Shabana Azmi on starring with Javed Akhtar in new commercial for a diamond model, “We determined to say no matter got here to our hearts”

Mentioned Shabana, “We improvised our traces through the taking pictures. We did have our pre-written traces. However we determined to say no matter got here to our hearts. It’s fascinating how comparable our backgrounds are.”

Evaluating Javed saab to her father the legendary Kaifi Azmi, Shabana mentioned, “Javed is precisely like my father. Like Abba, Javed is a feminist. My father had this whole dependence on home issues on my mom. Even I’ve to purchase all the garments and sneakers for Javed. Likewise, the tailor who stitched my father’s kurta-pyjamas by no means noticed his face. Neither Abba nor Javed have seen the kitchen in the home. Nor can they repair something round the home. However each can do something in the event that they set their coronary heart on it.”

Shabana conjures up Javed in sudden methods. She recounted, “As soon as throughout dinner, he was spilling soup on his kurta. Once I admonished him, he got here up with these traces immediately to the tune of ‘Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar’ from the movie Hum Dono: “Jo is tarha se khaoge/Toh kitna tum giraoge/Safed yeh Qameez hai/Kahan tumhe tameez hai/Jo soup ispe gir gaya/Toh jaante ho hoga kya/Yeh daag dhul na payega/Jo dhoyega batayega/Ki saabun ispe ghis diya/Yeh Daag par mita nahi/Jo tum kharaab na karo/Woh kapda hello bana nahi.”

Laughed Shabana, “Solely Javed Akhtar will be playful and poetic on the similar time. See, that is what has stored our marriage going: a mutual sense of humour. We don’t sit round gazing into one another’s eyes reciting poetry. There’s an excessive amount of to do. We’re continuously travelling aside for our separate commitments. As soon as we actually met on the airport earlier than taking separate connecting flights. Javed had requested for some recent garments, which I rapidly handed over earlier than dashing for my flight. The lengthy separations make us extra appreciative of our time collectively at residence.”
