'''Zeenat Aman (b. 1951)'''

Actress. Former advertising model. First major role in [[Hare Rama Hare Krishna]] as emancipated ‘hippie’ sister of hero [[Dev Anand]], heralding the 70s look of the Westernised, ‘liberated’ young woman in Hindi film. At its best, this attempt to represent ‘modernity’ redefined the love story ([[Yaadon Ki Baraat]]) by violating several moral codes advocated by earlier melodramas to control female sexuality. The image was adopted and negatively inflected, notably by Parveen Babi (the gangster’s moll in [[Deewar]], 1975), in the context of [[Amitabh Bachchan]]’s vigilante themes. [[Raj Kapoor]] later used the image to stigmatise the obscenity of contemporary consumerist versions of religious symbolism in [[Satyam Shivam Sundaram]].
