Zeenat Aman
Zeenat Aman (Hindi: ज़ीनत अमान, Urdu: زینت امان) (born 19 November 1951) is an Indian actress who has appeared in Hindi films, notably in the 1970s and 1980s. She was the second runner up in the Miss India Contest and went on to win the Miss Asia Pacific in 1970. Upon making her debut in Bollywood, Aman, along with Parveen Babi
was credited with making a lasting impact on the image of its leading
actresses by bringing the western heroine look to Hindi cinema, and
throughout her career has been considered a sex symbol.[1][2][3]
Early life
Zeenat Aman was born in Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay) on 19 Nov 1951 to a Muslim father, Amanullah Khan and a Hindu mother, Scinda.[4] Her father was a script writer who was one of the writers for such movies as Mughal-e-Azam and Pakeezah.
He died when Zeenat was 13. Her mother got re-married to a German,
Heinz (was constantly referred to as Mrs. Heinz in all subsequent
articles film magazines would carry on Zeenat). Zeenat's mother obtained
German citizenship, and took her to Germany, where Zeenat was very
unhappy, returning to India as soon as she turned 18.
Aman graduated from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai and went to University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California for further studies on student aid. Upon returning to India, she first took a job as a journalist for Femina and then later on moved on to modeling.
One of the first few brands that she modeled for was Taj Mahal Tea and
Television X Debut in 1966 exclusively. She was the second runner up in
the Miss India Contest and went on to win the Miss Asia Pacific in 1970.
Film career
The beginning
After having studied in Los Angeles, winning the Miss Asia Pageant and a successful modeling career, Aman's film career began with a small role in O. P. Ralhan's Hulchul in 1971. A second role in Hungama (1971), starring singer Kishore Kumar, both films were not successful and she was ready to pack her bags to leave India and go back to Germany with her mother.
Dev Anand offered Zaheeda (his second heroine in Prem Pujari) the role of his sister in Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971). Not realizing the importance of this secondary role, Zaheeda wanted the lead female part (eventually played by Mumtaz), and she opted out. Aman was chosen as a last-minute replacement.[2]
In Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Aman, aided by R. D. Burman's song "Dum Maro Dum" (Take Another Toke), won over the heart's of audience as Janice. She earned a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award[5] and BFJA Award for Best Actress.[6] Throughout the 1970s, the Dev-Zeenat pairing was seen in half a dozen films: Heera Panna (1973), Ishq Ishq Ishq (1974), Prem Shastra (1974), Warrant (1975), Darling Darling (1977) and Kalabaaz (1977). Of these, Warrant, was the biggest box-office success.
Her hip looks in Yaadon Ki Baaraat
(1973) as the girl carrying a guitar, singing "churaliya hai tumne jo
dil ko" (in Asha Bhonsle's voice) has won her more popularity and the
hearts of millions of fans.[2]
She appeared on every Hindi film magazine's cover during 1970s. In
December 1974, Cine Blitz magazine was launched with Zeenat Aman on its
cover, a testimony to her popularity at the time. However, she went on
as the favourite cover girl of the popular magazine 'Stardust'.
The 1970s
Zeenat Aman, in her career and her success with Navketan Films and Dev Anand, found success with other banners such as B.R. Chopra, Raj Kapoor, Manmohan Desai, Feroz Khan, Nasir Hussain, Manoj Kumar, Prakash Mehra, Raj Khosla and Shakti Samanta.
