Actor Shabana Azmi, who was injured in an accident last week, is recovering well, husband and writer Javed Akhtar said on Wednesday.

Shabana Azmi sustained injuries on Saturday after her car rammed into a truck near Khalapur on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. She was returning to Mumbai from Pune in a Tata Safari car when her driver overtook the vehicle ahead of him and crashed into a truck. While Akhtar escaped unhurt, Azmi sustained injuries. She was initially admitted to MGM Hospital in Panvel and later shifted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai.

Soon after the accident, Shabana Azmi was flooded with ‘get well soon’ wishes from across the film fraternity. Farhan Akhtar, Anil Kapoor, Tabu and others also visited the actor in the hospital.
