Zeenat, one of the bold actresses of her era, further said- ‘There was no deep friendship between Shammi ji and me, but working with him was a professional bliss.

Then she wrote for the film ‘Manoranjan’, ‘As a young woman, who was searching for her feminist thinking, I had to play a character that challenged the expectations of the society. Especially the belief that a sex worker is unhappy, embarrassed, excluded from society and wait for a ‘white night’! Zeenat Aman further said- ‘For me, the character of’ Nisha ‘is as much as Rupa and Janen. Entertainment is a completely madness comedy and is very cute in its straightforward maturity and openness.
