Farhan Akhtar celebrated his 51st birthday on January 9, a day that also sparked rumors about him and his wife, Shibani Dandekar, expecting their first child. However, the speculation was quickly addressed by veteran actress Shabana Azmi, who dismissed the claims outright. “There’s no truth in it,” Azmi stated when contacted by ETimes for confirmation.
Shabana Azmi’s firm denial has put an end to the rumors surrounding the couple’s family plans, allowing the focus to return to Farhan’s birthday celebrations. The actor received an outpouring of love and best wishes from fans and close ones, marking the milestone with warmth and joy.
Farhan and Shibani’s love story has been a source of admiration for many. The couple began dating several years before getting married in 2022. Their intimate wedding ceremony took place in Khandala, attended by family and close friends. Prior to his marriage to Shibani, Farhan was married to celebrity hairstylist Adhuna Bhabani, with whom he shares two daughters, Shakya and Akira.
