In
January
this
year,
veteran
actress
Shabana
Azmi
met
with
a
fatal
accident
and
suffered
head
injuries
when
her
car
collided
with
a
truck
on
Mumbai-Pune
expressway.
Recently,
in
an
interview
with
Times
of
India,
the
senior
actress
opened
up
about
her
accident
and
said
that
it
was
a
'close
shave'.
Shabana
Azmi
told
the
leading
tabloid,
"I
had
fainted.
I
was
told
it
was
a
very
close
shave." The
actress
joked
that
because
of
the
injury
to
the
brain,
she
can
say
that
she
has
a
brain.
She
further
continued,
"But
40
days
later,
I
resumed
work
for
Halo
in
Budapest
and
now
I
am
shooting
for
Nikhil
Advani's
Moghuls.
Work
keeps
you
going
and
you
need
carry
on.
I
received
so
much
respect
and
concern
from
all
parts
of
the
world
during
that
accident
period
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
main
reasons
I
recovered."
Earlier,
in
an
interview
with
Film
Companion,
Shabana's
husband
and
lyricist
Javed
Akhtar
had
shared
what
went
through
his
mind
when
his
wife
met
with
the
accident.
He
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Who
could
think
we
would
have
such
a
calamity.
The
accident
that
Shabana
went
through
was
really
deadly.
We
were
in
the
other
car,
she
was
sleeping
in
the
car
behind
us
and
when
this
accident
occurred
and
we
went
back,
the
first
thought
was
'Is
she
alive?'
Because
the
whole
car
was
crushed,
had
become
a
heap
of
junk.
Somehow
we
took
her
out,
she
was
unconscious
with
blood
all
over
her
face
and
it
was
only
from
the
nose.
There
were
no
wounds
but
the
whole
body
has
taken
such
a
whiplash,
that
it
will
take
a
little
time
to
be
totally
normal."
Speaking
about
work,
Shabana
Azmi
recently
turned
producer
with
ZEE5
original
Mee
Raqsam.
