News of their separation came as a shock to fans because the couple had been married for 16 years. However, the two ended things on cordial terms, wishing the best for each other.
The actress was praised for her daughter-in-law’s contribution to the entertainment industry, “I respect her as a person of integrity and credit her for bringing a revolution in Hindi cinema where hairstyling is concerned. Earlier, there were only two hairstyles. If the hero had a fringe, he was village bumpkin. If he slicked his hair back, he was an urban sophisticate. Adhuna sensitised our actors to how integral hair is in defining a character “she added.
Farhan Akhtar and Adhuna parted ways in January. The couple had issued a joint statement about their separation just a few weeks after Farhan’s last film Wazir came out. The two tied the knot in 2000 after a courtship of three years and have two daughters, Shakya, and Akira.
