Annu Kapoor recalls his role in Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar’s wedding
Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar got married on December 9, 1984, in a ceremony that was both intimate and joyful. All thanks to Annu Kapoor!
Javed Akhtar is the latest celebrity to draw flak from Twitterati. The popular lyricist/screenwriter recently shared his grief on Twitter after hearing the news of singer Girija Devi’s demise. Although, there was nothing wrong in the tweet, except for a typo error; tweet peeps were quick to react.
Akhtar had initially written, “Girija Devi was not only a great classical sinner but a national treasurer. We are poorer without her.”
As soon as this tweet was rolled out, people started commenting on it and started making memes on the veteran. However, the tweet was later deleted post realisation of the error and Akhtar posted another tweet. But the damage had been done.

Thank god you corrected it. Otherwise it would’ve made headlines again, just like the tweet with your son @FarOutAkhtar which was an irony by the way!
