Suspense Crime Sach Ka Dam
Veteran actress Zeenat Aman is considered to be one of those actresses in the industry who has always been ahead of her time. She has given bold scenes in many films and even today she surprises everyone with her open views. Recently, the actress was in the news for her suggestions on live-in relationships. Even many artists in the industry including Mumtaz had targeted her. Now the veteran actress recalled how she took long puffs from the chillum for the 1971 song ‘Dum Maaro Dum’, which excited her a lot. Zeenat posted a picture of the popular song shown in the film Hare Rama Hare Krishna directed by Dev Anand on Instagram. The film depicts the downfall of hippie culture and aims to give an anti-drug message.
Zeenat Aman remembers the shooting days of Dum Maaro Dum.
“We were shooting Hare Rama Hare Krishna in Kathmandu, and Dev sahab had gathered a group of hippies from the streets to be a part of the song. The song was Dum Maaro Dum,” he recalled. “The hippies were very happy with this. Not only were they getting a chance to pack a chillum with hashish, they were also getting free food and money for working in a Bollywood film,” he said.
Zeenat Aman did drugs for Dum Maaro Dum.
She revealed that the late veteran actor-filmmaker Dev Anand wanted authenticity in the scene. “My character Janice had to look drunk. The easiest way to do that was to participate in a hippie parade. I was in my teens and would take long puffs from their chillum for successive takes. By the time we finished the day’s work, I was drunk. I was in no condition to return to the hotel that day,” she said.
Her mother was angry with the actress.
Zeenat said that some members of the team made her sit in a car and took her to a beautiful place. Zeenat also revealed that when her mother came to know about this, she was very angry with them for this act. Not only this, the actress’s mother also expressed her displeasure with many members of the crew regarding this.
The mother had also scolded the crew members.
She said, when my mother came to know about this, she got angry at the senior crew members. She reprimanded the team for allowing me to take drugs. Luckily I was saved from her anger. She said that this October she will be in Mumbai, Delhi, and Jaipur and will share many more such moments with her fans. Also, she will dance to the most memorable songs of her films.
