Zoya Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar share an amazing brother-sister bond with each other. Talking to the official Humans of Bombay page once, Zoya had opened up about her equation with her sibling, Farhan. She had revealed, "Pieces of my life, no matter how scattered, are being stitched together and reflect in my work. The biggest piece is my family -- from watching films like The Godfather on our dining room wall to having a great relationship with my sibling. Or going on weekend trips with our cousins to the beach and eating all day… it’s been a crazy childhood; a ‘bohemian one'."

The Gully Boy director had further added, "My love for the arts started at home -- most of the people we met were artists- actors, directors, musicians, writers. The conversations my parents had about films were obviously more in-depth than the average audience. Screenplay, performances, lighting, shot-taking. And before you know my brother and I were looking at films slightly differently." (Must Read: Vivan Bhathena's Daughter, Nivaya's Yawning And Sleepy Monday Morning Is Basically All Of Us [VIDEO])

Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar had once appeared on Koffee with Karan season 3 in 2011. Talking about the same, a source had told the Mid-Day then, "This is the first time that the two have revealed family secrets. KJo has sensitively brought out intimate details they would never have revealed with anyone else. When asked who was responsible for the great equation they share with Shabana today, both admit that their mom Honey Irani and Azmi together contributed to that."

Zoya Akhtar, in an interview with SpotboyE, was asked as to how close she is with her brother, Farhan Akhtar. She had replied, "Very close. Our professional and personal lives are separate, but I am very close to him."

She was also asked about her personal life and why she isn't married yet. To this, the 46-year-old director had responded by saying, "I believe there is no one size that fits all. If being married makes you happy, then more power to you. And if being single makes you happy, then please continue being single. Nobody should be doing anything simply because he/she is supposed to do that."

Farhan Akhtar, on the other hand, was earlier married to Adhuna Bhabhani for 17 years, from 2000 to 2017. They got legally divorced a couple of years ago and currently, Farhan is dating model, VJ and actress, Shibani Dandekar.
