It&rsquo;s the perfect plot for a light-hearted film &mdash; two 60-plus divas bonding during time of crisis, thousands of feet above the ground. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jul/jaya-bachchan.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 426px; " /> Last week, Shabana Azmi&rsquo;s flight back from London to Mumbai was struck by lightening. Recalling the harrowing experience at Heathrow airport Shabana says, &ldquo;Luckily, the passengers had not boarded when lightening struck our flight. But it triggered off an interminable delay which would have been unbearable were it not for the company I unexpectedly found.&rdquo; Jaya Bachchan, Shabana learnt, was travelling by the same flight. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jul/Shabana-Azmi_2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 567px; " /> &ldquo;It was just providential. I don&rsquo;t know what I&rsquo;d have done or how I&rsquo;d have coped if I hadn&rsquo;t found Jaya among the stranded co-passengers,&rdquo; says Shabana. Shabana and Jaya spent the next 24 hours having the time of their lives. &ldquo;I just love Jaya&rsquo;s company. She speaks her mind, and calls a spade a spade. We spoke about things we can never discuss in Mumbai. We got the chance to truly bond, something that we rarely do in Mumbai.&rdquo; Shabana was not too pleased with the way the London airport handled the crisis. &ldquo;We were left unattended for hours. At 11.30 pm, the counters were closed and at 12 am, we simply had to leave the airport because it closes down at midnight.&rdquo; Thankfully, Shabana and Jaya gave each other company while an alternative flight was arranged. &ldquo;But it&rsquo;s not an airport crisis that I am likely to forget easily,&rdquo; says Shabana.u00a0