In 1978, she starred in Raj Kapoor's massively publicised Satyam Shivam Sundaram
(1978), however, the film was heavely criticized. The subject
ironically dealt with the notion of the soul being more attractive than
the body, but Kapoor chose to showcase Aman's sex-appeal. The actress
was highly criticized for her exposure but somehow, later on the film
had a great deal to do with Zeenat's fame and the movie itself was
distinguished as a work of art. She also earned a Filmfare nomination as Best Actress for this film.[2]
Zeenat Aman's entry into Hollywood also backfired when Krishna Shah's Shalimar (1978), co-starring Dharmendra and international names like Rex Harrison and Sylvia Miles, proved to be a failure in the USA and in India.[2] Zeenat possessed a convent schoolgirl accent and a penchant for revealing dresses. She matched Gina Lollobrigida in the battle of oomph at Shalimar's launch. 1978 could have been a disaster year for her, because of the diminishing box office returns of "Shalimar" and discouraging critics riviews of Satyam Shivam Sundaram, but Zeenat had other successful commercial films during that year such as "Heeralal Pannalal" and Chor Ke Ghar Chor , yet it was Don that came to the rescue with its huge success. Ironically, her reasons for accepting the role in Don were altruistic, and she didn't even take any remuneration for it, because she wanted to help the producer, Nariman Irani, who died midway filming.[7]
Her role of a Westernized revenge-seeking action heroine contributed to
the film's huge success, and her fans reconnected with her again.
Westernised heroines like Parveen Babi and Tina Munim now followed in her footsteps, by the late 1970s. Aman continued to act in hits like Dharam Veer, Chhaila Babu and The Great Gambler.
The 1980s
By the beginning of the 1980s multi-starrers films became a trend,
and Zeenat Aman was increasingly asked to just provide sex appeal in
hero-oriented, despite success in so many films. In contrast to this
trend was her performance as a rape victim seeking justice in B. R. Chopra's Insaaf Ka Tarazu (1980) for which she received a Filmfare Best Actress nomination. This film was followed by success in the love triangle Qurbani, Ali Baba aur 40 Chor, Dostana (1980) and Lawaaris (1981).[2]
Zeenat's popularity in Russia was so great after Alibaba Aur 40 Chor that she felt pressured into doing a supporting role in Sohni Mahiwal. The film was moderately successful but no credit went to Zeenat.[citation needed]
Her last role as the female lead was in the movie Gawahi, a court room drama, in 1989.
The 1990s and 2000s
Zeenat came back to the silver screen after a decade doing a cameo role in the film Bhopal Express (1999).
The 2000s
Zeenat went on to do roles in Boom (2003), Jaana... Let's Fall in Love (2006), Chaurahen (2007), Ugly Aur Pagli (2008), Geeta in Paradise (2009),Dunno Y... Na Jaane Kyon (2010) and "Strings of Passion" (2012).
In 2004, she appeared as Mrs. Robinson in the play The Graduate staged at St Andrew's auditorium in Mumbai.
Aman had a TV show called In Conversation with Zeenat made by B4U TV, and also made an appearance along with Hema Malini in the popular show Koffee with Karan hosted by Karan Johar.
Aman received a Lifetime Achievement Award during the Zee Cine Awards
function in 2008, as a recognition of her contribution to Hindi Cinema.
She also received An Outstanding Contribution to Indian Cinema award
at IIFA awards 2010 held at Colombo, Sri Lanka. She dedicated this award
to her mother.
Image
Aman's sultry persona was a contrast to many of the more conservative stars of the era.[2]
At a time when heroines were obedient wives and lovers on the screens
of Hindi Cinema, Aman was drawn to more unconventional roles—she was
cast as the opportunist who deserts her jobless lover for a millionaire (Roti Kapda Aur Makaan), the ambitious girl who considers having an abortion in order to pursue a career (Ajnabee), the happy hooker (Manoranjan), the disenchanted hippie (Hare Rama Hare Krishna), the girl who falls in love with her mother's one-time lover (Prem Shastra), and a woman married to a caustic cripple but involved in an extramarital relationship (Dhund). She managed to balance these roles with acting in more conventional films such as Chori Mera Kaam, Chhaila Babu, Dostana and Lawaaris, which is considered by many to be a landmark in Indian Cinema. Encyclopædia Britannica's
"Encyclopedia of Hindi Cinema" wrote, "Zeenat Aman had a definite
impact on the characterization of the heroine in Hindi films. With films
such as Hare Rama Hare Krishna and Yaadon Ki Baraat, she fashioned the image of the youthful and westernized woman in Hindi cinema."[1]
Aman's persona was such that newcomers were, and still are compared to her. Parveen Babi was called "The poor man's Zeenat Aman", Sarika was christened "Zeenat Aman 2" and Padmini Kolhapure was named "Baby Zeenat".
