The veteran actor told India Today in a new interview that showcasing a romantic storyline between senior characters in the Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt-starrer was a ‘risk’ taken by filmmaker Karan Johar.

Shabana Azmi believes the film takes a risk
Shabana told India Today, “I feel it is about time that something like this happened. Why is it that a woman who is considered strong, cannot also be somebody who has a romance in life? Why does it need to be separated like that, that a strong woman cannot be romantic. I am inundated with messages and phone calls.” Shabana said it is ‘to Karan Johar’s credit’ that he took a risk with their story because earlier, such subjects were considered ‘anathema in the mainstream.”
She further said, “(Karan) is telling me that people are saying you could have a whole film about the seniors because it is being appreciated so much, that it has been written well, so this is good and I am happy.”
Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi’s kiss
There is also a kiss scene between Dharmendra and Shabana in the film. Earlier, speaking about it, Dharmendra had told News18 in an interview, “I am hearing that Shabana and I have surprised the audience with the kissing scene, and at the same time they have even applauded it. I think people weren’t expecting it and it came very suddenly which is why it created an impact. The last time I did a kissing scene was in Life In A Metro with Nafisa Ali and at that time too people had appreciated it.”
