Zeenat Aman-Amitabh Bachchan in Samundar Mein Nahake song
If there is one veteran actress who is acing her Instagram game, it has to be Zeenat Aman. She loves taking a walk down memory lane by sharing some amazing snippets and stories from yesteryear`s movies. Her recent Instagram post was on similar lines, where she recalled romancing Amitabh Bachchan soon after his near-death accident.
Zeenat Aman recalled romancing Amitabh Bachchan in the Samundar Mein Nahake song from the 1983 film Pukar. Taking it to social media, she shared a video of the song and recalled working with Big B.
Zeenat penned a rather lengthy post along with the video and wrote, “Uff… I’ll be candid. This is a bit of a gratuitous post brought on by the summer. It’s just so damn hot! The weather, I mean. Though I won’t be too coy to say that Mr Bachchan and I romancing to those salty lyrics are quite sizzling too.”

She went on writing, “Director-producer Ramesh Behl’s Pukar was a blast to shoot. Its anti-colonial underpinnings, excellent case, and catchy songs were what drew me to the script. Now, Goa in the early 80s was quiet, idyllic, and unpeopled.

“Samundar Mein Naha Ke was shot on an empty beach, and it was an easy-breezy affair. For me, at least! I didn’t have any lip syncing to do, nor much choreography to learn. The brief was as basic as they come – look pretty! So there I was in a titillating white outfit, with a bit of midriff on display, rolling around in the surf, while Mr Bachchan pranced around me like an ardent bird-of-paradise,” she further added.
Zeenat Aman continued, “My otherwise seamless performance was hindered by one small fact – I can’t swim! I had to swallow a fair amount of nerves (and seawater) for those shots of me writhing in the swash! Despite taking a few tumbles in the waves and being left with sand in uncomfortable places, I thought I did a convincing job of being a jal pari.”
The Satyam Shivam Sundaram actress concluded, “P.S.: Here’s another titbit for you. This was Mr Bachchan’s first shoot after the life-threatening accident he suffered on the sets of Coolie in 1982. Bachchan mania was well-established in the country by then, and the nation practically held its breath till he was in the clear. So, as you can imagine, the atmosphere on set was particularly buoyant during the making of this film.”
For the uninitiated, Zeenat Aman and Amitabh Bachchan have worked together in 8 films, including Pukar, Don, Dostana, and Roti Kapda Aur Makaan, among others.
