Happy Birthday Shabana Azmi!
When Alia Bhatt says that she wants to move on from Dolce & Gabbana and become smart like Shabana, on a hilarious spoof on herself, she underlines that fact that Bollywood has least has one actress who is not just about mindless beauty and artificial looks and who has a personality, a high level of intellect that others want to emulate and so instead of aiming to become as stunning as any of the senior Bollywood actresses, Alia wants to be like Shabana Azmi as she wants to impress all with her intellect.

No doubt, Shabana Azmi is a league apart. Forty years ago when she entered the film industry, good looks were a must for entry to filmdom and an actress had to have fair skin, delicate features and flawless beauty. Shabana was plain and dusky. However, instead of giving up she chose the untrodden path of parallel cinema, spent more time devouring books in libraries than sitting in the sauna and today she stands tall in that enviable league where age has not taken away her charisma and she continues to awe the audience with her charm with the same intensity as she did four decades ago.
On her ....birthday let's have a look at her interesting journey.
