Bollywood power couple Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar made a stylish red-carpet debut at the BAFTA Awards 2026 in London, adding strong Indian representation to the prestigious ceremony.
Glamorous Red Carpet Appearance
The couple walked hand-in-hand, turning heads with their elegant ensembles.
Farhan opted for a classic black tuxedo, while Shibani stunned in a golden satin gown. A photo shared by Diet Sabya on Instagram captured the duo posing confidently, with Farhan seen holding Shibani by the waist — reflecting both style and chemistry on the global stage.
Their appearance marked a special moment as they attended one of the most significant international film awards together.
‘Boong’ Competes at BAFTA
Farhan’s production banner Excel Entertainment backs the film Boong, which is competing in the Best Children’s & Family Film category at this year’s BAFTAs.
Directed by debutant filmmaker Lakshmipriya Devi, the film’s nomination highlights growing global recognition for independent Indian cinema in international award circuits.
Hollywood Debut With ‘The Beatles’ Project
Farhan Akhtar is also gearing up for his international acting debut in filmmaker Sam Mendes’ upcoming project titled The Beatles.
The film series — structured as four interconnected biopics — will see Farhan portray legendary Indian sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar.
Ravi Shankar’s close friendship with George Harrison played a key role in introducing Indian classical music to Western pop culture, making this role particularly significant for Farhan’s global career expansion.
The project is expected to release theatrically worldwide in April 2028.
Celebrating Four Years of Marriage
On the personal front, Farhan and Shibani recently marked their fourth wedding anniversary.
The couple tied the knot in 2022 in an intimate ceremony attended by close friends and family.
Farhan shared heartfelt anniversary wishes on social media, writing:
“To the woman who makes everything feel better… happy fourth anniversary Shu.”
Shibani responded with her own message:
“8 and 4. Happy Anni… To forever and beyond.”
Their public celebration reflected both love and continuity alongside their growing professional achievements.
With international recognition at BAFTA and an upcoming Hollywood project, Farhan Akhtar continues to expand his artistic footprint beyond Bollywood.
