There were no pretences or airs about him, and that made me feel most comfortable on set," she wrote. This sentiment highlights the easy camaraderie and mutual respect that existed between the two actors, contributing to a positive and enjoyable working environment.
Language Exchange During 'Shalimar' Shoot
The actress reminisced about their collaboration on several films, particularly the international heist film Shalimar. Due to the film's simultaneous production in English and Hindi to cater to a global audience, both actors found themselves needing assistance with their respective dialogues. Zeenat Aman revealed a unique bonding experience, stating, "Well, Dharm ji required assistance with his English dialogues and I required help with my Hindi. And so, post the daily shoot you would find each of us with our respective tutors, studiously running our lines for hours." This shared struggle and mutual support created a strong bond between them, as they navigated the challenges of multilingual filmmaking.
'Kaatilon Ke Kaatil' and a Message of Acceptance
Zeenat Aman also shared two photographs with Dharmendra, providing context and insights into their shared history. "The first picture here is from the song Saare Bazaar Karenge Pyar from the film Kaatilon Ke Kaatil. It's an excellent number, with a full-fledged gender role reversal!" she wrote. She explained her choice of this particular image, stating, "I posted this image first because I think people should have the right to dress as they please, without being threatened or assaulted. Perhaps the picturization of the song was meant to be comical, but its message is clear-"दिखा दे हम मोहब्बत में है कितना दुनिया मानेगी मनेगी मानेगी मोहब्बत ऐसे होती है" (Show me how much we are in love, the world is bound to accept it, love is like this)". This caption reveals Zeenat Aman's progressive views and her desire to use her platform to promote acceptance and tolerance, even in the context of a lighthearted film song.
Her engaging storytelling and thoughtful reflections, provide us with a glimpse into the golden era of Bollywood, celebrating the camaraderie and professionalism that defined her working relationship with Dharmendra. Her post serves as a reminder of the enduring power of genuine connection and the importance of using one's voice to advocate for positive social change.

Olivia Munn reveals why she doesn't let her kids watch 'Ms. Rachel'
Picture Credit: X Hollywood actress Olivia Munn is not in favour of letting her kids watch 'Ms. Rachel'. The 'Your Friends & Neighbors' actress, 44, said that she doesn't let her kids Malcolm, 3, and Mei, 8 months, watch the YouTube creator's videos, or most kids' shows in general. Olivia shares her kids with husband John Mulaney , with whom she has been married since almost a year, reports 'People' magazine. She told 'People', "I know kids love (Ms. Rachel), but the thing is, if I can't watch it, I'm not going to spend the rest of my life going crazy. These kid shows drive me crazy". Munn also isn't a big fan of cartoons. "Malcolm asked for Blue's Clues (recently), and I don't know who showed him Blue's Clues, but they are on my s*** list now", Munn said. "I said, 'Hell no. Not in my house'. John got him into the Spider-Man cartoons, which is not interesting to me. I put on Tom Holland's 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' and was like, 'If you want to watch the real-life ones, then we can watch that.' It might be a little too old for him, but I can't take the cartoons". As per 'People', Munn says the only exception is PBS' children's show 'Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood', which she describes as a "great program". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [단독] 서울 임플란트 '33만원' 에 가능해 플란치과 Undo Before Mei's arrival via surrogate last September, Munn and Mulaney, 42, let Malcolm watch the show to help him prepare to become a big brother. "Daniel Tiger has a little sister, and we'd tell him, 'There's a baby sister coming'", Munn said. When introducing Mei to Malcolm, Munn says she and Mulaney made sure not to "change his world and identity and responsibilities". "A lot of times people will be like, 'Oh, you're a big brother now. You're not the baby anymore. Now you can help mommy get the diapers'. So, all of a sudden, he has all these responsibilities, and he doesn't just get to be carefree anymore", Munn said. "Instead, we would say, 'Now we have two babies. There's baby Mei Mei and baby Malcolm'". Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

Sonakshi Sinha's dream role with husband Zaheer Iqbal in a film is THIS! Wants to play a villain
Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal Sonakshi Sinha began her career as a quintessential commercial film heroine with Dabangg, followed by a string of masala entertainers. However, over time, she made a conscious effort to break the mould with nuanced roles in films like Lootera and Akira. She further pushed the envelope with powerful performances in OTT series like Dahaad and Heeramandi, where she portrayed a character with grey shades. Sonakshi is glad that filmmakers are now seeing her in a new light. She says, 'I am glad that directors have started thinking out of the box in terms of presenting me as an actor, and I am grateful for that. As a creative person, I go for stories, roles and ideas that really stir something in me.' Sonakshi also expressed a desire to reunite with her husband, Zaheer Iqbal , on screen. The couple had shared screen space in Double XXL (2022). While they would love to be a part of a project again, they have a hatke idea in mind for such a project. Zaheer says, 'Sonakshi and I should both play negative roles.' Sonakshi added, 'Yes, the two of us as villains pitted against everyone.' I love seeing Sonakshi in negative roles: Zaheer Zaheer loved Sonakshi's portrayal of the scheming Mallikajaan in Heeramandi. Zaheer gushed, 'I love seeing Sonakshi in negative roles, especially in a series like Heeramandi. I think she looks damn cool. Also, she has an eye for those characters. In real life, though, I can't be serious with her. If she looks at me angrily, I break into laughter.'