Personal life
In 1985, she got married to Mazhar Khan
and had two sons Azaan and Zahaan. Her husband Mazhar used to beat her
up often which ultimately led to their filing for divorce.[8] Mazhar Khan died in September 1998 (renal failure).
Today, Aman lives with her two sons and makes many social appearances
and film awards functions, she is rarely seen on screen. Azaan is more
keen in going behind the camera while Zahaan is interested in acting.[9]
As of February 2013, Aman is reportedly planning to marry a 36 year
old businessman from Mumbai, Shiva Sena member, Sarfaraz Ahmed.[10] But then again she has refuted the news of her getting married while at the same time acknowledging that she is in love.[11]

Waheeda Rehman
Waheeda Rehman is an Indian film actress who appears in Bollywood movies and is known for many successful and critically acclaimed movies from the 1950s, 60s and early 70s most notably C.I.D. (1956) and 5 Guru Dutt classics - Pyaasa (1957), 12 O'Clock (1958), Kaagaz Ke Phool (1959), Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Chaudhvin Ka Chand (1961). Her other notable works include Solva Saal (1958), Baat Ek Raat Ki (1962), Kohra (1964), Bees Sal Baad (1962), Guide (1965), Teesri Kasam, Mujhe Jeene Do (1966), Neel Kamal and Khamoshi (1969).
Early life
One of the most prominent actresses of the golden era, Waheeda Rehman was born into a Muslim family in Melapalayam, Thirunelveli district, Tamil Nadu, British India.[1] She and her sister learnt Bharatnatyam in Chennai, where Guru Trichunder Meenakshi Sundaram Pillai and in Bombay Guru Jayalaxmi Alva, doyen among nattuvanars taught[2] and performed on stage together. Her father, who was a district commissioner, died while she was in her teens.[3][4]
It is a common misconception that Rehman was born in Hyderabad.[1] “It’s a long story,” she says, “When I was in Chennai, I did two Tamil and four Telugu movies. In the first one, Kaalam Maari Pochu along with Gemini Ganesan a bilingual film which was made in Tamil and Telugu as Rojulu Maraayi,
I did only a folk dance number in both Tamil and Telugu versions.
However, it went on to become a hit! I was in Hyderabad celebrating its
success and Guru Dutt happened to be there. He was on a lookout for new
faces and heard that I could speak in Urdu. It is because he spotted me
in Hyderabad that people assume I was born there.”[1]
Her dream was to become a doctor but, due to circumstances and
illness, she abandoned this goal. Instead helped by her supportive
parents, she hit the silver screen with Telugu films Jayasimha (1955), followed by Rojulu Marayi (1955) and Tamil film Kaalam Maari Pochu (1956). It is in Vijaya-Suresh's Ram aur Shyam (a remake of Telugu movie Ramudu Bheemudu) in 1967 that Waheeda acted again under the direction of the topnotch Telugu director Tapi Chanakya who incidentally directed her movies Rojulu Maaraayi in Telugu (1955) and Kaalam Maaripochu in Tamil (1956).
Career
Waheeda Rehman in Pyaasa
Waheeda Rehman, started her career in films in 1954 and her first successful films were the Telugu films Jayasimha (1955), Rojulu Marayi (1956) and Tamil film Kaalam Maari Pochu (1955).
In the success party of Rojulu Maaraayi, Guru Dutt noticed her
and decided to groom her and have her act in Hindi films. Waheeda
considered Guru Dutt as her mentor. Dutt brought her to Bombay (now Mumbai) and cast as a vamp in his production C.I.D. (1956), directed by Raj Khosla. A few years after joining the Hindi film industry, she lost her mother. After the success of C.I.D., Dutt gave her a leading role in Pyaasa (1957). Their next venture together, Kaagaz Ke Phool
(1959), depicted the story of a successful director's decline after he
falls for his leading lady. Dutt's existing marriage and her film
successes with other directors caused them to drift apart personally and
professionally, although they continued to work together into the 1960s
(Chaudhvin Ka Chand). She completed Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962) under some strain. They broke away from each other after its indifferent reception at the Berlin Film Festival in 1963. Soon afterward, Guru Dutt died on 10 October 1964 in Mumbai reportedly from an overdose of sleeping pills and alcohol.
