“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.

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.
