Farhan Akhtar is one of the most talented figures in the Hindi film industry, who not only won hearts with his scripts but also left people going gaga over his strong grasp of acting. Farhan got married to Bollywood hairstylist, Adhuna back in 2000, with whom he has two daughters, Akira and Shakya. After 16 years of marital bliss, Adhuna and Farhan separated.

Recently, Farhan Akhtar and Shibani sat for a conversation with Rhea Chakraborty on her podcast, wherein she praised the actor's ex-wife, Adhuna. Talking about Farhan's two daughters, Shibani stated that her approach was quite simple, and it was that she would always be there if the kids needed her or her parents required her to be by their side. She praised Adhuna and called her an incredible mother. Shibani mentioned that she doesn't get involved in parenting as the kids have incredible parents. Shibani added:

"My approach was pretty simple. They have an incredible mother, they have an incredible father, the rest of us are just here to kind of fill in and support wherever we can. That’s the way I see my role. Whatever the girls need, whenever their parents need my help, however they need that help, I am here for that.”

Farhan Akhtar said that his daughters were kind of collateral damage during his divorce from Adhuna

In the same conversation, Farhan Khan shared that he feels guilt about his divorce from Adhuna, as their daughters were collateral damage during the same. Explaining it, Farhan added how it was hard to be in a relationship that, in front of their kids' eyes, was fine but was being fractured. Farhan added the anger, resentment, and questions must have pilled up in his and Adhuna's daughters' minds, and thus he feels guilt about the same.
