Shabana Azmi treats the netizens with an 'untouched' pic from the past
Mumbai, June 6
Veteran actress Shabana Azmi treated the netizens with an 'untouched' picture of herself from the past on Saturday.
Shabana took to her official Instagram account and uploaded a sizzling pic from her younger days.
The old still had the 'Masoom' actress looking straight into the camera with her penetrating gaze while posing in a stunning white dress, light makeup, and open hair.
In the caption, Shabana revealed that while the image seemed to have been altered by AI, the pic is absolutely authentic and 'untouched'.
"Looks like AI has been at work but it's an untouched picture from the past ! (sic)," she wrote in the caption.
Filmmaker and choreographer, Farah Khan commented, "Gorgeous!! N a fantastic dancer to boot."
Other big names from the entertainment industry, such as Aditi Rao Hydari, Dia Mirza, Rhea Chakraborty, Urmila Matondkar, and Prateik Smita Patil also reacted to the post with red heart and fire emojis.
From reliving past memories to sharing glimpses of some fun time with her girl gang, Shabana loves to stay on top of her social media game.
Recently, she published a panoramic view of her writer husband, Javed Akhtar's study on Instagram with the caption, "The writer in his study."
What caught our attention in the post was the fact that the celebrated lyricist and screenwriter was seen writing in Urdu.
In the era of AI, he chose to write his latest draft using a pen and paper, the old-school way.
For those who do not know, Shabana and Javed Akhtar first met when the latter was already married to his first wife, Honey Irani. He was also a father to two kids -Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar.
However, despite all the opposition, the couple went on to finally get married on December 9, 1984, and have been together for 41 years now.

Honestly, it's amazing how she's ageing so gracefully. The picture is from the 70s or 80s I'm guessing? That outfit looks so effortlessly chic even by today's standards. And her caption about AI is so relevant in 2025 - everyone is too obsessed with filters and edits these days. Keep inspiring us, Shabana ma'am! 🙌
One thing I really respect about Shabana Azmi is how she's always been authentic - whether it's her acting or her social media presence. That picture proves beauty doesn't need any digital enhancement. Also loved that Farah Khan commented about her dancing - she was indeed a fantastic dancer in films like Arth!
It's so nice to see legends like Shabana Azmi staying active on Instagram! She's not just posting selfies but also giving us a peek into her life with Javed sahab. That photo of him writing in Urdu was so heartwarming - reminds us of the beauty of handwritten words in this digital age. ❤️
Love this! As someone who follows Bollywood from the US, it's fascinating to see how actresses from the 70s and 80s still command such respect. That picture is genuinely stunning - no AI needed! Shabana Azmi is a true icon of Indian cinema.
Beautiful picture indeed, but I have to say I'm not a fan of how the article keeps mentioning her marriage to Javed Akhtar and the controversy around it. Can't we just appreciate the photo and her talent without bringing up personal history every time? She's been married for 41 years - that's commendable. But
