© Thinkworks Pvt Ltd – Serendipitiously discovered by the Hindi Film industry when she returned from California, Zeenat Aman was a radiant being smoking a pipe. Since then, she has been a part of every blockbuster in the 70s and 80s. She redefined the aesthetic of Bollywood — grey roles were written for her, probably for the first time, breaking down the binaries of the vamp and the heroine in hindi cinema. Yet in her personal life, she payed the price for an open heart. In the life that she lived, paying her dues for love, she gained lessons that are resonant even today.
