Zeenat Aman who rose to stardom in the 70s and broke many stereotypes during that time, continues to remain iconic over the years. While she worked with some of the top heroes that time, she also carved her own niche. The actress continues to woo the audience as she shares anecdotes about her old movies and co-stars. In an old interview, Zeenat was seen talking about her co-stars Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna.For those not in the know, many actors of those times have always confessed that Rajesh Khanna had tantrums and would always arrive late on set. She had said in an old interview with Shemaroo Lifestyle, “He was in control and everybody used to hail the hero and wait for him. I remember shooting Aashiq Hu Baharon Ka. We would start quite late. And he would be incharge-when I am going to come, when I am going to shoot, and when I am going to leave. It was all decided by Rajesh Khanna.” She had also shared, “Rajesh Khanna used to always be late on set.”Zeenat and Rajesh had worked together in movies like ‘Ajanabee’, ‘Jaanwar’, ‘Aashiq Hu Baharon Ka’.In the same interview, Zeenat had said that Amitabh Bachchan was extremely professional and never threw any tantrum on set. “He is a producer, director’s actor,” said Zeenat.Earlier, in an interview, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ director, Nag Ashwin had spoken about Bachchan’s discipine and said, “I think we were shooting, and were delayed. We were trying to catch up and he came up to me and I was trying to make an excuse to him about the delay and he’s like, ‘Can I just use the restroom and come?’ I said, ‘Why are you asking me, sir, you can do whatever you want.’ So he’s just he’s just that great.”Bachchan had responded to the director’s comment and expressed on his blog that why does he take his permission even for a washroom break. He expressed, “It is not being humble of setting example .. it’s just an act of extreme normality .. and the hullabaloo is deafening ..And the director saying it was one hellava thing that I asked him permission to go to the washroom during the shoot ..Yes I do need to take permission .. it is his set, his time , he is the Captain, I am the servant that has been employed, if I need to go for nature’s call , I must seek his permission!”
