“Makes Me Cringe,” Zeenat Aman Critiques Her 1977 Film Chhailla Babu With Rajesh Khanna
We love her honesty!
In today’s time, when audiences are exposed to so much content on the various OTT platforms that their preferences are no longer basic. Now, people in the film business cannot expect to serve any kind of content to the viewers because social media has given them the power to call out any and everything. Even one racist dialogue in the film, and the audience will bash the film. But earlier, Indian films were not sensitive towards caste, race or any such topic. The veteran actor Zeena Aman put forth her opinion on this and expressed disappointment in doing films that were cringe and caricaturist.
