Javed Akhtar was recently questioned about the best gift he has received in his lifetime. He revealed that his children, Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar doing well in life is the best gift he could have asked for. The writer said, “I think the best one, and the one I am thankful about, is my children. They have done well in their lives. It becomes an emotionally and socially aesthetic situation, if both your children go on to achieve so much. That’s the best gift I could have gotten."
