Zeenat Aman asked why film stars struggle to make marriages work: ‘I know of girls who put up with things that normal people wouldn’t’

Zeenat, who was married to late actor Mazhar Khan for 13 years, had once said on Simi Grewal’s chat show that she led an unhappy married life. She continues to believe that people should stay single instead of bearing the pain of a bad marriage. “Har ek ki journey alag hai and it’s better not be married than have a bad marriage. Something that people do not understand that when artists get married, they work hard to make their marriage work,” said Zeenat, who has two sons from her marriage. The actor continued, “All the sacrifices girls make, I think people who are not in the limelight, itna nahi karte because they get married because they want to be married and I know quite a lot of girls, they put up with things that most normal people would not put up with.”

The interviewer brought up an old incident of Asha once being spotted with a gentleman from America in a coffee shop at 2am. The veteran actor seemed uncomfortable, and refused to talk about it. She only said, “It was supposed to be an arranged marriage and main uss baat ko dohraana nahi chahti (It was supposed to be an arranged marriage and I don’t want to talk about that incident).”
