Shabana and Shaukat Azmi

Poet Kaifi Azmi's biography in Urdu, Yaad Ki Rahguzar, written by his wife Shaukat Azmi, has been translated into Marathi. The book called Kaifi Aani Mee was released on Sunday in Nashik.

Speaking about the occasion, daughter Shabana Azmi said, "My mother's biography on my father has had a wonderfully long shelf life.

It has been selected by 14 universities in the USA and has had four referential readings in South Asian institutions because it rises above a personal story to encompass a socio-political milieu that's distinctly female.

The book has been earlier translated into English and Japanese. And my husband Javed (Akhtar) has written a play, Kaifi Aur Main based on my mother's biography. It feels good to watch my parents find space in literary circles in so many different languages."

And now, if the buzz is to be believed, a very big production house plans to make a film on Kaifi Azmi's life. Shabana is the natural choice for her mother's part.

Confirms Shabana, "Yes, some interest has been shown in filming the book. My parents' romance was spectacular."
