Sonam Kapoors godmother Shabana Azmi would have to skip the wedding

7 May 2018

Shabana Azmi who is a very close friend of Boney and Anil Kapoor would have to miss the big day in Anils daughter Sonams life. On May 8 when Sonam gets married Shabana would be in Chicago. Speaking from the US Shabana says, Alas! I cant attend my darling Sonams wedding. I was committed to be here in the US from three months in advance. Sonams wedding date changed twice and this is a commitment I cant skip. However Shabana hasnt missed out on all the festivities back home. I was with Anil, Sunita and Sonam before I left. Such fun! There was much dance practice, laughter and good cheer all around. Shabana recalls her long association with the Kapoors. Anil and his wife Sunita have been friends with Jadu (Javed Akhtar) and me for 30 years. When Sonam first told her father she wanted to be an actor Anil sent her to me to dissuade her. I ended up doing the opposite. I totally encouraged her to follow her heart, much to Anils exasperation. For the wedding Shabanas other half, Javed Akhtar will be there.
