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.
