Javed akhtar children

It’s been over three and a half decades since Javed’s children and his ex-wife. With that said, the veteran actress recently also opened up about a funny episode of her family sharing how her husband and kids ‘run away’ whenever she enters the kitchen. In an interview with Curly Tales, Shabana while admitting that she is not a good cook and lacks basic culinary skills jokingly said, “When it comes to cooking, I am very talented. Suppose you are making the best dish in the world, and I walk into the kitchen and you tell me to stir it while you go out for a second, by the time you come back it will be burnt.” She further also spoke on how her family reacts to her ‘cooking’ skills and said that this is the only talent that she never had.

Though my lovely father would even eat an uncooked roti made by me and praise it. However, my husband, Farhan, Zoya, Baba (Shabana Azmi’s brother), and his wife Tanvi are the first ones to run away from my cooking,” she added. While recalling this funny incident, Shabana also opened up about her relationship with Javed Akhtar and shared how things were quite challenging for them in the early days.

• • • • When Javed Akhtar revealed how he fell for Shabana Azmi, actor joked their marriage worked because they 'meet rarely' When Javed Akhtar revealed how he fell for Shabana Azmi, actor joked their marriage worked because they ‘meet rarely’ Javed Akhtar was previously married to screenwriter Honey Irani. After the two separated, Shabana Azmi and Javed tied the knot in 1984. It is Javed Akhtar's birthday today. Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi share a marriage that is bound by trust, space, respect and deep friendship. The two have said as much time and again in various interviews. However, Shabana has admitted that she would have liked it if her lyricist husband were more romantic. Speaking on the show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, the actor said, “Javed is never romantic, not at all. He is too busy being my best buddy to be romantic.” When asked about the inception of their love story, Javed Akhtar said, “Much before I told it to myself, I was really fascinated by her. I don’t know why. When I didn’t know her much, then too she used to attract me. There was something about her that was always fascinating. It’s very difficult for me to decide what was the precise moment when I fell in love with her.” Also Read | Meanwhile, Shabana agreed that she too had started falling for Javed quickly after meeting him. “Quite soon after I got to know him (I was in love with him).

The success and growth of actor-filmmaker In the book, the eminent Urdu poet said unlike his daughter Zoya — now an acclaimed filmmaker — who he believed was “strong”, he had his concerns about Farhan, the “shy” and “quiet” one. “Farhan has really surprised me. Because I was extremely worried about him. I was not worried about Zoya. Right from her childhood, Zoya was strong and precocious. Even when she was six or seven, she argued logically. Succession finale review: One of the best shows about sibling warfare Abhishek Agarwal: 'I want to build India's equivalent of LVMH' “On the other hand, Farhan was very quiet and shy… He was not a kid who argued and fought. In fact, he was intimidated by Zoya,” said Akhtar about his multi-hyphenate son. “Talking Life”, a freewheeling conversation between Akhtar and documentary filmmaker Nasreen Munni Kabir, sees him speaking about the ups and downs of his extraordinary life — from his childhood, his struggles in the 1960s as an aspiring writer trying to break into the film industry to his later years as a husband, father, and successful songwriter and poet. According to Akhtar, Farhan, who he thought didn’t have “resilience” in him, became a different person when he turned 23. “I did not know that even in his childhood, he had another persona when he was among his peer group. I came to know much later about different aspects of his personality. Both my children have strong ideas. Their sense of values is impeccable,” said the industry...

A way with words is almost a family hand-me-down for Javed and his children Farhan and Zoya. But what each of them values most is an original voice The Akhtars today are the seventh and eighth generation of writers in a direct line of ancestry beginning with Fazl-e-Haq Khairabadi, who was a contemporary of the Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib. Javed’s daughter Zoya, director of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, says that while growing up, the artistic milieu of erudition made its presence felt only lightly. Artistes and thinkers would drop in all the time at their residence, but to her it was just like any regular family. “There would be mushairas (poetry recitals). My mother (Honey Irani) had a film projector; so we used to watch movies. At the time, that was family and that was home. It’s much later that you realise how influenced you are by what you grow up around and how it shapes you.” It was an intellectually stimulating environment, and Zoya and her brother Farhan took to books and cinema early in childhood. The film influence came from their mother’s side too, since Honey had started off as a child artiste before she turned to scriptwriting. While on one hand Zoya and Farhan were exposed to the ideas of creative guests staying at their house, on the other, they would gang up with maternal cousins Sajid and Farah Khan (both renowned directors today) to indulge in their favourite pastime—movies. “We were brought up on a diet of popular Hindi cinema. My parents had a huge collection of...

"I wasn’t a ‘father’ in the conventional sense of the word. Traditionally, fathers and sons have never had a communicative relationship. But Farhan, Zoya and I have had a very democratic relationship. There’s nothing in the world they can’t discuss with me. My kids can be very argumentative. Democracy has its own problems," he told Filmfare in a 2001 interview. Zoya Akhtar posts an adorable childhood pic of brother Farhan, wishes him a Happy Birthday: See here Siblings shares such a unique bond with each other. They might argue, quarrel or generally don't agree on anything under the sun, but he or she is that one person who will invariably have your back, sometimes even more than your parents Elaborating further, he added, "It would be naive on my part to believe that it must not have made a difference. But on the positive side, my children have always seen mutual respect between Honey and me. We had extremely civilised relations which kept growing better and friendlier with time. Today, Honey and I are the best of friends."

You go through a very, very difficult period.” Also Read | “We did try to break several times, in fact three times we tried to break because of the children but it just didn’t happen.

So, in the end, it has worked out well, for which I am very grateful.

“Sojaa… Sojaa beta, varna Gabbar aa jayega!” Unless you have been living under a rock for ages, there is high likeliness that you would have heard that dialogue at least once in your lifetime.
