Reminiscing about the golden days when she first worked with Zeenat Aman in 1974, the Mandi actress said that though Zeenat was a big star at that time, she never threw any tantrums and has always been very accessible, even for newcomers like her and actress Zarina Wahab.
While praising Zeenat for this special quality, the actress said, “I remember when I first worked with her in Ishk Ishk Ishk (1974), (actor) Zarina Wahab and I were complete newcomers whereas she was a very big star. But she didn’t throw her weight around and seemed accessible on the sets. That is a quality I find in her even today, and that I think is very special about her,” added Shabana Azmi.
