Netflix's 'Dabba Cartel' actress Shabana Azmi: 'Used to change clothes behind trees, Rajesh Khanna and I would be shooting a scene not knowing...'

Netflix’s ‘Dabba Cartel’ actress Shabana Azmi recently told The Quint in an interview how they had to change clothes behind tress once upon a time. She also said, “Rajesh Khanna and I would be shooting the first page of a scene not knowing what’s next because Kader Khan is writing it in a different studio.”

In a recent interview with Radio Nasha, veteran actress Shabana Azmi revealed how she and her husband Javed Akhtar had parted ways in between. She revealed, “We didn’t speak for three months.”

Azmi also said how her mother warned her against marrying poets, “They will trap you with beautiful words. “I love how he speaks with humility to people younger than him. His wit and intellect are, of course, unmatched,” she added.

Veteran writer and lyricist Javed Akhtar and actress Shabana Azmi have been married for over four decades. In a recent interview with ETimes, the actress spoke about why their marriage has lasted for so long. She said, “He (Javed Akhtar) says the success of our marriage is that we don’t meet too often, we are both busy running in different directions.”

Azmi added, “ We come from similar backgrounds – our fathers were poets from UP and communists, we have a common view on things – so people say considering these factors we should have had an arranged marriage.”

However, their journey together hasn’t been entirely without challenges as Javed was previously married to fellow actor Honey Irani when he and Shabana fell in love. He also had two children, Farhan and Zoya Akhtar, from his previous marriage. During a recent conversation with Curly Tales, Shabana Azmi shared about their challenging experience and expressed that it was incredibly tough. The veteran actress further elaborated that the situation was not only hard for her, but also for the other two individuals involved.
