Ali Fazal has been away from us for the longest time - he left for London in August to shoot 'Victoria and Abdul'.

The film is based on a novel by Shrabani Basu and revolves around the relationship shared by Queen Victoria which is played by Dame Judi Dench and Abdul.

In a recent interview Ali mentioned that Judi loves Indian culture, Indian food and cinema. As Ali and Judi shared a very special bond with each other he made her groove on DDLJ`s songs. The movie has been a mark in Bollywood and Ali made it more memorable by making Judi dance on the songs of the movie.

Ali quoted saying, "From Day One we were friends. Every morning I'd go to her van playing the songs of DDLJ (DilwaleDulhaniya Le Jayenge) and dance with her. Whether it was Mehndi lagake rakhna or Mere khwabon mein jo aaye, it had to be Judi me and DDLJ each morning."
