When Dev Anand was 85, he made his make-up man open the door of his room and three women were peeping, told Mumtaz: 'I still have options'
Many yesteryear actors have proved that age is just a number for them.
Dev Anand
was one of them.
Mumtaz
who still looks drop dead gorgeous and was extremely popular in the 70s has recently opened up on how Dev Anand was obsessed with his looks.
The actress said that the 'Guide' actor also told her to take care of her looks as that's what matters.
Mumtaz and Dev Anand had worked together in movies like 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna', and 'Tere Mere Sapne'.
The actress said in an interview with Radio Nasha that she feels proud about how she looks even today when people come to take photos with her. She said, "People come up to me to take pictures, and I feel so proud that even though so many years have passed, I think I have given around 50 years of my life to this (industry).
But people still love me the same, and it doesn't take them more than a second to recognise who I am.'
She added, "You have to look good and presentable. Even today more men love me than women.' She revealed how Dev Anand was obsessed with his looks. He told Mumtaz, "Even if an actor dies, their corpse should look good.' Mumtaz added, "He told me, 'You need to take care of your hair, your figure, and take care of yourself, because you are what you look like.
When you walk down the road, both men and women should turn their heads to look at you.
If you take care of yourself, you will never have to worry about your age.''
Recalling a funny instance, she said that at 85, he proved to Mumtaz that age is just a number. He asked his make-up man to open the door of his room and there were three girls trying to peep and get a glimpse him. Mumtaz exclaimed, "He just casually told them that he'll get back to them, closed the door and said to me, 'See, baby, I still have options,' and I just sat there saying, Wow.'

Sonali Bendre breaks silence viral videos with Raj Thackeray and gossip around it, reveals if he ever had a crush on her: 'There are families involved, it's not in good taste'
Sonali Bendre and Raj Thackeray were spotted at an event together and people went crazy with the video edits. They compared Sonali and Raj's new video with their old one when they welcomed Michael Jackson to India. Many people speculated that the politician always had a crush on her and some even speculated about rumours that they were together earlier. The internet clearly didn't keep calm. The 'Sarfarosh' actress has finally broken silence on these viral videos and her connection with Thackeray and his family. When asked about these videos which claimed that Raj allegedly has a crush on her, Sonali said, "Did he… I doubt it," and she further clarified, 'I was talking to my sister who was right there." Criticising all the gossip and chatter, she said, "I don't know. I mean, a lot of people… I think it's just not in very good taste when people talk about it like that. First of all, I mean, there are families involved and people involved in all of that." She further explained how her family and Raj's family are connected for many years now. She explained, "Other than the fact that my brother-in-law and my sister… my brother-in-law who's a cricketer and hence used to play cricket with Raj's cousin… Sister's husband and they always played together. Secondly, my sister's mother-in-law was the head of the department that taught us English literature in the (Ramnarain) Ruia College, which I'm from. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDs กับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้ | เรียนรู้เพิ่มเติม IC Markets สมัคร Undo " She added, "So they all knew each other. For me, the connection was that Sharmila, Raj's wife, her mother, and my Maasi were best friends. Her mother has held me for 10 days because you know how, oh, her, my mother's younger sister, Maasi. So when she delivered Raj, they all came laughing. Oh, her elder sister's baby. Let's go and see the baby. They've come to the hospital and seen me. So literally, that's the kind of connection. " She added further, "I've always travelled around… It's not something that I know them beyond a point because I came into Maharashtra only once in two years during summer holidays or something like that." Sonali also said that she has no ambition to get into politics. "I think you need a lot of very thick skin for it, which I don't have… and I'm not politically correct… unfortunately."
