Mumbai, Jan 25 Veteran Bollywood actress Shabana Azmi has shared an adorable picture of herself along with her screenwriter and lyricist husband Javed Akhtar.

Shabana took to her Instagram stories, where she shared the picture. In the photograph, the couple are seen adorably holding hands. The actress has one of her hands on her screenwriter and lyricist husband's shoulder.

The two are all smiles as they posed for the picture.

Javed Akhtar turned 80 on January 17. The writer received a very special gift from Vidya Balan and Sidharth Roy Kapoor.

The couple got a customised cake made for Javed Akhtar and it has a connection to some of his most celebrated movies like "Sholay", "Deewaar", "Shaan", among others. They had Javed Akhtar's face put on some of his iconic movie characters.

Sharing a picture of the cake, Shabana wrote: "Sidharth Roy Kapoor and Vidya Balan’s gift to Javed on his birthday. Look carefully at the cake. It’s Javed’s face in the characters."

Earlier, yesteryear diva Urmila Matondkar also gave a sneak peek into the star-studded birthday bash through an Insta post. In one of the pictures shared by the 'Pinjar' actress, she was seen posing with Javed Akhtar.

She also got captured with Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan during the celebration. Urmila Matondkar further dropped a video where Aamir Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, Shankar Mahadevan, and others can be seen singing "Happy birthday" for the legend.

Urmila wrote: "An absolute epic day that it was..with some of the best talents our industry has!! Afternoon full of love,laughter,affection,admiration and great camaraderie...Because it was a Special Birthday of someone very special to all us..”Jaadu” in real sense as the entire nation is spellbound with his words for decades.. #oneandonly @jaduakhtar Thank you dearest @azmishabana18 for these awesome moments which truly enrich my life."

Javed Akhtar was recently questioned about the best gift he has received in his lifetime. He revealed that his children, Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar doing well in life is the best gift he could have asked for.
