Mumbai, 17 May

Catch the ever so perfect and elegant Shabana Azmi in a candid conversation with host Tarana Raja Kapoor on the celebrity chat show Let’s Talk on May 19th 2007, Saturday at 9:00 pm only on Zoom, India’s premier glamour and entertainment news channel.

The classy Shabana will give an interesting peek into her professional and personal life. Speaking about her Bollywood career, she admits that she is not at all a spontaneous actor and for every role she does lots of home work and research to bring out the best in her. Shabana puts in her best effort in every project she undertakes be it films, politics or as a social activist. She shopped for her own clothes for ‘Rice Plate’ which is a part of ‘Dus Kahaniyan’ while for ‘Morning Raga’, Shabana even learnt karnatic music. Shabana says, “One of my most memorable moments was when Pt. Ravi Shankar called to congratulate on her brilliant performance.” She enchanted all on the sets of Let’s Talk by showing her singing skills.

Let’s Talk with Shabana and Tarana gets even more interesting when she speaks about her life as a social activist and the fact that she resorted to a five day ‘bhookh hartal’ for the cause of slum dwellers in Mumbai. Speaking on her personal life Shabana says that she and Jaaved Akhthar get along very well and share common views on almost all topics. Jokingly she claims that her husband always teases her that he is married not to one person but to many since she takes every sphere of her life very seriously.

Known as a woman of substance, Shabana had shaved her head for a film. She was a hot topic of discussion and even her husband joked about it. She shared exciting anecdotes about Jaaved feeling that she looked very nice with this new look and would look absolutely stunning if she had to go to the parliament with a shaved head without any stole or hat or anything to cover it. So much so for son Farhan Akhthar’s wedding, she wore huge jhumkas and was completely dressed in Indian attire wearing a huge sindoor on her bald head.

Don’t miss the rendezvous with host Tarana Raja Kapoor and Shabana Azmi, one of the most respected women in India on Let’s Talk on Zoom Television this May 19th 2007, Saturday at 9:00 pm.
