‘Despite the affair, Honey Irani did not poison the children’, Javed Akhtar’s wife Shabana spoke about her co-wife

Shabana Azmi married Javed Akhtar in the year 1984. It was a love marriage. However, Javed Akhtar was already married to actress Honey Irani, and they had two children – son Farhan Akhtar and daughter Zoya. But Honey Irani was shocked by her husband’s second marriage. She was shattered by that betrayal. Shabana Azmi talked about Honey Irani in the latest interview. She said that despite the betrayal from her husband Javed Akhtar, Honey Irani forgot all the grievances and moved on and did not poison the minds of the children. Shabana Azmi has already talked about her relationship with Honey Irani, but she once again spoke about it and said that when her affair with Javed Akhtar started, she had a lot of bitterness in her mind. But Honey Irani showed maturity and never filled the ears of the children against Shabana or Javed Akhtar.

Shabana Azmi was troubled by Javed Akhtar’s drinking habit, told how she decided to quit drinking 33 years ago

‘If Honey wanted, she could have taken the children away, but she didn’t do that’

While talking on Arbaaz Khan’s show ‘The Invincibles’, Shabana Azmi revealed that husband Javed Akhtar worked diligently to rebuild his/her relationship with Honey Irani, and they are now as close as they were before. I feel very happy because I have a very beautiful relationship with Zoya and Farhan and I really give credit to Honey for that. They were really young kids at that time. It would have been the easiest thing in the world for Honey to take them away (from Javed Akhtar). She never did that. Rather, she encouraged the children to stay with us.

‘What does Rekha have that I don’t?’ Why did Shabana Azmi say this to Mira Nair in the hotel ladies room?

Shabana did not force the relationship, but today the relationship with Honey Irani is good

However, Shabana tried to maintain distance initially and did not force the relationship. She said, ‘I really salute Honey, because that generosity has come from him/her. And today, we have a very good relationship with Honey as well. I know that Honey is so confident that if she needs anything, she can call Javed at midnight and he/she will come. We decided that there should be no bitterness in this. Of course, she was very bitter initially. She felt she had been rejected. But he/she (Javed Akhtar) kept the relationship going and whatever it is today, I am proud of it.’
