We are getting closer to February 21 when
Farhan Akhtar will settle down with
Shibani Dandekar, whom he's been head over heels in love with, for nearly 4 years now. A few days ago,
Javed Akhtar spoke about his son's wedding. Now,
ETimes
gets you an exclusive chat with Farhan's mother
Honey Irani.
Goes without saying that Honey Irani is very happy. She told us, "It's a joyous occasion and I am looking forward to it. In fact, everyone in the family is looking forward to it. We are very excited."
Honey Irani, when asked about when and how she learned about Farhan's relationship with Shibani, says, "They told us about it." As for their decision to become man and wife, Honey Irani revealed that the couple had invited them for dinner and spilled the beans there. "That happened some time back."
Continued Honey Irani, "The most important thing is that they are both very happy. I just hope they have a wonderful life; it's really nice to see they are tying the knot now. They were very serious about each other. But frankly, today, couples take some time before making the decision on marriage. We respect that. We are not the interfering types. Shibani and Farhan are both mature. We would have approved of whatever they wanted."
A few words on her to-be-daughter-in-law? "Shibani is lovely, pleasant and gorgeous; she is madly in love with Farhan. Farhan too is madly in love with her. I just hope they make and keep each other happy," Honey Irani concluded.
Honey Irani is a celebrated writer who has penned 'Lamhe' (Filmfare Award for Best Story), 'Kya Kehna' (Filmfare award for Best Story) and 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai' (Filmfare award for Best Screenplay).
