Javed Akhtar is safe and sound and with Shabana Azmi as she was admitted to MGM Hospital, Navi Mumbai. PeepingMoon.com exclusively spoke to him about the accident, and Javed Akhtar said, “The driver is also injured and not well enough to give any statement on who was on the wrong side. Shabana’s injuries are serious and she needs everyone’s blessings. This is not the right time to discuss any foul play as she has been shifted to the trauma ward. We were in the third lane when suddenly the driver took a turn and the Tata Safari hit the truck from the left side. Shabana suffered the most as she was sitting on the left side. It took us twenty minutes to get an ambulance.”
