"Javed saab writes all these romantic poems and people really come to me saying you are so lucky. And then I tell them that he doesn't have a single romantic bone in his body. And when they ask Javed saab about it he says, "listen when you are working in a circus, and you are a trapeze artist would you hang upside down in your own bed ?," Shabana said in an interview here.
She also reveals the two are very busy with their work most of the time and sometimes bump into each other at airports.
Ask her if she has picked up any learnings from the successful marriage of her parents, she says, "I have seen very successful marriage there. They were very good partners. They also were very respectful of each other. My dad has had an influence on both my brother and me."
She would be seen next in the Indian adaptation of hit American show '24'. It was purely due to her friendship with Anil Kapoor that she agreed to be part of this show.
In this show, Shabana will be seen sporting short hair, wearing trousers with long kurtas. She plays the role of Abhilasha Grewal, head of the Anti-Terrorist Unit.
"She is no nonsense kind of a person. It was a character I hadn't played in film or theater so I thought it would be interesting thing to do. Its just a cameo, only nine days of work I had to do.
