New Delhi. There are some incidents on the sets of films that even the stars themselves cannot forget. Be it the 70s or the 80-90s. From Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Zeenat Aman to Saira Bano. Shabana Azmi, who recently made headlines for her acting as well as her outspokenness, recently expressed her love-filled anger on that director. Remembering that 27-year-old incident, even the director herself could not stop laughing. This incident is from a film released 27 years ago, in which after seeing Rekha’s role, she asked her own director what is there in her that I do not have… Shabana Azmi narrated this incident recently at the New York Film Festival. She remembered this funny incident while talking to Mira Nair.
Mira Nair is well known for her acclaimed films, including the 1997 film ‘Kamasutra: A Tale of Love’ starring Rekha. The film was banned in India but received a lot of praise internationally. Shabana worked with Mira Nair in the film ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’, which also featured several Hollywood stars.
He played a small role in this film
Shabana Azmi had a small role in ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’. Shabana, who played a small role in the film, was hoping that she would get a big opportunity in some other film of Mira Nair. At the New York Film Festival, when Mira Nair asked Shabana Azmi to name the memorable directors with whom she has worked in her five decade long career, she answered it in a funny way.
Shabana still has a complaint against Mira Nair
The actress said, ‘I have a complaint against a director with whom I have been talking for many years and I have always been telling her that we should work together and when it comes to acting, she gives me a small role. She does not do justice to me and that woman is sitting next to me.’
When Shabana reached the director while chasing him
Mira Nair burst out laughing after hearing Shabana’s words and then said, ‘My first meeting with Shabana was when she followed me to the ladies room of a 5 star hotel in Juhu and said, ‘What does Rekha have that I don’t have?’ We had a love fight in that ladies room.’ Mira Nair told Shabana Azmi that she knew that her role in ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’ was small, but assured her that she would work together.