Waheeda Rehman established a great working relationship with Dev Anand, and together as a pair had number of successful films to their credit. The box office hits of the pair include C.I.D. (1956), Solva Saal (1958), Kala Bazar (1960), Baat Ek Raat Ki (1962) and Guide (1965); box office duds were Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja (1961) and Prem Pujari (1970). She reached her peak with Guide (1965) and was much in demand. Rehman was cast as "Gulabi" in Satyajit Ray's Bengali film Abhijan
in 1962. She worked in comedy film Girl Friend in 1960 with Kishore
Kumar. She was offered lead actress's role in films even opposite actors
junior to her by experience like Dharmendra, but they flopped. But she
continued to taste success in the late sixties when she was paired with
well established stars. She delivered hits opposite Dilip Kumarin three successive years; " Dil diyaa Dard liyaa" in 1966, Ram Aur Shyam in 1967 and Aadmi in 1968 and some box office duds but critically acclaimed films with Rajendra Kumar
- Palki, Dharti and Shatranj ; two films opposite Raj Kapoor - " Ek dil
sau Afsane" and the acclaimed "Teesri Kasam" which was the debut film
of Basu Bhattacharyya; a few films opposite Biswajeet like, "Bees saal
baad" and "Kohra"; this helped her continue to get lead roles in the
early seventies. Her career's biggest hit Khamoshi came in 1970, opposite Rajesh Khanna.
Her career continued throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. She won the Filmfare Best Actress Award for her roles in Guide (1965), where she hit the peak of her career, and Neel Kamal (1968), but despite excellent offbeat roles in subsequent films, including a National Award winning performance in Reshma Aur Shera
(1971), some of the films failed at the box office. Seeing her films
being successful, Waheeda decided to experiment with roles at this stage
of career. She accepted Reshma Aur Shera, opposite her old co-star Sunil Dutt, with whom she had previously in the sixties had hits like Ek Phool Char Kaante, Mujhe Jeene Do, Meri Bhabhi and Darpan.
Her performance was appreciated by critics, but the film failed at the
box office. But Waheeda continued to experiment with roles and accepted
the offer to play a mother to Jaya Bhaduri in Phagun(1973).
This she regards the mistake of her career as after this film flopped
suddenly people started offering her motherly roles to heroes.
From the mid seventies, Waheeda's career as lead heroine ended and
her career as character actor began. At around this time, Kamaljit, who
starred opposite her in Shagun (1964), proposed and they got married in 1974. After her appearance in Lamhe (1991), she retired from the film industry for 12 years.
In her new innings from seventies her successful films, where she played pivotal roles include, Kabhi Kabhie (1976),Trishul (1978), Jwalamukhi(1980), Namkeen and Namak Halaal (1982),Mashaal (1984), Chandni(1989), Rang De Basanti(2006).
She played the central character in a Mahesh Bhatt directed tele-film
"Swayam" that starred Akash Khurana and Anupam Kher. She also appeared
in a tele-series being directed by Gulzar.
In recent years she made a comeback playing elderly mother and grandmother roles in Om Jai Jagadish (2002), Water (2005) and Rang De Basanti (2006), 15, Park Avenue and Delhi 6 (2009) which were all critically acclaimed.
In October 2004, a Waheeda Rehman film retrospective was held at the Seattle Art Museum and the University of Washington where Waheeda participated in spirited panel and audience discussions on her most memorable films—Pyaasa, Teesri Kasam and Guide—although her most successful film is still considered to be Khamoshi, with costar Rajesh Khanna.
Personal life
After her marriage with Shashi Rekhi (screen name Kamaljeet)[5] on 27 April 1974, she shifted to a farmhouse in Bangalore. She bore two children named Sohail and Kashvi, who are
(L-R) Nanda, Waheeda Rehman, Helen and Sadhana
writers. On 21 November 2000, her husband died following a prolonged illness. She moved back to her ocean view bungalow in Bandra, Mumbai where she currently lives.
