Shabana Azmi Wants You To "Look At How Closely" Alia Bhatt Resembles Her Mom Soni Razdan

"Carbon copy," Shibani Dandekar commented on the post

Shabana Azmi, who loves to share throwback gems from her collection, added another one to her Instagram profile on Tuesday. It happens to be a picture of Soni Razdan, Shabana Azmi and late actress Smita Patil from Shyam Benegal's filmMandi  (1983), which was an adaptation of Ghulam Abbas' classic Urdu story Aanand. The film showcased the lives of women staying in brothels and it touched upon the socio-political obstacles that they had to face. Shabana Azmi, sharing the picture on Instagram, wrote: "Still from Mandi. Look at how closely Alia Bhatt resembles her mother Soni Razdan." Shabana Azmi's Instafam couldn't agree more with her and that clearly reflected in the comments section of her post. Shibani Dandekar commented on the post: "Carbon Copy." Actress Sandhya Mridul added, "Ohhhh my fav film and you marvellous beautiful women. And wow yes alia does look just like Soni Razdan... I told her just that when we shot recently." Smita Patil's son Prateik Babbar dropped a heart emoji in the comments section of the post. Take a look at the post shared by Shabana Azmi here:
