Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi |
Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan hardly meet as their busy schedules
barely leave them with any time together. But the two actresses got a chance to
bond after they were left stranded at London's Heathrow Airport.
Shabana was to fly back to Mumbai from London when her aircraft
was struck by lightning, leaving her stranded.
"Luckily the passengers had not boarded when lightning
struck our flight. But it triggered off an interminable delay, which would have
been unbearable were it not for the company I unexpectedly found," told
Shabana.
Luckily for Shabana, Jaya was also due to travel by the same
flight.
"It was just providential. I don't know what I'd have
done or how I'd have coped I hadn't found Jaya among the stranded
co-passengers," said Shabana.
And as they got together, Shabana and Jaya spent the next 24
hours having the most fun time of their lives, until an alternative flight was
arranged.
"I just love Jaya's company. She speaks her mind, calls
a spade a spade. We spoke about things that we can never discuss in Mumbai. We
got the chance to bond, something that we rarely do in Mumbai," Shabana told.
However, Shabana isn't too pleased with the way the London
airport handled the crisis.
"We were left unattended for hours. At 11.30 p.m. the
counters were closed and at 12 midnight one simply had to leave the airport. It
closes down at midnight. Simple," she said.
"It's not an airport crisis that I am likely to forget
easily," she further added.
