Although Shabana Azmi is well on her way to complete recovery from the injury she suffered in a road accident on January 18, husband Javed Akhtar says he is in no hurry to take her home.

“She’s getting much-needed rest here (in the hospital). Although she has recovered almost completely, I don’t want her to go home as yet. Once she returns home she will immediately become the busy householder again.  I think she’s better off here for now,” ponders Javed saab.

Javed saab says he will wait for complete healing. “I’m in no hurry to take her home. Let her recover completely. Until there’s even a slight swelling on her face, I want her here.”
