Shabana Azmi opens up about Javed Akhtar: ‘We Fight, We Shout,…’ | Hindi Movie News

In a world where celebrity relationships are often portrayed as perfect and idyllic, veteran actress Shabana Azmi’s candid reflections on her marriage with renowned lyricist and writer Javed Akhtar come as a refreshing dose of honesty. Speaking about the reality of their decades-long relationship, Shabana offered an intimate glimpse into the dynamics they share — one marked by disagreements, arguments, and love in equal measure.In her own words, Shabana was quick to dismiss the illusion that everything is always smooth between her and Javed. Talking about it in an interview with Pinkvilla, she said that one should not be under the illusion that everything’s hunky-dory between Javed and her. She added that they fight a lot,they shout, and they can be really, really very, very angry with each other. What stands out, however, is the wisdom with which they’ve learned to navigate those stormy moments. Shabana revealed a simple yet powerful ‘magic trick’ taught to her by Javed — one that has helped them hold their relationship together through turbulent times. She revealed that they are really angry with each other, either of them use the word, ‘drop it,’ and the other should drop it.It’s a practice rooted in understanding and restraint. The idea is not to let the heat of the moment escalate into something irreparable. As Shabana wisely pointed out, when one gets angry, one says things that you later regret. By consciously deciding to pause an argument and revisit the issue later when tempers have cooled, the couple ensures that hurtful words and rash decisions don’t leave lasting scars.Shabana also feels that this is a mantra that all couples should exercise.She was last seen in Shibani Akhtar backed OTT show Dabba Cartel- the show received a lot of love for its drama and characterisation.
