We shot the series at R K Studios, and my costumes were designed by Oscar winner Bhanu Athaiya. Anyone acquainted with the history of Bollywood will know that there was much controversy and brouhaha about my character Rupa in Satyam Shivam Sundaram. I was always quite amused by the accusations of obscenity as I did not and do not find anything obscene about the human body. I am a director’s actor and these looks were part of my job. Rupa’s sensuality was not the crux of the plot, but a part of it. As it is, the set is not even remotely a sensual space. Every move is choreographed, rehearsed and performed in front of dozens of crew members.”
The iconic actress recently made her Instagram debut by sharing couple of pictures from her recent photoshoot.
Zeenat Aman had also worked in other popular movies such as, Roti Kapda Aur Makaan, Dharamveer, Ajanabee and her breakthrough movie Hare Rama Hare Krishna
