Veteran screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar recently opened up about his first marriage and how alcoholism led to his divorce. Javed got married to veteran screenwriter Honey Irani in 1972. He has two children with Irani -- filmmaker and actor Farhan Akhtar, and director-producer Zoya Akhtar. After the two separated, Javed tied the knot with veteran actress Shabana Azmi in 1984. 

In an interview on Mojo Story, Javed batted for the Uniform Civil Code and said that as per Muslim law, he was only responsible for paying alimony to Irani for four months only, but he went against it because she was his responsibility.
