Zeenat Aman's Instagram game is on a whole another level. The legendary actress often shares heartfelt and candid moments from her life and decades-long career. She also talks about memories of working with several co-actors. On Thursday, the veteran actor also had an AMA session on Reddit where she answered several questions asked by Redditers.
During the same interaction, a fan asked which was a role from the last few years that Aman would like to have played and the veteran actress shared a role from a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film featuring Priyanka Chopra.
What was the question?
A Reddit user asked Zeenat , “Hello, Ma'am! My question is, 'While watching the recent Bollywood films, have you ever felt that I would have nailed this role in my time?'” to which Zeenat said, "I don't know whether I would have nailed it, but I would have loved the chance to play Priyanka Chopra's character in Bajirao Mastani. It was a complex role that piqued my interest.”
Many users felt that Zeenat Aman would have done a great job in the role.
Priyanka played the role of Kashibai in the Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh starrer- 'Bajirao Mastani'. The historical drama was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Chopra played a supporting role in it. Despite a small role, Priyanka was appreciated and well-awarded for her performance.
Another question that caught everyone's attention was when Zeenat was asked if she could share the difference in the industry now to what it was in the 70s. To this, the actor replied, “I know people like to criticise the Hindi film industry, and much of it is valid. But I think a major and positive improvement I see is that there are women at every rung of the process pulling their weight and claiming their place with competence. In my time, it wasn't unusual to be the only woman on set! So this is a striking difference to me.”
Zeenat Aman will next be seen in the Netflix series 'The Royals' and the film 'Bun Tikki'.
