Bollywood legend actress Shabana Azmi may be absent from the big screen for some time these days, but when it comes to saying something about mother and mother, sharing their goodness and memories spent with mother. Then Shabana Azmi considers that moment very beautiful. Yes, recently, wearing a sari, putting flowers in the hair, when Shabana Azmi came as the chief guest at the launch of the book ‘The Oldest Love Story’, then everyone’s eyes just kept looking at her. UNPFA brand ambassador and Padma Bhushan winner Shabana Azmi launched a collection of extraordinary essays depicting the theme of motherhood.
In this book, Shabana Azmi has shared about the rare stories of her relationship with her mother Shaukat Azmi. The book ‘The Oldest Love Story’ was launched in association with Ajay Mago, Shantanu Roy Chowdhury, Maithili Rao, Rinki Roy Bhattacharya at Title Waves, Bandra, Mumbai.
When praised in the first film and scolded by the mother in the second film
Shabana Azmi says about her mother Shaukat Azmi, “She was a very good woman, a good mother, a good wife. Her biggest specialty was that she used to keep equal balance between her professional life as well as her personal life, and I always learned this from her. But she was not the Nirupa Roy type of mother of Bollywood, she used to keep her point in a very harsh and outspoken manner. You will not even know when she will bring you down on the ground.
Sharing an anecdote related to her mother, Shabana Azmi said, “It is a one-time story. My first film Ankur was released and my mother was sitting in the queue ahead of me. While watching the film, he told me that you are a very good actress, I am proud of you, this film is very good. Seeing the people next to me, they must have started thinking that what is all this going on. I became very confident after listening to my mother and when my second film ‘First Love’ came after 2 months, she said that Shabana is such a stupid film and you have done such a stupid thing. If you had shown me this film earlier, I would have got you married to some lagde lule, but never in the film industry.
Shabana Azmi had a complaint – mother used to like brother more
Not only this, Shabana Azmi has told in this book how she used to treat her mother Shaukat Azmi very rudely at the age of 9, she says, “There was a time when I often behaved very rudely. Then once my mother called me and said why are you behaving like this? Then I told him that I think you love Baba (his brother) more than me. Then she said to me that look, I am your mother as well as a human being. Your nature is very rude and unpleasant and I do not like all this. And your brother, very loving, is of good nature. That’s why I treat him well. Hearing all this, I left my bad behavior but told my mother that how can you talk like this with a 9 year old little girl. Then she said that I neither see nor think of all this.
