The duo also struggled a lot to get a house in Mumbai. In an interview, Shabana once shared, "I wanted to buy a flat in Bombay, and it wasn't given to me because I was a Muslim and I read the same about Saif Ali Khan. Now, I mean, if Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi cannot get a flat in Bombay because they are Muslims, then what are we talking about!"
