Bollywood came together to celebrate the legendary Shabana Azmi as she marked her 75th birthday on September 18. The veteran actor hosted an intimate yet grand bash at her residence, where the guest list included some of the biggest names in the industry. Photos and videos from the evening are now circulating online, giving fans a glimpse of the fun, nostalgia, and star power that defined the celebration.
Madhuri Dixit And Karan Johar Steal The Spotlight
One of the highlights of the evening was filmmaker Karan Johar and actress Madhuri Dixit taking over the dance floor. The duo grooved to the evergreen classic Dafliwale Dafli Baja, instantly drawing loud cheers and applause from the guests. Videos from the night showed Karan, dressed in an all-black outfit, matching steps with Madhuri as other attendees clapped along, capturing the infectious energy of the moment.
The impromptu performance quickly went viral on social media, with fans calling it “iconic” and praising the duo’s chemistry. Comments flooded in, with one user writing, “What an OG party!” while another gushed, “Epic. Nobody like KJo and Madhuri.” The celebration proved yet again why Madhuri remains Bollywood’s eternal dancing diva, while Karan brought his signature flair to the occasion.
Farhan Akhtar’s Sweet Dance With Shabana Azmi
Equally heartwarming was a video of Shabana Azmi herself joining the dance floor with her stepson, Farhan Akhtar. The two swayed to Señorita from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, a film that featured Farhan in a leading role. Their joyous performance had the entire room cheering the loudest, adding a deeply personal touch to the festivities.
The energy didn’t stop there. Madhuri was later joined by Urmila Matondkar, and together they created yet another memorable dance moment. Sharing snippets from the celebration, filmmaker Faraz Arif Ansari described the evening as “legendary and incredibly special,” thanking Shabana for letting him be part of the milestone event.
Star-Studded Birthday And Shabana’s Upcoming Projects
The birthday bash was nothing short of a starry affair. Rekha, Vidya Balan, Farah Khan, Manish Malhotra, Sonu Nigam, and Maheep Kapoor were among the many Bollywood personalities spotted at the event. Fans online couldn’t get enough of the reunion of legends under one roof.
Even as she celebrated her milestone birthday, Shabana Azmi continues to remain deeply active on the professional front. She will next be seen in Rajkumar Santoshi’s Lahore 1947, co-starring Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, and Ali Fazal. Additionally, she has a key role in Bun Tikki, directed by Faraz Arif Ansari.
