Zeenat Aman ‘would have loved to play’ these iconic roles; see post

Veteran actor Zeenat Aman has shared pictures from a new photoshoot on Instagram and has also listed the roles she ‘would have loved to play’. Her list includes Waheeda Rehman’s role in ‘Guide’, Madhubala’s role in ‘Mughal-e-Azam’, Meryl Streep’s in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, Sridevi’s in English Vinglish’ and Catherine O’Hara’s in ‘Schitt’s Creek’ among others.

Zeenat’s post read, ‘Good morning, everyone. How do you like this look? I find it quite (Audrey) Hepburn inspired! As a model and actor, creative collaborations are so interesting because you get to see yourself as others see you. It also involves trust and patience. Speaking of Hepburn has me thinking about all the talented actors whose work I’ve enjoyed over the years.’

She added, ‘Here’s a list of iconic roles I would have loved to play: 1. Tanya McQuoid in White Lotus, played with dotty perfection by Jennifer Coolidge. 2. Rosie in Guide, played by the ever-graceful Waheeda Rehman. 3. Anarkali in Mughal-e-Azam, played exquisitely by Madhubala. 4. Cesira in Two Women, played so unflinchingly by Sophia Loren. 5. Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada, played with icy nonchalance by Meryl Streep.’

Zeenat concluded, ‘6. Shashi Godbole in English Vinglish, played masterfully by Sridevi. 7. Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, seductively voiced by Kathleen Turner. 8. Miss Piggy in The Muppets, voiced by various artists over the years. 9. And… by popular demand and for my own amusement - Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek, played by the brilliant Catherine O’Hara. I just have to appreciate the acting prowess of all these women. They gave us characters that will resonate for decades. Who are the female characters in cinema and tv that have inspired you? Don’t be shy to be creative with your suggestions!’

Reacting to Zeenat’s post, fans have shared their own list of movies in which they wanted Zeenat to star.
