What made this get-together even more memorable was a surprise visit by actor Farhan Akhtar, who dropped in unannounced and added an extra spark to the evening. The unexpected moment was captured in a cheerful picture, giving a peek into the warmth and fun of the lively bash. Taking to Instagram, Shabana Azmi posted a picture of herself posing with her girl gang, which included Divya Dutta, Shahana Goswami, and Sandhya Mridul. Farhan Akhtar is also seen happily joining them, standing beside Shabana in the cheerful group photo.
