Zeenat Aman’s conflict with Bollywood Boomers on cohabitation is clarified
If you keep up with Bollywood news, you have probably come across the verbal sparring between Mumtaz, Zeenat Aman, and veteran actor Mukesh Khanna. For those who missed it, Zeenat discussed her thoughts on cohabitation and the need of living together before making plans to settle down.
“Here’s a personal opinion I haven’t shared before: if you’re in a relationship, I strongly recommend that you LIVE TOGETHER before getting married!” said the 72-year-old celebrity.
Zeenat Aman vs Mumtaz
Still, some celebs, like our own Shaktiman and Mumtaz, were not amused by this. Mumtaz’s reaction to Zeenat’s remarks on live-in couples sparked the argument. In an interview with Zoom TV, she went on to criticize her co-star from Hare Rama Hare Krishna.
“Zeenat should be careful with what she is advising,” said the Dushman actress. She has suddenly become really famous on social media, and I can see her joy at appearing like a hip aunt. But growing your following doesn’t mean you have to provide advise that goes against our moral principles. I am Aap Zeenat, and I am not misaal to you at all. Before she married Mazhar Khan, she had known him for years. Her union was an agony on earth. She ought to be the last person offering relationship counsel.
Zeenat Aman answers Mumtaz’s clever jab.
Zeenat, however, refrained from losing her composure and said modestly, “Everyone is entitled to their own opinions,” in an interview with Hindustan Times. I’ve never been one to disparage my coworkers or make personal remarks about them, and I won’t start now.
Saira Banu responds to Zeenat Aman’s advise on cohabitation
Actress Saira Banu joined the bandwagon and responded to Zeenat’s love counsel. She claimed to be of an older age and to think that cohabitation is “unacceptable.” “I am not reading much and I don’t really follow what they (Mumtaz and Zeenat) are saying, but we are very old-fashioned people,” she said in an interview with Hindustan Times. Our tendency is saal pehle ka 40-50. As of now, that is the major thing that hasn’t changed. That is not the kind of live-in relationship I would ever support. It’s something that I find intolerable and incomprehensible.
The clever jab Mukesh Khanna took at Zeenat Aman
As everyone offered their opinions on Zeenat’s “live-in relationship” declaration, even our very own Original Shaktiman was unable to control himself. In a Dainik Jagran interview, Mukesh said, “Our culture and history do not recognize live-in relationships.” It originated in Western civilization. Zeenat Aman has spent her life in accordance with Western civilization, regardless of what she is discussing. It is unacceptable for a guy and a girl to get acquainted via marriage; just think of what would happen to them if they were to live together as husband and wife. People who say such things need to be careful with their words.
The sly tweet from Soni Razdan on Mukesh Khanna
While Mumtaz and Shaktiman supported Mukesh, veteran actress and Alia Bhatt’s mother Soni Razdan responded to the actor’s remarks in her own unique manner. The Saaransh actress posted on her official X (formerly Twitter) account, saying, “Gosh. I cannot fathom what would transpire if two people who are not compatible lived together in a “live-in” relationship. It is mind-boggling.
Bollywood Boomers versus Zeenat Aman’s
Well, it seems that Soni’s support of Zeenat has given the dispute a whole new twist. Social media users haven’t wasted any time criticizing the “Bollywood Boomers” for their antiquated views on marriage and starting a family. Zeenat’s remark struck a chord with a considerable portion of her fans, although others chose to side with Mumtaz and Shaktiman instead.
For those who are unaware, Zeenat often discusses her thoughts on life, love, and mental health on Instagram. Since her Instagram debut, the actress has definitely been shattering preconceptions. Furthermore, it is accurate to state that she has developed a distinct online following among millennials and Gen Z users.
