Shabana Azmi has been hitting almost all the headlines ever since she shared a passionate kiss with her co-star, Dharmendra in the recently-released film, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. While the phenomenal actors were completely okay about doing such a scene, and have repeatedly shared their point of view, it was the massive audience who did not like the fact that such senior actors would do a kissing scene in a film. As a result, both of them faced a lot of backlash and criticism for the same. And now, Shabana’s unmissable throwback picture is adding to the buzz.
Taking to her IG handle on August 10, 2023, Shabana Azmi dropped a vintage photograph of herself and Dharmendra. The picture dates back to 1988, when the duo came together for the film, Mardon Wali Baat. In the picture, Shabana can be seen looking pretty in an orange-hued saree, whereas Dharmendra looked handsome in a black-hued vest, teamed with a sap green jacket. Along with it, Shabana penned a caption, where she took a hint at the duo’s comeback on the screen together for Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. In her words:
“At the time Jamini from #Rocky Aur Rani must have met Kanwalji! From #MardonWaliBaat #KaranJohar.”
