Zeenat Aman, Helen talk about crushes on co-star, Bollywood's golden days

Veteran stars Zeenat Aman and Helen share candid memories of romance, crushes, and the golden age of Bollywood in a nostalgic chat on Indian Idol.

"Haan, mujhe apne co-workers par crushes hote the... Agar romantic gaana hota tha, toh gaane ke dauraan chhota sa crush hota tha do teen din ke liye. - Zeenat Aman"

Mumbai, Dec 20

Veteran stars Zeenat Aman and Helen took a stroll down memory lane as they talked about romance, crushes on co-stars and the golden days of Hindi cinema on the sets of singing based reality show Indian Idol.

While interaction led by host Aditya Narayan, Helen spoke about romantic co-stars and off-screen interactions, with her trademark wit and simplicity.

She shared, “Mera itna interaction nahi hota tha. Main kursi aur kitab leke ek kone mein chup-chaap se ek corner mai baith jaati thi. (I wasn’t very interactive. I would take a chair and a book and quietly sit in one corner.)”

Recalling how people perceived her quiet nature, she added humorously, “Log kehte the yeh sabko furniture ke jaise dekhti hai. (People used to say that she looks at everyone as if they were furniture.)”

Zeenat Aman chimed in, playfully clarifying the question: “Yeh aap meri personal zindagi ki baat kar rahe ho ya parde par jo romance hota hai uski? (Are you talking about my personal life, or the romance that happens on screen?)”

As she showed the picture of late star Dev Anand on screen, she reflected on her journey, sharing, “Of course, maine bhen ke role se shuru kiya lekin baki filmo mai very romantic (Of course, I started with a sister’s role, but in my other films, I was very romantic.)”

The conversation became even more candid when Aditya Narayan the host asked if Zeenat ever had a crush on a co-star.

With honesty, she said, “Haan, mujhe apne co-workers par crushes hote the. (Yes, I did have crushes on my co-workers.)”

She added: “Agar romantic gaana hota tha, toh gaane ke dauraan chhota sa crush hota tha do teen din ke liye. Phir next movie, next song, next crush. (If there was a romantic song, I’d develop a little crush during the song—for two or three days. Then it was the next movie, the next song, the next crush.)”

Indian Idol airs on Sony Entertainment Television & Sony LIV.

Helen's line about people saying she looked at everyone like furniture had me laughing out loud! 😂 Such dry wit. These veterans have stories for days. We need more shows like this that let them speak freely, not just the same old film promotion rounds.

While it's fun to hear these stories, I sometimes feel the host's questions are a bit intrusive. Asking about crushes feels like digging for gossip rather than appreciating their craft. The focus should be more on their incredible work ethic and the art of that era.

As someone who grew up watching their films on Doordarshan reruns, this is pure nostalgia. The grace, the style, the music! Zeenat Aman mentioning Dev Anand brought back so many memories. That era had a different kind of charm and sophistication.

Helen madam sitting in a corner with a book is such a mood. It shows a completely different side to the vibrant dancer we saw on screen. These legends are national treasures. More power to them for keeping it real.

"Next movie, next song, next crush" – Zeenat ji is all of us in our first jobs! 😄 So candid. It's lovely to see them on Indian Idol, bridging generations. Hope the young contestants realize what legends they are sharing the stage with.
