In an exclusive interview with Filmfare, Shabana Azmi had previously opened up about her bond with stepson and stepdaughter Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar. She said, "We are very friendly. I have a great relationship with them based on friendship and trust. I value Farhan and Zoya very much and I think they value me. I think a lot of that credit goes to their mom Honey (Irani). I must say that she was very generous. If she had decided that the kids would not be friends with me, then they couldn’t have been friends with me."
About 120 Bahadur
120 Bahadur recounts the extraordinary courage of 120 Indian soldiers from the 13 Kumaon Regiment, who fought in the legendary Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 war. Farhan Akhtar plays the role of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, PVC, who along with his men, stood against all odds in one of the most defining battles of Indian military history. At its heart, one unwavering line echoes through the film, "hum peechhe nahin hatenge.”
Filmfare's Review
Our reviewer gave the movie 3 stars. He wrote, "At the centre of the narrative is Farhan Akhtar, who delivers one of his most restrained and compelling performances in recent years. As Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, he embodies quiet authority rather than bombast. His portrayal avoids the usual chest-thumping clichés; instead, he projects determination, doubt, empathy, and grit with an inward calm that makes the character’s final stand both believable and deeply moving. Opposite him, Raashii Khanna, playing his wife, brings a quiet dignity and warmth to the film. She displays the best qualities of the quintessential army wife, resilience, emotional steadiness, and unwavering support, adding grace to an otherwise combat-heavy narrative."Also Read: WATCH: Inside Shabana Azmi’s 75th Birthday Bash。 Kharkiv, Ukraine — In a scene that is all too common, young boys buried their father, Yevgeny Hutnik, in Kharkiv on Sunday, 10 days after he died fighting against Russian forces in the eastern Donetsk region.His casket was lowered into the ground alongside other fallen soldiers from Kharkiv.

Oksana's husband, Pavlo, was killed in an air strike. "It's hard to accept he's gone" Oksana told CBS News. "It's only when I am here that it sinks in. I feel as if he is still alive… somewhere on a mission." The couple were married for five years. They agreed that if Pavlo was killed in action she would take his place. Now she is fighting in Bakhmut, part of an aerial reconnaissance team.
There is a mortuary near the front lines where unknown soldiers are brought straight from the battlefield. It is Margot's job to record their details and help put names to the fallen. One day, it became personal. "The worst day was when they brought my husband here," Margot said. "It was the hardest day of my life."The trail of death passing through these doors seems never-ending. Every day, young children are learning that war is not some distant historical event. It is right on their doorstep, and they are living through it in the worst way possible.
