered, the dreams they pursued, and the aspirations that culminated in their grand celebration.
