Mumbai: Veteran actor Shabana Azmi on Thursday revealed that she is working on her memoir.

She joins the ever-expanding list of film personalities to pen down the most importantmoments of their lives and career in a book.

"I am writing my memoir but it is too early to talk about it," Azmi told PTI.

The actor was born to Kaifi Azmi, an Indian poet and stage actor Shaukat Azmi in 1950 in Hyderabad.

An alumna of Pune's Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Azmi has acted in films such as Ankur, Arth, Khandhar, Paar, Godmother, Mandi, Masoom, Fire and Water.

A winner of five National awards, Azmi was honoured with Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian honour of the country, in 1988.

She is married to poet and screenwriter Javed Akhtar.

On the work front, the 69-year-old actor will be seen in Sheer Qorma. The film tries understanding the longing for love and acceptance that queer children often feel. It talks of belonging and acceptance, identity and family.

Her future projects also includes Halo, a web series produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment.

Talking about Spielberg's Halo, Azmi had earlier said that the caste and crew in the production represents a microcosm of the world itself "because it embraces people from different nationalities, different cultures".

Shabana was last seen in Aparna Sen's 2017 film, Sonata.
