Zeenat Aman’s Romantic Crushes And Helen’s Books On The Sets

MUMBAI – Veteran stars Zeenat Aman and Helen took a stroll down memory lane as they talked about romance, crushes on co-stars, and the golden days of Hindi cinema on the sets of singing based reality show ‘Indian Idol.’

With interaction led by host Aditya Narayan, Helen spoke about romantic co-stars and off-screen interactions, with her trademark wit and simplicity.

She shared, “I wasn’t very interactive. I would take a chair and a book and quietly sit in one corner.”

Recalling how people perceived her quiet nature, she added humorously, “People used to say that she looks at everyone as if they were furniture.”

Zeenat Aman chimed in, playfully clarifying the question: “Are you talking about my personal life, or the romance that happens on screen?”

As she showed the picture of late star Dev Anand on screen, she reflected on her journey, sharing, “Of course, I started with a sister’s role, but in my other films, I was very romantic.”

The conversation became even more candid when Aditya asked if Zeenat had ever had a crush on a co-star.  With honesty, she said, “Yes, I did have crushes on my co-workers.” She added: “If there was a romantic song, I’d develop a little crush during the song, for two or three days. Then it was the next movie, the next song, the next crush.” (IANS)
