Famous actress Shabana Azmi and her husband, the talented lyricist Javed Akhtar, are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary on Monday! To make this special day even sweeter, Shabana shared a lovely picture of them on her Instagram.
In the photo, Shabana looks beautiful in a pink outfit with a matching scarf and a flower in her hair. Javed looks sharp in a white shirt and jacket. Shabana wrote a cute message with the picture: “It’s 40 years today since we got married, and he still makes me laugh.”
Actor Annu Kapoor also shared a fun story about how he helped Javed and Shabana get married. He said, “I arranged their wedding on December 9, 1984. Javed was sitting nearby, while Shabana was inside reading. I told her to make a choice.” When Javed thought Shabana wasn’t ready, Annu checked with her. She said, “Yes, I am!” Annu went back to Javed and said, “Okay, I’m going now.”
Annu hurried to find a priest for the wedding ceremony. Shabana’s mother got out a beautiful red wedding dress. He even called stars Boney and Anil Kapoor to join the celebration. They all danced and celebrated until 4 or 5 in the morning before Shabana and Javed finally got married!
Javed and Shabana met for the first time at her father, Kaifi Azmi’s house. Javed was previously married to Honey Irani and has two kids, Farhan and Zoya Akhtar.
