Early life

Zeenat Aman was born Zeenat Khan in Bombay on 19 November 1951.[1][2] Her mother, Scinda Vardhini Karvaste, is from Maharashtra. Aman is the cousin of actor Raza Murad and niece of actor Murad. Her father, Amanullah Khan,[3][1] was related to the Bhopal State ruling family. Her mother was Brahmin Maharashtrian and her father of Afghan descent. He was a script writer for movies such as Mughal-e-Azam and Pakeezah, and often wrote under the nom de plume "Aman", which she later adopted as her second name on screen. Her parents got divorced when she was young.[4] At the age of 13, Aman's father passed away. Her mother afterwards married a German man called Heinz and also obtained German citizenship.[5]

She did her schooling in Panchgani and went to University of Southern California in Los Angeles for further studies on student aid, but she could not complete her graduation. Her first job was as a journalist, writing for Femina magazine. She later took up work as a model, and modeled for various major/minor brands, of which include Taj Mahal Tea.[6]

Professional career

Aman first came to attention for partaking in beauty pageants. In 1970, she participated in the Femina Miss India pageant in which she won the second place (First runner-up) and was titled the 'First Princess'.[7] Following this, she competed in the Miss Asia Pacific International pageant, which she also won, becoming the first Femina Miss India titleholder to win the pageant.[8]

In 1970, after winning her pageants, Aman starred in The Evil Within alongside Dev Anand.[9]

In 1971 she appeared in small roles in O. P. Ralhan’s Hulchul and Hungama; both films were flops at the box-office.[10][11] [12] Aman was preparing to leave India for Malta with her mother and stepfather,[10] when Dev Anand approached her for the role of his sister in Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971). She accepted it and the rest as they say is history [13] - her performance in the film and the success of the song "Dum Maro Dum"[14] put her on the path to becoming a top heroine.[15] The movie brought her the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award[16] and BFJA Award for Best Actress[17].

In 1973 she starred in Heera Panna, Yaadon Ki Baaraat with Vijay Arora, and Dhund with Sanjay Khan and Danny Denzongpa.

In 1974, she starred in Manoj Kumar's critically acclaimed film Roti Kapda Aur Makaan which was declared a blockbuster[18] She was featured on the cover of the first issue of Cine Blitz magazine. She also starred in Prem Shastra, Ishq Ishq Ishq and Manoranjan. Ajanabee with Rajesh Khanna also turned out to be major success, establishing her as the no.2 actress.

In 1975, she appeared in Warrant and Chori Mera Kaam. Both films were successful.[19][20] 1976 was a dry year with only one release Deewaangee (Balika Badhu was an uncredited voice role).

Aman (left) portrayed the fictional character Roma in the original Don film in 1978. In the reboot series, which began in 2006, Roma is portrayed by Priyanka Chopra (right).

She started 1977 with Paapi alongside Sanjeev Kumar and starred in Kalabaaz, Dharam Veer, Darling Darling, Chhailla Babu and Aashiq Hoon Baharon Ka. She also appeared in Hum Kisise Kum Naheen in a special appearance as Rishi Kapoor's girlfriend.

In 1978, she attempted to make an entry into Hollywood, which backfired when Krishna Shah's Shalimar co-starring Dharmendra and international names like Rex Harrison, John Saxon and Sylvia Miles, proved unsuccessful in both the United States and in India.[21] She next starred in Heeralaal Pannalal, Chor Ke Ghar Chor, Raj Kapoor's magnum opus Satyam Shivam Sundaram for which she earned her first Filmfare nomination in the best actress category and [21] the cult classic Don.[22] She did not charge any remuneration for her role of Roma in Don, to help the producer Nariman Irani, who was in financial crisis[23] The film became a major commercial success,[24] and has become highly influential throughout Bollywood, spawning a reboot series and the Don franchise.[25]

In 1979, she appeared in The Great Gambler, which under-performed at the box-office when released.[26] [27] and made a guest appearance in Gol Maal.

In 1980, she starred in Takkar, Ram Balram, Bombay 405 Miles, Abdullah, Adventures of Ali-Baba and the Forty Thieves, Dostana and Qurbani. Most of them were successful. Qurbani was the year's biggest hit,[28] and the soundtrack was internationally acclaimed.[29][30].[31] Her song Aap Jaisa Koi, sung by Nazia Hassan and achieved cult status, topping all the charts and Hassan winning the Filmfare Award.[32] The same year she was cast as a rape victim seeking justice in B. R. Chopra’s Insaaf Ka Tarazu. The film was a big hit and also critically acclaimed. Aman received her second nomination for the Filmfare Best Actress Award.[30]

In 1981, Aman appeared in four films - Professor Pyarelal, Katilon Ke Kaatil, Krodhi and Lawaaris. In 1983, she starred in Mahaan and Pukar [33] Most of Aman's later films had limited success at the box office. Her last major appearance was in Gawahi, a courtroom drama in 1989.

