Zeenat Aman reminisces about Chhailla Babu shoot with nostalgic Instagram post
On Wednesday, Zeenat took to her Instagram account and shared a black and white BTS picture from her shoot. Sharing the picture, Zeenat wrote in caption, “Nahiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!”
Chhailla Babu was a suspense thriller that rocked the box office in 1977. It was produced by the lovely and easy going Shomu Mukherjee, directed by Joy Mukherjee and starred Rajesh Khanna. Romance, action, music, drama – it had everything in spades. Including a long drawn out “nahiiiiiiiin” by yours truly , which I think we can agree is pretty much the hallmark of Bollywood masala.”
She further added, “This snapshot was captured in between takes of the climactic action sequence that we shot at sea in Goa. And yes, I got to throw some punches too.
My outfits in the film were awesomely flamboyant. So what am I wearing here? A black and pink (fake) leather bustier, a matching skirt, a scarf, and knee-high boots. And the entire ensemble was embellished with metallic studs! How’s that for an “outfit of the day”?”
“As an aside, I will admit that so many of the films that we made back then haven’t aged too well. In fact, my younger followers would be appalled by the “red Indian” sequence in this film. Quite frankly, it makes me cringe too. Such caricatures were entirely the norm back then, and I am glad that I know better now!” the actress concluded.
Soon after she shared the post, several fans and followers expressed their views in the comments section. Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “Please write a book of all these stories. It will be such a wonderful read for us! These vintage photos, your stories, insights, learnings – and some life tips for us weirdos trying to navigate through the craziness of this world,” while a fan commented, “Love these trivia ma’am , Really insightful. Would love to know more on how films were used to be made back then.”
Zeenat Aman is an Indian actress and a former model. The Evil Within (1970), starring Dev Anand, marked the former beauty queen’s acting debut. She has acted in films like Yaadon Ki Baarat, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Qurbani, Dharam Veer, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Insaaf Ka Tarazu among others.
