Shabana Azmi took to her Instagram handle today to remember late actor Farooq Shaikh on his death anniversary.
Recalling her last show with him Tumhari Amrita, she went on to talk about their friendship which spanned for over 4 decades.
As she uploaded the post, she captioned it, "10 years .. I remember so clearly that on 14th Dec we did our last show of Tumhari Amrita in front of the Taj Mahal. I remarked that we can never find a venue to match the Taj and that it should be our last show since we had been playing it for 22 years . Pat came your reply “ why should we pull the curtains on Tumhari Amrita - we will do it for another 22 years!”14 days later you were gone … and with it were washed away a deep friendship of 40 years .. I can never play Amrita again with my Zulfi gone …I miss you Firkee.”
Shabana and Farooq worked in a number of films together including Ek Pal and Anjuman.
