Veteran actress Shabana Azmi recently posted a picture on her official Instagram, showing her sharing a warm hug with her niece, actress Tabu, referring to it as a special “Bhanji and Khaala” moment. The two actresses, related through their mothers, have a close bond. Shabana’s mother, Shaukat Kaifi, is the sister of Tabu’s mother, Rizwana Hashmi, making Shabana Tabu’s aunt.
Despite their long-standing presence in the industry, Shabana and Tabu have not acted together in a film and currently have no plans for a joint project. However, they collaborated on a book in the past. Tabu had the honor of releasing the English translation of Shabana’s mother Shaukat Azmi’s biography “Kaifi & I.”
Shabana Azmi explained that the reason for not working together in movies with Tabu is that they are waiting for a project that interests them both. Tabu’s upcoming project includes the third installment of the popular ‘Drishyam’ series, where she will be starring alongside Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, and Rajat Kapoor. The film, directed by Abhishek Pathak and produced by Panorama Studios, is set to hit theaters on October 2.
