Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar met with a horrific accident yesterday on the Mumbai-Pune express highway. While the legendary screenwriter fortunately was saved unscathed, Azmi sustained a lot of injuries. She has been moved to a private hospital in Mumbai yesterday night. Since the accident was reported, pictures of the injured actress was all over media outlets. That definitely was shocking and hurtful. Guess that's why Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor have urged media to refrain from using those pictures for news breaks. Shabana Azmi Injured in Accident; Doctors Say Her Condition is Stable

Varun and Shraddha took to Instagram to request various media outlets about the same. The actor has urged media not use the pictures as it causes distress to the family concerned. Shraddha too had similar concerns and requested the media to understand.

What we have heard so far is that Shabana Azmi is stable and recovering if we go by Cabinet Minister or Medical Education & Cultural Affairs, Govt of Maharashtra Secretary, Amit V Deshmukh. He had tweeted a few hours back, 'God is kind, @AzmiShabana  Ji is stable and, recovering after the car accident. @Javedakhtarjadu  Ji is safe. I wish both good health."
