The celebrations were also attended by other family members, including the Dandekars. Recalling this nostalgic memory, Shabana posted the same with the caption, “Happy family on Honeys last birthday”.In an earlier report, Shabana Azmi had discussed about her relationship with Honey Irani wherein she had only words of appreciation for her. “In any triangular relationship, it is very personal and it's very painful, especially when there are children involved. But I give huge credit to Honey. She could have very easily filled the children with tales against me. She just didn't do that. She gave them the security that ‘You do not have to consider her an evil stepmother’. She and I have a very warm and really nice relationship. All three of us were very graceful but sabse zyada (she was). She had the most to give and she gave that,” she said.
