Annu Kapoor says, “I got Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi married on the night of 9 December 1984. That too is a story in itself. He was sitting in a trance (he had drunk alcohol) and she was sitting inside reading a book, so I reached there on the night of 9 December. I said she is my wife now… I considered her as my sister… so I said whatever it is, decide now. He was very trance-like. So he started saying what should I decide, he is not ready to do anything.”

Anu Kapoor had brought Maulana in the middle of the night

Completing his statement, Anu Kapoor further said, "I went to him and asked, Sir, are you all ready? He said, yes, it's okay. I said, Bibi, are you ready? He said, yes, it's okay.
