Farhan Akhtar Is Spitting Image Of Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi Has The Proof
Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi have been together for more than four decades now. Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar have been together for over four decades, having celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary in December last year. From supporting each other on multiple occasions to social media shoutouts, the couple never fails to express their love in their unique style. On Sunday, the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani star uploaded a black-and-white picture of her better half, appearing to be mesmerised by his intense gaze. 'Those eyes… the eyes," Azmi captioned the post. In the picture, a younger Javed Akhtar could be seen looking in a different direction, with his expressions captured from the side profile. Fans also couldn't help but admire the looks of the veteran writer-lyricist. One wrote, 'Those eyes…. Reading Jadunama… This picture is in the book!! So handsome!! Loving the book!" while another added, 'Dashingly Devilishly Handsome Charming! Eyes Never Betray Ever! The Very Iconic Significant Screenwriter Javed Akhtar! I Humbly Salute You Javed Saheb!" Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar's love story started way before their wedding. After meeting at Azmi's father, legendary poet Kaifi Azmi's home, the two developed an interest. At the time, Akhtar was already married to Honey Irani, with whom he shares two children – Farhan and Zoya. Despite the relationship complexities, their connection deepened over the years, and they eventually got married in 1984. In December last year, the couple celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, with Shabana Azmi sharing a wholesome post to mark the occasion. 'It's been 40 years today since we got married, and he still makes me laugh," she penned. In a photo she posted, the veteran actress looked beautiful in a pink suit, while Javed Akhtar was dressed in his signature white shirt and jacket. 'If you consider the fact that one seeks the perfect match of backgrounds for an arranged marriage, then this could well have been the perfect arranged marriage. He (Javed) was already married by the time I realised how well-suited we were. We stayed away from each other for as long as was possible," Azmi previously said in an interview with DNA. After over 40 years of togetherness, the couple describes their relationship as a 'friendship," which has withstood the test of time. Javed Akhtar's children, Farhan and Zoya, have also developed a good bond with Shabana Azmi. First Published:

Panchayat season 4 ending explained: Did Abhishek clear his CAT exam? Did Rinki and Abhishek confess their love?
Panchayat season 4 ending explained: Panchayat season 4 concludes with a blend of heartfelt emotions, intense political shifts, and long-anticipated revelations. As life in Phulera takes new turns, viewers finally get answers to pressing questions, whether Abhishek passed his CAT exam and what the future holds for his relationship with Rinki. The season finale delivers pivotal moments that redefine the characters' paths and hint at what lies ahead. Here's a closer look at how it all comes together. (Spoilers ahead, you know what to do) Panchayat season 4 ending explained Did Abhishek finally clear the CAT finally? After three seasons of waiting for an answer, we finally learn that Abhishek's efforts have paid off, he has cleared the exam with a 97 percentile. While anxiously waiting for the result, he tells Rinki over the phone that he's too nervous to check it himself, so she checks it for him. Upon seeing the result, she confirms that he has passed with a good percentile. Meanwhile, Prahlad and Vikas are seen bringing beer, ready either to celebrate or to drown their sorrows, depending on the outcome. Fortunately, the bottles are opened in celebration. Did Rinki and Abhishek finally confess their love? Yes, the love story is now a stage above as Abhishek confessed that he loved Rinki and Rinki reciprocated too. In the last episode, after Abhishek's result we see Rinki and him walking around and him telling Rinki that if Manju devi loses the elections he wont even wait for 2-3 months to resign and that angers Rinki who doesn't want him to leave so soon. Who wins the elections in Panchayat season 4? Surprisingly, the Panchayat elections are won by Kranti devi and not Manju devi. This leaves Manju devi's supporters sad since they wanted her to win. We also see how after the results come out, Pradhan ji played by Raghubir Yadav, goes into a meltdown and expresses how disappointed he is because of the loss. Panchayat season 4 review You might not expect this, but Panchayat season 4 doesn't quite live up to the expectations. The season falls short in terms of twists and turns and lacks the trademark humour the series is known for. While the earlier seasons, especially seasons 1 and 2 were nothing short of a masterclass in acting, production, and storytelling, this time around, the show doesn't quite stand out. It largely relies on the charm and strength of the original cast members. If you're a fan of the series, you'll probably watch it anyway but let's just say, this season is easily skippable.
