Zeenat Aman and Dev Anand worked in many commercially successful movies and were among the most successful onscreen pairs. Zeenat considered the legendary actor as a mentor as she gained prominence after starring in his film, Hare Rama Hare Krishna. However, did you know that the actress was left enraged after receiving a copy of Anand’s autobiography, Romancing With Life? It all had to do with the part wherein the late actor had penned down his feelings for the yesteryear actress.
When Dev Anand Confessed His Feelings For Zeenat Aman
Talking about the same, in his autobiography, Dev Anand revealed that he had fallen in love with Zeenat Aman while they were shooting for the 1971 film, Hare Rama Hare Krishna. He had planned a romantic confession at the Rendezvous at the Taj Hotel rooftop, wherein they had once dined together. The duo decided to attend a party and then head off to the venue.
However, things did not go as planned for Dev Anand. The Guide actor revealed further in his autobiography that Raj Kapoor also attended the party and put his arms around Zeenat Aman on one instance. Anand wrote that the way the actress reciprocated to the same seemed ‘more than polite and courteous.’ The actor assumed that something was brewing between Kapoor and Aman and was left heartbroken. He realized that the confession that he had planned lost all his meaning and left the party dejected.
