Farhan Akhtar's 51st Birthday Sparks Rumors of Fatherhood—Shabana Azmi Dismisses Claims

Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar's 51st birthday on Thursday took an unexpected turn as social media buzzed with rumors about the actor expecting a child with wife Shibani Akhtar. Fans speculated about the couple's family plans, but a credible source quickly debunked the gossip.

The speculation began when whispers of Farhan and Shibani's first baby together started circulating online. However, HT City sought clarification from Shabana Azmi, Farhan's stepmother, who firmly dismissed the rumors. “There is no truth to this,” Azmi stated, putting an end to the conjecture. Despite repeated attempts, Shibani Akhtar remained unavailable for comments on the matter.

Farhan Akhtar, who shares two daughters, Shakya and Akira, with his ex-wife Adhuna Bhabhani, married Shibani on February 19, 2022, in an intimate ceremony attended by close friends and family. This isn't the first time the couple has been at the center of pregnancy rumors, with similar speculation surfacing in the past.

The couple has consistently maintained their privacy regarding personal matters, choosing to focus on their respective careers. Farhan, known for his multifaceted talents as an actor, director, and producer, and Shibani, an established actor and model, have both refrained from addressing such rumors publicly.

As the birthday celebrations continue, Farhan's fans remain eager for updates, but for now, the claims of impending parenthood have been officially denied.
