Zeenat Aman veteran actress who recently made her Instagram debut shared black and white photo of herself as her character from Satyam Shivam Sundaram (1978) along with lengthy caption detailing ‘controversy’ surrounding it and embracing her body.

Zeenat shared photo of herself from her younger days, when she was preparing for Satyam Shivam Sundaram’s look test. Zeenat is wearing blouse and sitting down with smile on her face in photo. In caption, she wrote, “Photographer J P Singhal captured this image during look test for Satyam Shivam Sundaram in 1977. My costumes were designed by Oscar winner Bhanu Athaiya and we shot series at RK Studios.”

I was always amused by accusations of obscenity because I did not and still do not find human body obscene. These looks were part of my job as director’s actor. Rupa’s sensuality was not plot’s centre, but rather component of it.  She revealed that director Raj Kapoor was initially unsure if she would be good fit for this role because of her ‘western’ image. Fans praised her candor and grace in comments section of post.–Agencies
