The Koffee With Karan S8 finale episode concluded with veteran actors Zeenat Aman and Neetu Singh as guests. And, to be honest, the episode became our favourite for the season, primarily because we adore Aman’s personality. Ever since she’s joined Instagram, and has quite literally taken over our feeds with her endearing anecdotes and breathtaking pictures, it’s like we have developed a new-found feeling of admiration and respect for her.
Naturally, her presence in the KwK episode was a treat. Here are some of the things she talked about on the couch that just added to our affection for her.
1. Zeenat Aman on her Instagram game, which is literally the best among all celebrities
There’s something about her Instagram handle that radiates positivity. Perhaps, this is simply because it comes from a place of heartfelt honesty, a desire to share stories. And THAT is rare, not something you find very often in the deep rabbit hole of social media.
2. On how she became the iconic Rupa from ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram‘
She went to great lengths to play Rupa. Even Raj Kapoor at the time remarked that Aman need not have done this, and it is because she was so passionate about it that she landed that role.
3. On her feelings at the time when the shift came and the new-age actors were ready to take up the industry’s reins
4. Her take on ‘fame’
Fame – that fickle thing.
5. Zeenat Aman is somebody who is present in the present
During the buzzer game, Aman could not recollect everything she had done or played in the past. When Karan wondered if everything in the past was a blur, she beautifully replied –
6. On how was she different from the actors of her time
7. When she asserted that she is ‘Zeenat Aman’
During the rapid fire, Karan asked Zeenat Aman on what she had that Neetu Kapoor didn’t, and she said –
8. On one thing she taught her sons that she was proud about
9. Apparently, she had a slight crush for a mini duration on co-stars she shot romantic songs with
