Shabana Azmi shares health update
Informing her followers about her absence from the Mumbai protest, Azmi wrote that she had planned to join demonstrators but was unable to do so after being diagnosed with H1N1. She wrote, “”My dear Mumbaikars, I was meant to join your protest yesterday, but I’ve come down with H1N1 and need to remain in isolation for the next five days.”
Despite her illness, the actor said she remains closely connected with the movement and continues to receive updates from those participating on the ground.
Actor praises students’ courage
Azmi also lauded the determination shown by young protesters, many of whom, she said, were taking part in a demonstration for the first time: “I want to express my solidarity and appreciation. I’m receiving first-hand reports from the young people on the ground. Many of them have taken part in a protest for the first time and have experienced how much their voice counts.”
She added that their commitment continues to inspire her: “I continue to be inspired by your courage and commitment and stand by you in solidarity.”
The veteran actor concluded her post by sharing a poem written by her late father, renowned poet Kaifi Azmi.
Azmi has been among the few celebrities who chose to participate in the protests in person instead of limiting their support to social media. During the demonstrations at Jantar Mantar, she marched alongside students, rode atop a protest vehicle with actor Prakash Raj, addressed the gathering and was also seen serving food to students observing a hunger strike.
