Aly Goni is currently in Jammu with Jasmin Bhasin and his family to celebrate Ramzan. IN an interview with ETimes, he shares the experience of celebrating Ramadan during the pandemic restrictions and says, “Last year during this time, I was stuck in Mumbai with my cook due to the countrywide lockdown. I missed my family a lot, akele bahut difficult ho jaata hai. But when you are with your family, time ka pata hi nahi chalta. I thank god that I was able to come to my hometown before the lockdown this time. It’s like a blessing in disguise. The celebrations are of course not the same this year. We can’t go to the masjid to offer our prayers anymore. Kuch masjids khuli hain yahan par, but we don’t want to take any risk. I also miss going to iftar parties, unki alag raunak hoti thi. It’s not the same anymore.”
Aly further adds that this time he is especially praying for the COVID-19 situation, “ Kehte hain iss time jo dua maango woh qubool hoti hai. So I have been praying every day for everyone’s wellness. My first prayer is not for myself but for all those who are suffering. I hope that we come out of this situation soon,” he adds.
Jasmin, who went to Jammu for a shoot is also having a ball with his family as the shoot got canceled. Aly says, “My family loves Jasmin, they are very happy to have her in Jammu during Ramzan, unko achcha lagta hai. Actually, this is not her first Ramzan with us, teen saal se Ramzan mein Jasmin humare saath hi hoti hai. And because she loves cooking, she often prepares our iftari, too.”
Jasmin is clearly bonding well with Aly’s family, how about his bond with her family? “I have only met her mother two-three times because they stay in Kota and Mumbai bahut kam aate hain woh, but I share a good bond with her mom, papa se ek hi bar mila hoon, toh achche se jaanta nahi hoon abhi unko, but phone par baat hoti hai sabse,”
WHen asked about his future plans with Jasmin, he said, “I have made my mind. I want to marry her, mujhe pata hai agar shaadi karni hai toh issi se karni hai. We haven’t decided on the date yet, but I am very sure that Jasmin is the girl for me.”
