Veteran actress Zeenat Aman posted on social media and remembered her crush and late actor. She said that she was crazy about this actors sparkling eyes and charming personality since her school days. Zeenat also mentioned her meeting with the actor while sharing a clip of the film Satyam Shivam Sundaram on Instagram. Still couldnt guess which actor we are talking about?
This actor was Zeenat Amans school crush; he is...
The actor in question is none other than Shashi Kapoor. Zeenat in an Instagram post revealed I first met Shashi Kapoor when I was in boarding school in Panchgani. Shashi had come with his future wife Jennifer for the Shakespeareana Theatre Company work. The students present there were impressed by Shashi Kapoors performance on stage. He was an actor who was every girls favourite.
Zeenat said that she tried very hard to get a glimpse of Shashi Kapoor. She said “I was lucky that Shashi lived in South Bombay which was not very far from my house. Now neighbors talk and soon the news spread that Shashi Kapoor goes out for a walk every evening at sharp 6 oclock then my friends and I used to try to get a glimpse of him on the pretext of fresh air during the winter vacation. Of course all we wanted was to get a glimpse of that film star!”
When Zeenat worked with Shashi in films she found him to be a cheerful and intelligent person. Zeenat said “When I worked with him I realized that he was a funny intelligent and charming person. He made us laugh and talked a lot. We worked together in many memorable films like Roti Kapda Aur Makaan Chori Mera Kaam and Vakil Babu.”

When Zeenat Aman shared her first on-screen kiss with Shashi Kapoor
Referring to a scene from Satyam Shivam Sundaram Zeenat said that her first on-screen kiss scene was much talked about and there was a lot of uproar about it but she was completely comfortable while shooting it. She said This scene was a big moment in my career. I know I have already said a lot about Satyam Shivam Sundaram but I decided to share this clip with you for two reasons.
She further added There was a lot of uproar about this scene at that time but it is actually very sacred. I really did not feel uncomfortable even for a moment while shooting it. Secondly the school girl (Zeenat) still remembers that madness with the same excitement because she worked on the silver screen with her crush and her dream came true. Praising Shashi she said He was a wonderful person. It is really very special to see his legacy flourish in the form of Prithvi Theatre.
