Meanwhile, speculation is rife that filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar and girlfriend Shibani Dandekar have decided to get married and the date has been finalised as well. Yes, and the buzz is strong that it will happen next month.

Farhan separated from his wife Adhuna Bhabani after staying together for 16 long years. They have two daughters together—Shakya and Akira. The two continue to stay cordial with each other.

Shibani is a model-turned-VJ and has participated in reality shows such as 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' and 'Jhalak Dikhla Ja'. She was one of the co-hosts of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup.
