As the Don director turned a year older, veteran actress Shabana Azmi put up a special birthday post on Instagram for her “betu (son).” On Tuesday, Farhan Akhtar’s sister Zoya, parents Javed Akhtar, Honey Irani, Shabana Azmi and his wife Shibani Dandekar rang in his birthday with a midnight cake cutting session. Shibani Dandekar’s sisters Anusha, Apeksha, parents Sulabha, Shashidhar, Apeksha’s husband Abhishek Sharma and Shabana Azmi’s brother and sister-in-law Baba Azmi and Tanvi Azmi were also part of the celebration. An inside picture from the merry-making was shared by Shabana Azmi on her Instagram feed in the early hours of Tuesday morning alongside a sweet message. She wrote, “Salgirah mubarak betu #FarhanAkhtar. Jeete raho khush raho bahut saara pyar (Happy birthday betu #FarhanAkhtar. Stay well, stay happy and lots of love).”
