Veteran
actress
Shabana
Azmi
met
with
a
road
accident
a
few
months
back.
Photos
of
her
after
the
accident
on
the
Mumbai-Pune
highway
were
circulated
on
the
internet.
Shabana
says
that
those
photos
were
kept
away
from
her
while
she
was
in
the
hospital,
and
she
saw
them
when
she
was
on
her
way
to
recovery.
Her
family,
however,
was
upset
with
the
pictures
being
circulated.
Speaking
to
Hindustan
Times,
Shabana
said,
"My
family
was
upset.
It
was
kept
away
from
me
for
the
longest
time
as
I
didn't
have
my
cellphone.
When
I
saw
it,
I
was
on
my
way
to
recovery.
At
that
moment,
I
was
just
really
grateful
to
those
who
helped
me
and
the
hospital
staff."
Choosing
to
look
at
the
positive
side
of
things,
she
added,
"If
you
compare
those
graphic
images
to
the
outpouring
of
love
and
concern
that
came
my
way
from
my
audience,
it
overwhelmed
me
so
completely
that
nothing
else
mattered."
Shabana
was
injured
after
her
car
rammed
into
a
truck
when
she
was
on
heading
towards
Pune.
She
was
immediately
rushed
to
the
MGM
Hospital
in
Panvel,
Mumbai,
and
was
eventually
shifted
to
Kokilaben
Ambani
Hospital.
Her
husband
Javed
Akhtar
too
was
travelling
with
her
but
was
in
another
car
when
the
accident
occurred.
Many
members
of
the
Hindi
film
fraternity
such
as
Boney
Kapoor,
Vicky
Kaushal,
Ashutosh
Gowarikar,
Anil
Kapoor
and
others
visited
her
in
the
hospital.
In
terms
of
work,
Shabana
will
next
be
seen
in
Sheer
Qorma,
a
short
film
on
an
LGBT
romance
co-starring
Divya
Dutta
and
Swara
Bhaskar
and
is
directed
by
Faraz
Arif
Ansari.
