Actor Ali Fazal follows up on his passion for horse riding, starts training for it in Mumbai. By Team Viva
Ali Fazal is someone who has a curiously active mind that’s always looking to seek out interesting ideas and possibilities. Today, it’s his passion that drove the actor to start learning horseback riding in Mumbai, a skill he’s been very fond of right from childhood days. According to Ali, horse riding is a very liberating and powerful experience.
The actor had learned how to ride a horse during his schooling days in Lucknow many years ago as a teenager. Recently, while visiting Lucknow, Ali chanced upon an opportunity owing to a family friend to reignite his passion and did a little bit of horse riding at his alma mater, the La Martinere School in his hometown.
Now that he is back in Mumbai and at a time when shoots are presently halted due to the pandemic, Ali has been diligently taking two classes a week of horse riding. The actor has ensured that all safety measures are in place.
Ali tells us, “I have waited to ride horses for a long time. To get back up, after falling, is something a rider will explain to you in full detail. (laughs) I hope I can learn well and make some horse friends in my life. We are abiding by all Covid-protocols to make sure I do it the right way.”
