Zeenat Aman reveals she was pregnant during the shoot of ‘Daaku Hasina’ co-starring Rakesh Roshan, says she was nervous about the safety of the child in her womb – PICS inside | Hindi Movie News

Zeenat Aman is setting some major inspiration for the youth, with the way the actress shares anecdotes about her life and career on social media. She was too cool not just with the kind of work she didn in the 70s and 80s but more so now, with the way she conducts herself. The ‘Don’ girl’s posts are highly awaited at all times as she also shares some priceless memories and revelations in her captions.
In her recent post, Zeenat has spoken about her film ‘Daaku Hasina‘ post which she took a long hiatus.The actress shared some pictures from the movie and spoke about it. “Daku Hasina was your classic story of vengeance. Roopa, orphaned when her parents are killed by powerful village overlords, seeks the help of infamous dacoit Mangal Singh (The iconic Rajinikanth in one of his few Bollywood cameos) to extract revenge. Under his guidance, she transforms into the ruthless Daku Hasina, and so begins her reign of terror. The police scramble to apprehend her, but ah! There is a twist in the tale. What is the relationship between SP Ranjit Saxena (played by none other than @rakesh_roshan9 ) and the lady dacoit?”
She further revealed that she got pregnant just when they began the shoot and it went on, till she was in her third trimester. At that point of time, the safety of her child was important as she was playing a dacoit and had to pull off some difficult scenes. Aman added, “his was one of the last films I did before my extended hiatus. I became pregnant early on in the shoot, and by the end of filming was well into my third trimester! My svelte figure had naturally ballooned, so to hide my belly the crew came up with various creative shots. Some of these involved me riding a horse, which brought its own concerns. I had had a scare on horseback during a previous shoot, when the poor animal had bolted because of the artificial rain and blaring speakers on set. I wasn’t nervous about my own safety, but the safety of the child in my womb was of utmost importance. Luckily, we were able to shoot these scenes without any incident.”

Zeenat’s husband Mazhar Khan also had a cameo in the film. “One’s memory is such a slippery thing. While looking up clips from the film, I found that Mazhar, the father of my children, also had a special appearance in it. He’s there in the qawwali number, which I had clean forgotten! Daku Hasina released in 1987, and it was quite true to the mood of the time. A feminist storm was sweeping through India in the 80s. Legal reforms and social awareness on gender were the talk of town, thanks to the exceptional women activists of the time. There was a certain air of liberation, not to mention indignation at the horrors of the patriarchy, and it felt oh so good to play an ass-kicking role,” added the ‘Qurbani’ actress.
As always fans showered love on her post and many celebs also like and comment on them. Farhan Akhtar dropped a comment which read, “Best posts always ❤️” The actress will be seen on-screen after a while in a film titled ‘Bun Tikki’ along with Shabana Azmi and Abhay Deol.
