Shabana Azmi has celebrated an extraordinary milestone in husband Javed Akhtar's career – 62 years since the legendary writer and lyricist arrived in Mumbai with just 27 paise and dreams of making it in the film industry.
Veteran actor Shabana Azmi has marked 62 years since Javed Akhtar first arrived in Mumbai to begin the journey that would eventually make him one of Indian cinema's most celebrated writers and lyricists.
