Shabana Azmi Reveals About The Generous Gift She Received From Her House Help; 'I Love Her To Death' - EXCLUSIVE
On Friday the  internet was brimming with bonhomie when they saw Shabana Azmi and her husband Javed Akhtar wearing  what was described as clothes given to them by a fan named Jayshree who sat next to the  golden couple in  a picture. In the picture, Shabana Azmi could be seen dressed in a blue and beige saree with maroon blouse while Javed Akhtar was dressed in a white kurta-pajama. Now, we have got some details about this "fan" of the couple. 

When I asked Shabana about  the “fan” and her generous gift, Shabana clarified, “That wasn’t my fan. It was our house-help Jayshree . She has been with us for twelve years and I love her to death. She is an integral part of our family. When her daughter got married she gifted us these lovely traditional Maharashtrian clothes. Instead of  tossing them into a corner we decided to actually use her gift,  wear her clothes, gifted to us by her hard-earned money. We were deeply touched.”

It’s nice to see a prominent member of the Indian film industry treating the house help with such kindness and generosity. I have seen a veteran actress actually slapping her house help in the kitchen for getting an ingredient in one of the dishes wrong. On the other hand, there was dear old filmmaker Basu Chatterjee who insisted that his house-help sit with the  family at the dining table for all her meals.
