Shabana Azmi's bond with Farhan and Zoya

Veteran actor Shabana Azmi discussed her warm relationship with Zoya Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar in an interview with Zoom. When asked about her bond with them, she credited their mother, Honey, for her generosity. Shabana explained, "It's because of Honey's generosity! If she hadn't been so generous in sharing them with me, it wouldn't have been possible. From the time they were small children, they realized I wasn't the 'stepmother' they read about in fairy tales, and it became so much easier." How did Honey's generosity shape Shabana's bond with Zoya and Farhan?
