Further, Javed Akhtar said that it is very difficult for him to decide what was the precise moment when he fell in love with Shabana Azmi. He can’t think of a time when he knew this name, he knew this person, even remotely, and he was not attracted to her.
Even Shabana Azmi opened up about her bond with Javed Akhtar. She said that quite soon after she got to know Javed. In the beginning, she used to laugh as he used to crack up and soon she began to enjoy his company. Shabana finds Javed Akhtar very stimulating and most intelligent man. All this consequently led into love for him and they ended up marrying each other. For an unversed, Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi tied the knot together in the year 1984.
Before the lyricist got married to Shabana, he was married to Honey Irani. The two have a duo of son Farhan Akhtar and daughter Zoya Akhtar. They got separated in the year 1978 and then Javed and Shabana came together to live a happy life.
