Presenting: Shabana Azmi as Jamini Chatterjee. The veteran actress played Alia Bhatt aka Rani Chatterjee's grandmother in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. While Rocky and Rani's (Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt) love story seemed to have struck a chord with the audience, Jamini and Kanwal (Shabana Azmi and Dharmendra) emerged as Bollywood's number 1 on-screen jodi. In addition, Shabana Azmi's hard-hitting dialogues made us fall in love with her character. Looks like she is now reminiscing the good old days. The actress has shared a photograph of herself on Instagram Stories. In the pic, which is from the song Dhindhora Baje Re, Shabana Azmi is seen in a white and golden ensemble.
Dhindhora Baje Re, from Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, is sung by Darshan Raval and Bhoomi Trivedi.
