Veteran poet, songwriter, and Padma Bhushan awardee, Javed Akhtar, who is known for his impactful words and profound insights, recently shared candid reflections on his turbulent childhood and strained relationships within his family.
As the son of legendary poet and film songwriter Jan Nisar Akhtar and writer Safiya Siraj-ul Haq, Javed Akhtar’s upbringing was marked by profound challenges. Losing his mother at an early age and grappling with a tumultuous relationship with his stepmother led him to live apart from his father.
In his recent interview with Mojo Story, Javed Akhtar spoke about not wanting to alter the series of unfortunate events in his early life, including his mother’s tragic demise. He stated that every experience, however painful, has contributed to shaping his life’s trajectory. “Life is a package, you can’t pick and choose. It (life) is a very tightly written script. If I fantasized that my mother didn’t die when I was just 8 years old — because it was traumatic — and I removed the scenes and re-edited them, my life would have been different and so many scenes would change and many highlights would go away,” the 79-year-old writer remarked.
