Zeenat Aman on Modern Bollywood: Actresses Thrive After Marriage and Motherhood

Actress Zeenat Aman recently spoke about how much Bollywood has changed compared to the past. She said that today's actresses are getting more freedom and better opportunities than before. According to her, marriage or becoming a mother no longer has any negative impact on an actress's career.

Zeenat Aman said, "These days, actresses are getting good roles even after marriage and becoming a mother. This wasn't the case in my time. Back then, a heroine's career was very short." She explained that in the past, marriage or becoming a mother was often considered over after a heroine's career.

Zeenat Aman expressed happiness over the increasing presence of women in the film industry, especially behind the camera. She said, "I'm very proud that there are so many girls and women working on sets these days. In my time, there were no girls working on sets. It was just me and my hairdresser."

Regarding the changes in the industry, the actress said, "Now you see, in 'The Royals,' the camera person, producer, and director were all women. This is a beautiful change."

Zeenat Aman made her Hindi film debut in 1971 with the film 'Halchal.' She subsequently appeared in several hit films, including 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna,' 'Yaadon Ki Baaraat,' 'Don,' and 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram.' She was considered one of the most glamorous and progressive stars of the 1970s. Most recently, the actress appeared in the series 'The Royals.'