Acting comeback and theatre debut (1999–present)
Aman in 2012

After 10 years of being inactive in the industry, Aman appeared in a cameo role in the film Bhopal Express (1999). However, she didn't appear in another film until 2003, when she appeared as Alice in the film Boom. The film turned to drastically under-perform at the box-office,[34] creating a set of financial problems for the film's crew, including the producer Ayesha Shroff, who had discussed about it.[35]

In 2004, she appeared as Mrs. Robinson in the play The Graduate staged at St Andrew's auditorium in Mumbai. She had also made an appearance along with actress Hema Malini in the popular show Koffee with Karan hosted by Karan Johar.[36] Aman then had roles in the films Maksham (2005), Jaana... Let's Fall in Love (2006) as Raju's mother, and in Chaurahen which was released in 2012 but had originally been filmed and shelved in 2007.[37] In 2008, Aman starred in the feature film Ugly Aur Pagli in a special appearance. In the year following, she starred in the film Geeta in Paradise (2009).

In 2008, 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 the IIFA awards 2010 held at Colombo, Sri Lanka.

In 2010, Aman starred as Rebecca in the film Dunno Y... Na Jaane Kyon. The film was originally aired at film festivals nationwide, and drew an immense amount of controversy. The film had been panned by critics for its gay stereotypes,[38] however, the film achieved success throughout festivals and achieved a theatrical release as well throughout many other countries.[39] The movie was also the first to have a gay kiss and lovemaking included. In the film, Aman performed her hit songs Aap Jaisa Koi and Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo.[40] It won various awards, and later spawned the sequel Dunno Y2... Life Is a Moment which was released in 2014, which Aman had also starred in. In 2012, Aman was cast as the main role of Roma in the film Strings of Passion.

Aman had roles in the films Dil Toh Deewana Hai (2016) and Sallu Ki Shaadi (2017). Sallu Ki Shaadi was a tribute to the actor Salman Khan,[41] and later received highly negative reviews, criticised by critics for its B movie elements. In 2017, Aman was cast in the short-lived web series Love Life & Screw Ups, in which she played the main role of Joanna, a spinster with a drastic love life and personal problems, who frequently mingles with younger people.[42] The show was featured in international film festivals, being the first Indian web series to be shown at a festival in Poland.[43] The series, being viewed negatively at first,[42] was eventually received positively, with Aman's performance being praised.[43]

In June 2019, it was announced that Aman joined the main cast of the film Panipat as Sakina Begum, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Kriti Sanon, Arjun Kapoor and Padmini Kolhapure.[44][45][46] It was released theatrically on 6 December 2019 in India, but was commercially unsuccessful.[47][48]

In February 2020, it was announced that Aman is staging a comeback in theatre, appearing in a play on Kasturba Gandhi. [49]

Image and artistry

Aman's roles and characters were more unconventional at the time. She portrayed more strong characters, and had varying roles rather than consistently playing the average girl stereotype. Aman had a big part in breaking the taboo and rules of Hindi cinema, and is considered a revolutionary actress of her time, influencing other well-known actresses such as Rekha, Sridevi, Parveen Babi, and others.[11]

In March 2016, an exhibition created by artist Mina Siddique was launched in Dubai, which featured various works and arts in dedication to Aman, which was titled as Zeenat Aman, with the tagline "Redefining Beauty".[50][51] The event was attended by Aman herself, as well as members from various countries, including UAE and Pakistan.[52]

In April 2019, Bollywood Hungama listed Aman as one of the "10 Hottest Bollywood Actresses Of All Time".[53] She has frequently been cited as the original sex symbol of Bollywood, and is notorious for her figure and looks.[54] However, Aman has stated that she didn't take the term seriously,[55] and rather felt restricted by it.[56]

Personal life

Marriages and family

Zeenat Aman went through two marriages, one with Sanjay Khan for a year, and one with Mazhar Khan, from 1985 to his death in 1998. She had two children with Mazhar Khan, and was married for a total of 13 years. In both of these marriages, Aman stated she was unhappy.[57] She commented on her marriage with Mazhar Khan in 2014, telling Times Of India:

"Mazhar never wanted me to grow as an individual or as an artist. He always wanted me to be with the kids and be at home. During the very first year of marriage I realised I had made a huge mistake, but I decided to live by it and make it work. I tried to make it work for another 12 years. There was no light at the end of the tunnel for me. There was not a single moment of happiness or joy during those 12 years. But I still tried making it work."

Aman has two sons with Mazhar Khan; film director Azaan Khan,[58] who directed the heist film Bankster,[58] and composer Zahaan Khan.[59] He has also made a cameo appearance in the 2000 film Gang. She lives with her sons, since Mazhar's death in 1998.[60]

Abuse incidents

In 1980, Aman had been aggressively beaten by Sanjay Khan.[61] Aman had received a phone call from Khan asking to discuss specifics for the film Abdullah, where she then reluctantly decided to meet him at the hotel he was staying at, where she was then taken into a separate room of the hotel as there was a private party going on at the time she arrived. Aman was then beaten, resulting in many injuries after the incident.[62] This had been witnessed by his wife, who had allegedly cheered him on to keep beating Aman.[62] This incident was also the cause of damage in one of her eyes, leading to a lazy eye. Hotel security later intervened, stopping the incident. Aman has said that she pretends it never happened.[63]

In February 2018, Aman filed a rape case against businessman Aman Khanna, better known as Sarfaraz.[64] After stalking, harassing, and robbing Aman, as well as allegedly raping Aman various times, charges were pressed against Khanna in which he was then incarcerated.[65] The incidents described were said to have taken place between 2011 and 2016.[64][65]
