Last month, Shabana was heading towards Pune, when her car rammed into a truck on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. Her husband Javed Akhtar, who was travelling in a different car when the accident occurred, rushed her and the injured driver to the MGM hospital in Navi Mumbai. They were later shifted to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital the same day.

An FIR has been filed against the driver for rash and negligent driving. However, the cops confirmed that the sections under which the driver is booked are bailable and he is not required to be arrested and was merely issued a notice.
