ABOUT zeenat aman

Zeenat Aman: A Legacy of Glamour and Resilience Zeenat Aman, born November 19, 1951, is an iconic figure in Indian cinema. Her journey began with winning the Femina Miss India and Miss Asia Pacific International pageants in 1970, swiftly transitioning into acting with roles in The Evil Within (1970) and Hulchul (1971). Her breakthrough performance in Dev Anand's Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971) garnered her the Bengal Film Journalists' Association Award for Best Actress and a Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress, establishing her as a rising star. Throughout the 1970s, Aman delivered a string of memorable performances in films like Yaadon Ki Baaraat, Roti Kapada Aur Makaan, Ajanabee, Warrant, and Don, cementing her status as a leading lady. Her role in the controversial Satyam Shivam Sundaram (1978) earned her a Filmfare Best Actress nomination. The decade also saw a high-profile marriage to Sanjay Khan, which ended amidst widely publicized allegations of domestic violence. The 1980s witnessed continued success with roles in Abdullah, Qurbani, Dostana, and Insaf Ka Tarazu, earning another Filmfare Best Actress nomination. Post-marriage to Mazhar Khan in 1985, her film appearances reduced, but she returned to the screen periodically, showcasing her versatility in diverse roles across independent films and a web series, Love Life & Screw Ups (2017). Recent appearances include Panipat (2019). Aman’s career is marked not just by cinematic achievements but also by her resilience in navigating personal challenges.
