When Javed Akhtar slept under trees in Mumbai like ‘homeless, jobless people’
Lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar was not wealthy when he first came to Mumbai in the 1960s. He once talked about how he was “homeless” at the time and would “sleep anywhere (he) liked”, including under trees.
On Javid’s 77th birthday, let’s take a look back at his struggles and how he transcended his circumstances to become a movie legend.
Javid talked about living in a different city, but said he “really came alive” in Mumbai. “I slept anywhere I liked — sometimes in a certain hallway, sometimes in a certain hallway, sometimes under a tree where homeless and unemployed people like me lived,” he said. “Finally, in November 1969, I got something called ‘Break’ in the movie,” he added.
Javed and his partner Salim Khan wrote the scripts for several blockbusters in the 1970s and 1980s, including Seeta Aur Geeta, Deewar, Sholay, Don and Mr India. However, due to personal differences, they parted ways in 1982.
Javed has also won several national awards, including Best Lyricist for three consecutive years – Saaz in 1997, Border in 1998 and The Godmother in 1999. He received Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan, two of India’s highest civilian honours.
In 2020, Javid reflects on his journey and the day he first arrived in Mumbai. He tweeted: “I came to Mumbai on October 4th, 1964. This 56-year journey has had many twists and turns, many roller coasters, ups and downs, but the sum has been very good for me. Thank you Mumbai, Thank you film industry, thank you life. You are all so kind.”

Sonakshi takes saiyyan Zaheer to bhaiya Kapil Sharma’s show; Shatrughan Sinha joins them as ‘bhola bhala aadmi’
This weekend, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal will grace Kapil Sharma’s show with Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha for a family special episode
Back in May this year, Sonakshi Sinha made an appearance on Kapil Sharma’s comedy show to promote her web series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. The actor was joined by her co-stars Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Sharmin Segal. During this episode, Kapil told Sonakshi that her fellow Bollywood divas Alia Bhatt and Kiara Advani are now married. Hearing this, Sonakshi claimed that Kapil is rubbing salt in her wounds because he knows how eager she is to get married. Sonkashi’s wish was granted a month later when she tied the knot with Zaheer Iqbal. Well, she is now returning to Kapil’s show, this time with her husband.
In the trailer of the upcoming episode, Sonakshi introduces Zaheer to Kapil in a hilarious way. She claims that anyone who wants to get married should come to Kapil’s show and call him ‘bhaiya’. Gesturing at Zaheer, Sonakshi then tells Kapil, “Bhaiya, meet my saiyyan.” Well, things get even more fun when Sonakshi’s superstar father Shatrughan Sinha joins them along with her mother Poonam Sinha. This is the first time the entire Sinha family and their new son-in-law have appeared together on national television. At the end of this trailer, Shatrughan describes himself as ‘bhola bhala, shareef aadmi’. But Poonam leaves everyone in splits when she replies, “Mujhse poocho.”
In another fun bit, Shatrughan reveals how Dharmendra once told him to always be ‘a one woman man, at a time’. Well, fans can’t keep calm and are now expressing their excitement in the comment section below. For instance, one social media user gushed, “So happy they’re gonna be on the show! ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” whereas another Sonakshi-Zaheer fan claimed, “This episode is a slap to people who were saying that Shatrughan was not happy with Sonakshi and Zaheer’s marriage.”
