A

Shabana
Azmi
with
her
hubby
Javed
Akhtar
during
their
younger
days.
"It
was
a
discovery,
and
rediscovery,
of
my
roots.
That's
where
the
attraction
came
from.
Javed
was
married
and
we
tried
to
break
off
several
times.
Finally,
he
got
a
divorce
and
we
were
married
on
December
9,
1984,"
the
actress
was
quoted
as
saying
in
one
of
her
earlier
interviews.
