Meanwhile, Dia Mirza shared a few pictures from Shabana Azmi's birthday party. She captioned it, "Happy Birthday Shabana Amma. You are our inspiration, our cheerleader and the glue that holds us together. We are so lucky to call you our own. As you complete 50 years in cinema this month please know that you are deeply cherished. Thank you for being the absolute best. We love you."

Urmila Matondkar had shared a special post for Shabana Azmi on her birthday and she wrote, "The Maa that Cinema gave me...and cheesy as it may sound I can always say to anyone Mere paas Maa hai. Happy Birthday dearest Shabanaji. It has been an absolute pleasure n an incredible privilege to have seen you, worked with you, understood n learnt a great deal from you which still continues. Nothing can precisely describe the bond that I share with you which both of us have so carefully woven for almost 4 decades and tremendously cherished. May you continue to brighten our paths and show us the way to love, life n great heights."

I love how close Urmila and Dia still are to Shabana after Tehzeeb (and Urmila's history with Shabana goes back even further with Masoom). I've seen these three women reunite a lot as mother and daughters.

Didn't know Vidya was so close to Shabana as well. What a group of lovely ladies. Absolutely starstruck!

indeed, love their camaraderie

very rare in these times n era to find this kinda friendship

Ah looks like a fun party! Happy birthday!

Who is behind Shabana ji nd Shivani? is it the same actress from Rocky aur Rani movie - Rocky’s sister??
