Javed Akhtar: “We Are Bringing Shabana Home ”

Good news  for the Akhtar-Azmi family. Shabana Azmi who had a miraculous escape from  grievous  injury  after a  road accident  on  January 18, is all set to  return home.

Speaking to  me  on Thursday morning Javed Saab said, “Shabana is completely recovered now.She has been fully healed for some time now. But the doctors  decided to keep her under observation in hospital  for a few  days extra and  I completely agreed with them. She is now ready to return home. We are bringing her home on  Friday morning.”

For Shabana  the  accident was a terrible  brake on her  busy schedule. Prior to the  accident she had been  shooting in Budapest .She orchestrated  the  entire arrangement for her  husband JavedAkhtar’s  week-long celebration of his  75^th birthday  from Budapest. Rushing back just in time  for  the birthday bash, Shabana met with this terrible  road accident just a day after Javed Saab’s birthday.

 “It could have been a lot  worse. I’d say Shabana had a miraculous escape,” says Javed Saab.
