In his Instagram stories, Aly also shared a photo of his shaved head while wearing a face mask, captioning it,
“By the way, this is the first time in my life I have shaved my head.”
Shaving or trimming the hair is a religious obligation for male pilgrims, marking the completion of Umrah.
This is not the first time the actor has performed Umrah. In 2023, he visited Saudi Arabia with his friend Asim Riaz during Ramzan, and he performed Umrah again in 2024, this time alone.
Meanwhile, Aly Goni rose to fame with the hit TV show Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, where he starred alongside Divyanka Tripathi and Karan Patel. This role was a major breakthrough in his television career. He later played the lead in Kuch Toh Hai Tere Mere Darmiyaan. He is currently in a relationship with actress Jasmin Bhasin.
