Earlier last week Javed Akhtar had to go to the US and he could not cancel his trip or the shooting of Indian Idol. Later he suggested the producers of Sony to let Shabana Azmi take his place for one episode.
Once in the US, Javed was nervous as hell about his wife’s performance in his place. “I anxiously rang up the Sony heads to inquire how Shabana had done.”
“To my delight they were thrilled by her command over the situation and her ease with the contestants,” he said.
