Javed Akhtar, a highly esteemed screenwriter and lyricist in the Hindi film industry, is not only known for his exceptional talent but also his straightforward demeanor. Lately, he disclosed an intriguing story from his private life, shedding light on his and his son Farhan Akhtar’s scheduling challenges due to their hectic schedules; they typically arrange meetings spanning 3 to 5 days apart.
In an open discussion that took place in the US and was broadcasted on Zaidi Channel via YouTube, Javed Akhtar offered his perspective on the idea of a joint family. He mentioned that despite being a small family unit, he resides with his wife Shabana Azmi, while their children Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar each have their own homes.
Despite their packed schedules, finding time together as a family often necessitates careful planning. However, the song’s lyrics suggest that this might be misconstrued as a strained bond between the father and son.
Upon arriving, some folks inquired, “Weren’t Farhan with you too?” They wondered if he was unemployed. I typically need to contact him before we meet, or he reaches out to arrange a time. Our meetings are usually scheduled 3-5 days later. This is just how things often work out. Such is the way life unfolds, he summarized.
The screenwriter additionally offered his perspective on how family interactions have evolved over the years. Intriguingly, Akhtar reminisced about a past when it was unusual for relatives in India to call each other before visiting, compared to today’s practice where people make calls and arrange meetings in advance – a custom he approves of.
In the same vein, he emphasized that a certain degree of separation is normal and acceptable in relationships. To illustrate his view, he drew an analogy between human parenting and animal care. Javed pointed out that despite animals providing their offspring with exceptional care and boundless affection, they eventually allow them to live on their own once they mature. Therefore, he believes it’s abnormal for humans to dictate the actions of adults in their 40s.
