Javed Akhtar was also traveling with Shabana Azmi in the car. The couple was traveling towards Pune when their Tata Safari was hit by a truck. The lyricist was not injured in the accident.
After the accident, filmmaker Hansal Mehta took to social media to ask authorities to monitor rash driving on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
He wrote, “The Mumbai-Pune expressway has always been dangerous and there is little or no monitoring to prevent rash driving. Have seen so many terrible accidents there. Hope #ShabanaAzmi is fine. Dear @OfficeofUT please improve safety on this route urgently. It is quite a death trap.”
