Veteran queen Zeenat Aman took to Instagram and wrote a beautiful post talking about her rizz crush in the Bollywood. But the post took an interesting turn.
Zeenat posted a picture of herself and Feroz and wrote, “I read somewhere that Oxford’s word for the year 2023 is ‘rizz’- short for ‘charisma’. Well, if I’ve ever known anybody to have rizz, it was Feroz Khan.
Zeenat Told She Rejected Feroz
“Feroz and I had a rocky start. It was the 70s, my star was on the rise, and he called me on the telephone to offer me a role in his upcoming production. It was a secondary part, and so I politely refused the offer. Feroz was incensed and let out a stream of expletives while I held the receiver away from my ear!”
Zeenat further wrote, how two of them started working together. And an incident where she was fined for being late on the set.
She continued, “Many months later, he called again. This time he started his pitch by saying – ‘it’s the lead role so don’t reject it’. And that’s how I joined the cast of Qurbani. I often discuss set etiquette in my captions, so I’d be amiss to neglect Feroz’s influence on me in this regard. I was quite a diligent worker, but on one occasion my youth got the better of me. Though we had an early call time the next day, I agreed to go out to a party. It was a fantastic night of dance and drink, and unsurprisingly I landed up one hour late to set.”
After Which Feroz Deducted Her Salary
Zeenat concluded, “Feroz was glowering behind his camera, and before I could offer him my meagre excuse, he cut me down to size. ‘Begum, you’re late and you’re going to pay for the delay.’ No argument, no scolding, but you can be sure that he docked my pay to pay the crew for that one hour delay! Feroz was suave, charming, and polished. He was a talented actor-director, and Qurbani remains one of my favourite projects to date. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this anecdote and I hope 2024 is off to a roaring start for you!”
Fardeen Reacts
Well after this fardeen Khan, son of Feroz Khan responded through an Instagram story and informed the actress about Feroz treating family in the same manner, and not sparing them either.
On his Instagram Stories, Fardeen wrote, “@thezeenataman aunty, if it’s any consolation, the family wasn’t spared either. We just received the standard family discount of 25% (smiling emoji). Khan Saab would have loved your post. He would have laughed out loud (folding hands emojis).” Sharing his post on her Instagram, Zeenat posted a purple heart emoji.
