“With my dear ones Anil Kapoor and Urmila Matondkar. Bahut saara pyar (lots of love),” Shabana wrote with the picture on Twitter. Urmila played Shabana’s daughter in Shekhar Kapur’s Masoom. The film also starred Naseeruddin Shah and Jugal Hansraj. Urmila and Jugal were children at the time.

Apart from Anil and Urmila, Shabana also shared a photo with theatre director Feroz Abbas Khan, who worked with Shabana on their play Tumhari Amrita. “With Feroz Abbas Khan, the director of my long running play Tumhari Amrita. It ran for 22 years,” she wrote with the photo. 

Feroz Abbas Khan is also known for directing the opulent Mughal-e-Azam musical and also Raunaq & Jassi.

On Shabana’s photos, her friends and followers gave her compliments about her dress. “You know I’m going to borrow that outfit soon,” read a comment. “That dress is just stunning Shabana Jee,” read another.
