The "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" star and his celebrity hair stylist wife of 15 years recently announced their decision to separate "mutually and amicably".
When asked about the split Azmi told PTI, "I don't think I owe the world any explanation."
The actress refused to comment anything further on the much-talked about break-up.
Farhan, 42, is the son of veteran writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar and his former wife Honey Irani.
Meanwhile, the "Fire" actress will be seen playing Sonam Kapoor's mother in the upcoming "Neerja". Azmi says what drew her towards the role was the arch in her character.
"Yet she embraces the fact that her daughter died doing something heroic. So, a character which has an arch is always interesting to do."
The film, directed by Ram Madhvani, is based on the life of flight attendant Neerja Bhanot. The movie revolves around the hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73 in Karachi and how the young flight attendant fought for the lives of her passengers.
"I think what Ram has done is that he has kept the thrill of the hijack, because obviously that is the exciting part. But he has kept the personal, human story as the backbone very strong.
"It's not just a film about the incident but also the strong emotional base that comes from the girl's relationship with her family and particularly with the mother.
