Nazriya Nazim on Fahadh Faasil Being an Introvert

Nazriya Nazim recently spoke out about her marriage to husband and talented actor Fahadh Faasil, revealing how their relationship operates behind the scenes. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Nazriya discussed that far from the quiet public persona he presents, Fahadh is anything but an introvert at home.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2014 after a year of dating, have found a rhythm in their marriage by simply letting each other be. “At home, he is not at all an introvert,” Nazriya shared. “There are days when both of us can be introverts or extroverts—it’s all about balance.”

She added: "For Fahadh, anything with more than seven people is a party. But if you ask his friends, they'll tell you he's not quiet at all. He's always the one telling stories when we're together."

Renowned for his all-consuming performances in the Malayalam and Tamil film industries, Fahadh is known for completely immersing himself in his characters. Yet, as Nazriya told us, that intensity doesn't reach their home anymore. "We've come to a stage where he realizes he cannot take his characters back home," she chuckled. "If at any point he ever did attempt to act like Shammi from Kumbalangi Nights at home, then he knows I would never let this pass!

Nazriya also talked about how she's seen Fahadh change as a person over the last decade. "He's in a different space now. Before, his whole life was about cinema. Now, he wants to do other things as well."

Fahadh Faasil has enjoyed a good run at the box office this year, particularly with Malayalam blockbuster Aavesham and his supporting role with Rajinikanth in Vettaiyan. Next, audiences will spot him in Pushpa 2: The Rule, the eagerly awaited sequel of Allu Arjun and Sukumar's directorial venture, releasing on December 5.
