Dev Anand’s 100th birth anniversary: Zeenat Aman recalls how he ‘sparked’ her career

On legendary actor Dev Anand’s 100th birth anniversary, veteran actor Zeenat Aman took to social media and penned a heartfelt note for the artist.

Sharing a series of throwback pictures, Zeenat Aman mentioned how Dev Anand sparked her career.

Zeenat wrote, ‘Celebrating 100 years of Dev saab. Stylish, suave and prolific, he was a dynamo beyond compare. And what generosity of talent! He sparked careers (mine included), brought together creative heads, and made films that resonated across generations. It gladdens my heart to see his legacy honoured an entire century since his birth. In recent days, I’ve been overwhelmed with requests for comments about him but there is little to add to what I’ve already said. Though, I posted a three-part series about him just a few weeks ago, I can’t resist the nostalgia of these two frames from our earliest films together. They will be instantly recognisable to my older followers, but I’m not so sure about you younger lot!’

Zeenat Aman’s post has received a lot of positive reactions from her fans and many celebrities.

Actor Sanjay Kapoor commented, ‘Iconic film, iconic picture @thezeenataman.’ Another person wrote, ‘Absolute goddess.’

Dev Anand is known for movies like ‘Guide’, ‘Jewel Thief’, and ‘Manzil’ among others. He died in December 2011 in the United Kingdom.
