There is no doubt that Dia Mirza has one of the greatest circles of gal pals. The actress often takes to social media to celebrate or give a shout-out to her group of friends, which includes actresses Shabana Azmi, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Urmila Matondkar, among many others. Likewise, on Tuesday, September 16, she posted a clip on her Instagram Stories, where Shabana Azmi and others came together to celebrate the success of actress Sandhya Mridul’s poetry collection, Untamed.
In the video, originally shared by Sandhya on her Instagram account, Shabana Azmi shared some heartfelt words about “Untamed” and its author. The veteran actress began on a light note, telling the audience that within their close-knit group of friends, Sandhya has always
been known as “the joker.” She is the one who cracks jokes, lightens the mood, and makes everyone laugh. But as Shabana explained, Untamed showed her a completely different side of Sandhya.
Shabana Azmi Shares She Got Acquainted With The “Real” Sandhya Mridul After Reading Her Book
“It was only through this book that I discovered, my God, because I used to see glimpses of this person that she would try very hard to cover. And then this book came out, searing, naked,” she said. The 74-year-old actress admitted that the poems touched her so deeply that she couldn’t hold back her emotions. “And when I started reading this, I cried so much,” Shabana mentioned, adding, “To be so seared by the openness, by the rawness with which she has expressed herself and let herself go. It is such a lesson to each one of us that letting go, letting go, is the real truth.” She even read a poem from Sandhya’s book.
