Dev Anand suggested Zeenat Aman to have a hippie look for Dum Maaro Dum

Zee TV recently returned with its singing reality show, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. This weekend, viewers are in for a special treat as legendary actress Zeenat Aman will appear as a special guest.

While each contestant impressed the veteran actress during the shoot, it was Laj, Ananya, and Yumna’s power-packed performance to Hare Ram Hare Krishna’s title track and Dum Maaro Dum that left her spellbound. Ananya also asked Zeenat ji about her iconic look for the song and to everyone’s surprise, the actress revealed how Dev Anand was the one who decided her look for this song. Talking about the same Zeenat Aman said, “When the song was being shot, Dev sahab was not convinced about it. He wasn’t sure if we should use it for the movie, but he was convinced about it finally. After the song was locked, my look became a topic of discussion. I decided to give the song a personal touch with straight, long hair with a middle partition. But Dev sahab felt that my character should wear shades and have a hippie look. He wanted me to be very bindaas.”
