Sharing the throwback photo, Ali Fazal expressed gratitude to Dia Mirza in his caption, stating, “#Throwback to the first time I met him. God, I remember how you, @diamirzaofficial, took me there. I can’t thank you enough. I was too shy to ever step into a room to take autographs and photos with people I admire. I’m still very socially awkward when I have to play myself. Lol. But to greatness and its infection.”
