Today, we're talking about one such power couple, who has completed 37 years of marital bliss and their love for each other has only increased day by day!
In the year 1984, Javed Akhtar had tied the knot with veteran actress, Shabana Azmi. For the uninitiated, Javed Akhtar had met the love of his life for the first time at famous poet and Shabana's father, Kaifi Azmi's home and had instantly found himself being drawn towards her beauty. However, the actress had always maintained that she had deliberately ignored him because he was already married to Honey Irani and was a father to Zoya and Farhan Akhtar.

"He was a married man, he had children, it was really tough. And that's why I feel that people shouldn't speculate. It's difficult enough for the people involved and then just for gossip's sake. And obviously, people are going to say, 'You call yourself a feminist and then how have you got yourself in this situation."
