In an earlier interview, Shibani Dandekar shared that the wedding proposal from Farhan Akhtar came as a surprise. Speaking to Elle India, Shibani said: “It was a very unexpected proposal. I had no idea it was going to happen. We had not even discussed it. But this is again Farhan, when he decides something, he does it. I was never the kind who wanted to get married and have all that jazz. But when Farhan asked, it just felt right in the moment and after the initial shock, I said yes!” Farhan Akhtar proposed to Shibani in the Maldives. Farhan and Shibani got married in the presence of friends and family in an intimate ceremony in 2022.
On the work front, Shibani Dandekar was last seen in Made in Heaven. Farhan Akhtar will return to the director's seat with Don 3 headlined by Ranveer Singh.
