“Happy belated birthday, Shabana... Have the best year yet... filled with deep, meaningful conversation and frivolous antaksharis, work travel and girl trips, ambition and abandon... but please, please in this landmark year... say NO to cucumber sandwiches...!! Love you, @azmishabana18," his post read.

Recently, Azmi offered an insight into the Karwa Chauth celebration at Anil and Sunita Kapoor’s residence.

The veteran actress shared a photo from the get-together wihere she was seen posing with her husband, Javed Akhtar, Sunita Kapoor, and filmmaker Rumi Jaffery.

Calling her a “superwoman,” Azmi pointed out how Sunita perfectly juggles multiple roles — as a host, wife, and friend — all while staying true to herself.
