Held at Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi’s farmhouse in Khandala, the Christian wedding ceremony was a low-key affair attended by many friends and family of the couple, including Bollywood celebrities like Hrithik Roshan, Rhea Chakraborty and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. Farhan and Shibani have been dating for around four years, before deciding to tie the knot.
Farhan was earlier married to Adhuna Bhabani, with whom he has two daughters Shakya and Akira. On the work front, he was last seen in boxing drama Toofaan. He is currently directing Jee Le Zaraa, that stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt. Meanwhile, Shibani was last seen in the second season of web-series Four More Shots Please!.
National Press Day (November 16) was last week, and, as an entertainment journalist, I decided to base this column on a topic that is as personal as it is relevant — films on journalism and journalists. Journalism’s evolution has been depicted throughout the last 100-odd years thanks to pop culture, and the life and work of journalists have made for a wealth of memorable cinema.
