Zeenat Aman recalls her first day on a set: “Nothing like I had imagined”

Zeenat Aman reminisced about her initial experience on a film set in 1970 and shared an old black and white photo of herself on Instagram on Tuesday.

She wrote, “Poofy hair, an exaggerated collar, and a whole lot of sparkles. This picture just has to be from the 80s. It was one of those test shoots one does for fun, and that snazzy jacket was my prized possession at the time.”

In the photo, Zeenat is seen wearing a jacket in a shimmery silver colour with black collars. She had a smile on her face while posing for the camera.

Sharing about her first day on set, she added, “Let me rewind a little further and share an anecdote. The very first day that I walked onto a set in 1970, I looked around and was taken aback by how dull it all was. Wires snaked across the floor, heavy camera machinery was propped up on rusty trolleys, men ran hither and thither shouting instructions and ferrying supplies. It was nothing like I had imagined.”

“’But where’s the glamour?’ I exclaimed. OP Ralhan, my director, just smirked and drawled, ‘Babusha, you are the glamour’,” concluded Zeenat.

Zeenat Aman started as a model and later became a renowned actress, starring in films like Don, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Samraat, Laawaris, and more. She is not only known for her acting skills but also for her bold fashion choices, making her a significant figure in Bollywood history.
