On Thursday, Shibani gave a shoutout to mother-in-law Shabana Azmi who featured in the teaser for the upcoming series 'Halo'. Sharing the teaser on her Instagram Stories, Shibani wrote, "This is incredible. Cannot wait to @azmishabana8 in @halotheseries. March 24th super excited super proud."

Earlier, Shabana had welcomed Shibani into the family. The actor shared a family picture of all of them together and wrote, "Happy family welcomes lovely Shibani into the family fold." Farhan's mother Honey Irani as well as his daughters Shakya and Akira were also in the frame. Farhan is lyricist Javed Akhtar's son with his first wife Honey.
