Veteran actress Shabana Azmi recently revealed her admiration for Russell Crowe in a social media post. She shared a throwback photo with Crowe when he chaired a jury panel that included her. Azmi confessed that Crowe’s performance in the 2001 film “A Beautiful Mind” still resonates with her.
The movie “A Beautiful Mind” portrays the life of mathematician John Nash, who received a Nobel Prize in Economics. Crowe portrayed Nash in this biographical drama. Azmi often shares such nostalgic moments with her followers online.
In another post, Azmi posted an old picture with her husband, Javed Akhtar, on Instagram. The couple looked joyful in the photo, with Azmi wearing a red saree and a Himachali cap while Akhtar sported a black kurta. Azmi added the song “Home In My Heart” by Oliver Max as the background music.
Azmi and Akhtar first met at the residence of Azmi’s father, the renowned poet Kaifi Azmi. At that time, Akhtar was married to his first wife, Honey Irani, with whom he had two children, Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar. Despite initial opposition from Azmi’s family, the couple tied the knot in 1984.
