2 / 9Exhausted after a musical evening that she had organized in memory of her father, the legendary poet Kaifi Azmi’s 98th birthday on Saturday, Shabana just wanted a quiet family get-together on Javed Saab’s birthday on Tuesday. And that is how she described her prospective birthday party. She told a website, “When it comes to Jadu, nothing is decided till the last minute. So, till last night, nothing was happening. But, he has magic not only in his name but also in his persona. Friends say, ‘Yaay! Yuhoo ! We want to be there for him.’ So there will be tons of home-cooked food great company and I hope a happy time will be had by all!” (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla)
