Mumbai, June 17 (NationPress) Actor Ali Fazal honored the memory of his late mother on the 5th anniversary of her passing with a heartfelt post on social media.
The 'Fukrey' star shared that after the loss of his mother, he also had to bid farewell to a younger version of himself.
"There are two individuals I had to say farewell to five years ago on this day - one is my mother, and the other is that little boy who was me... (or as I perceive Ali today, but without a record of his past). It's amusing how another part of me emerges from the cosmos and gently connects with my present self. I feel fortunate. Another version of me? Another you? Only God knows. Regardless," he expressed.
Ali further revealed that it's not only this specific date that haunts him; the entire month of June is challenging. "I share this because, as a mere mortal, I dread this day every June... because it's my loss. It belongs to me. So, I take a moment to reflect - what if I could dissect this moment and pause for a moment... transporting myself into the mind of someone else in another part of the world (we know where) - who, on a Friday afternoon, sits in utter dread for the entire month of June, which bizarrely feels like it's lasted two years? 20-200, and suddenly, this person loses their whole family in an instant... for dramatic effect, let’s call it ‘in a flash’..." he continued.
The 'Mirzapur' actor elaborated on his grief and how it fosters empathy, stating, "I feel like a fly on the wall; just like many of us on social media today, we've witnessed it all... then, in a miraculous twist, I switch back to that moment I paused (remember?). Now, my grief is intertwined with a universal empathy. Or is it the abundance of experience with loss that should lessen my own pain? Or am I told, 'Hey dude, don't bear the world's guilt'? Nah, I don't buy any of it. Should I just remain silent and keep moving mountains? Am I? Are you? We both could, though."
Ali's mother passed away on June 17, 2020, in Lucknow due to health complications.
