Madhuri Dixit brought vibrant charm in a striking red outfit layered with a printed blue scarf, while Urmila Matondkar shimmered in a gold and black ensemble, radiating festive energy. Shabana, the star of the night, dazzled in a maroon outfit with bright red borders and a statement brooch, pairing it with minimal accessories and a simple hairstyle.
Together, the powerhouse performers set the dance floor on fire, creating a moment that had both celebrities and fans applauding in unison.
Javed Akhtar & Shabana’s Sweet Dance
Another highlight of the bash was a heartwarming dance performance by Shabana Azmi and her husband, veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar. The duo swayed to Connie Francis’ classic Pretty Little Baby, twirling and laughing as the audience clapped along. Javed looked dapper in a red kurta with a black Nehru jacket, perfectly complementing Shabana’s regal look.
The adorable performance went viral after Farah Khan shared the video on Instagram, writing, “Now thats how u turn 75!! Happy birthday @azmishabana18 ❤️ may you and @javedjaduofficial always be this young.”
Celebrities including Farhan Akhtar, Shibani Akhtar, Madhuri Dixit, Karan Johar, Rekha, Urmila Matondkar, Maheep Kapoor, Sonu Nigam and Neena Gupta were seen cheering for the couple.
