Timeline
Honey Irani is an Indian actress and screenwriter, who works in Hindi cinema.
She started her career as a child actor with roles in films such as Mahesh Kaul’s Pyar ki Pyas.
She was probably four to five years old when the shooting of the movies Chirag Kahan Roshni Kahan and Bombay Ka Chor started.
Honey Irani is the youngest of five siblings, the others being Menaka, Bunny, Sarosh, and Daisy Irani.
Irani's oldest sister, Menaka, is married to the stunt film-maker Kamran Khan.
Her other sister Daisy, who was also a famous child-star like herself, was married (till his death) to screenwriter K.K. Shukla, and is the mother of three children.
Irani met the script-writer and poet Javed Akhtar on the sets of Seeta Aur Geeta.
Irani became a devoted home-maker, but the marriage ended in divorce after her husband became involved with the actress Shabana Azmi in the mid-1970s.
They were married on 21 March 1972.
She is the mother of film-makers Zoya Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar.
Irani's eldest child, Zoya, was born on 14 October 1972, when her career as a child star had already ended and Javed's career as a script-writer had not yet properly begun.
They had no place to live, and were given a room in the house of Irani's older married sister Menaka.
Their son Farhan Akhtar was born in 1974.
The couple separated in 1978 and divorced in 1985.
While Akhtar married Shabana Azmi in 1984, Irani devoted herself to the care of her two young children, who were six years and four years old respectively in 1978.
She even started doing embroidery on sarees as a way of earning money to support her children.
Eventually, she managed to make a second career for herself as a writer of film scripts.
Both of Irani's children (son Farhan Akhtar and daughter Zoya Akhtar) grew up to be successful filmmakers in the Hindi film industry.
Honey Irani began her Bollywood career as a child actress with roles in films such as Chirag Kahan Roshni Kahan and Bombay Ka Chor.
She has acted in over 72 films.
After her divorce, she started doing embroidery on sarees to support her family.
Though she had been writing short stories all this while, she never shared them.
Yash Chopra had also previously asked her to develop a story idea, which went on to become her debut as a screenwriter, Lamhe (1991), starring Sridevi.
The film saw mediocre success, but she won the Filmfare Award for Best Story for the film and it paved her way for a successful career as screenwriter.
She narrated the story idea of Aaina (1993) to Pam Chopra, wife of Yash Chopra for a TV series, but he developed it into a film.
