Zeenat Aman is one of the legendary actors in Bollywood. She has been ruling many hearts for decades and has a fanbase of millions now.
Although she is new to social media, she is definitely more sassy than many of us-but well, that’s who Zeenat Aman is-the best at everything. In one of her earlier posts, she revisited her time while shooting for the iconic track, Samundar Mein Naha Ke and it is going viral yet again.
Untold story behind popular track Samundar Mein Naha Ke
The track shows the stunning chemistry between Zeenat and the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan. The diva, taking to her caption, explained how Big B had returned from the life-threatening injury that occurred on the sets of Coolie in 1982 for the shoot.
She expressed, “Uff… I’ll be candid. This is a bit of a gratuitous post brought on by the summer. It’s just so damn hot! The weather, I mean. Though I won’t be too coy to say that Mr Bachchan and I romancing to those salty lyrics are quite sizzling too.”
Further, Zeenat added, “Director-producer Ramesh Behl’s Pukar was a blast to shoot. Its anti-colonial underpinning, excellent cast and catchy songs were what drew me to the script. Now Goa in the early 80s was quiet, idyllic and unpeopled. So Samundar Mein Naha Ke was shot on an empty beach, and it was an easy-breezy affair.”
“For me at least! I didn’t have any lip-syncing to do, nor much choreography to learn. The brief was as basic as they come – look pretty! So there I was in a titillating white outfit, with a bit of midriff on display, rolling around in the surf, while Mr Bachchan pranced around me like an ardent bird-of-paradise.”
Amitabh Bachchan’s first shoot after Coolie set injury
She then shared another tidbit about Amitabh Bachchan from the song’s shooting days. The actress revealed, “This was Mr. Bachchan’s first shoot after the life-threatening accident he suffered on the sets of Coolie in 1982. Bachchan mania was well-established in the country by then, and the nation practically held its breath till he was in the clear.”
“So as you can imagine, the atmosphere on set was particularly buoyant during the making of this film,” she concluded.
On the work front, Zeenat Aman was last seen in Netflix series The Royals, co-starring Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Chunky Panday, Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Milind Soman, Dino Morea, Sumukhi Suresh, Udit Arora, Lisa Mishra, and Luke Kenny.
