You will have to find some other way of contacting her, I am afraid. It has been a privilege to be a transient postbox for Shabanaji, but that's what I am: transient. :) Dear Rakhi and everyone else who might want to get in touch with Shabana Azmi: I am sorry but my email address for her is outdated, and seems to be bouncing.

Shabana Apa is very dear to me and people of Javed Saheb’s mindset are becoming rare to our times, alas. If I ever had to describe an ideal Indian, I wont hesitate a second to name him. It was of course immense pleasure and sheer faith of Shabana Apa that kept me going when I was working on “Yaad Ki Rahguzar” and I am thankful to all of you for your wonderful words for Shaukat Amma. Our Shaukat Amma is a treasure, one of those who never get old. God bless you all.

I was delighted when it was announced that were indeed, coming to Toronto. We watched it last night. It was a Class Act. A moving tribute from one artist to another who also happen to be father/daughter and fil/sil. We enjoyed every minute of the show.

It is a story which can teach a lesson to all of us that believing in yourself and persistance can take one to high places. Thanks to all those who brought this to Toronto.

My wife and my daughter were equally moved by this discovery about the life and personality of Kaifi.It was a woderful evening at Roy Thompson Hall, Toronto. Kudos to Shabana who is an Activist herself, Jawaid and Juswinder Singh. There could not be a best tribute to Kaifi Azmi than this.
