Shabana Azmi could never become a mother

In a conversation with Shabana in the year 2001, actress Simi Garewal had asked her about the importance of marriage for ‘working self-dependent’ women. In response to this, she had said, ‘Not having children made the choice very easy in a way, because I could give more of my time, because I feel that motherhood is a very demanding job.’
Shabana was asked if not being able to become a mother was a disappointment for her. In response to this, she said, ‘I was surprised by the fact that it was not so. Initially, I was not sure that I would not be able to become a mother. I was surprised that I accepted this fact easily. Even when I realized that I could not have children, I did not let myself feel sad. Packed my bags and moved on, thinking that I was grateful for many other things that I could do.’
Because of this I never adopted a child
Shabana also revealed the reason for not adopting a child. She said, “I never wanted to adopt a child. No. I am friendly with Javed’s children (Javed Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar), so the children’s needs are fulfilled. They are at an age when I don’t have to worry about changing their nappies.”
