Feroz Khan and 'Qurbani' are part of my life: Zeenat Aman

Mumbai: Yesteryears glamorous actress Zeenat Aman remembers Feroz Khan as a flamboyant filmmaker and says "Qurbani" epitomised the man and his larger-than-life stylish image.

"It's so sad. I didn't know about his illness. I only got to know about how unwell he was from his brother Akbar Khan whom I met on a flight. Feroz was such a stylish man. Lived life king-size. I can't forget all the good times we had while doing 'Qurbani'," Zeenat said.

" 'Qurbani' was such an amazing film and one of the biggest successes of my career. 'Qurbani' epitomised the man, that larger-than-life stylish image. He was a very special man. 'Qurbani' happened at a time when all kinds of special films were happening to my career - 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram', 'Shalimar', 'Abdullah'. But 'Qurbani' and its music were phenomenal 'Aap jaisa koi' and 'Laila o laila'."

The actress was in Rajkot, Gujarat campaigning for the Congress party when she heard of Feroz Khan's demise.

Feroz Khan died at his farmhouse in Bangalore Sunday after a year-long battle with cancer. He was 69.

Zeenat says as a filmmaker Feroz Khan never compromised on his vision.

"He wanted to be and do the best. He did everything larger-than-life. When he didn't like a set for 'Qurbani', he actually got it dismantled and built a new one. He wouldn't compromise on his vision. What he made was what he was in real life. He was a thorough gentleman, very charming and he epitomised a certain kind of masculinity that was way ahead of its times," she said.

The actress regrets not meeting him often.

"It's so sad but we are so busy with our own lives we are unable to keep track of people who have played such an important part in our lives. But the time I spent making 'Qurbani' with Feroz will always always remain etched in my memory. Feroz Khan and 'Qurbani' are part of my life forever.

"Feroz was always revved up about the films he was making. He shot them all over the world. For the climax of 'Qurbani' we went to London. He had international technicians in 'Qurbani', which was unusual for that time," she said.

"You know I just realised among all the actresses, I've worked with the maximum actors turned directors whether it was Feroz Khan, O.P. Ralhan, Amjad Khan. I wish I had kept in touch. But that's the way of the industry.

"You give a hundred percent of yourself to a film and then move on. The last time we met was more than a year ago at an awards function. We both got lifetime achievement awards. We bonded backstage. I knew he was unwell, but not that unwell. I'm now going to make an effort to keep up with colleagues." (IANS)

QURBANI: 1980:

Feroz Khan plays a thief named Rajesh who is blackmailed by villain Vikram (Shakti Kapoor) and his evil sister Jwala (Aruna Irani) into staking from crime boss Rakka (Amrish Puri). Jwala is Rakka's ex wife and has been cheated by Rakka, who has stolen her fortune and divorced her. Jwala wants revenge and will stop at nothing to get it. If Rajesh does not do the job, Vikram will kill Rajesh's lover, Sheela (Zeenat Aman), who is a disco club singer and dancer, and Rajesh's best friend Amar's (Vinod Khanna) daughter Tina (Natasha Chopra). The thief is continuously being stalled by Inspector Amjad Khan.

Amar is an eligible young widower, who meets with beautiful Sheela, and falls in love with her. But Sheela, while taking a maternal affinity to little Tina, does not reciprocate his advances, as she loves Rajesh. Unknown to Sheela, Amar and Rajesh meet each other, and a strong friendship bond is formed. Rajesh would like Amar to settle in the U.K. and so they concoct a scheme whereby Amar would steal gold bars and jewellery from a safe, then phone the police, and then let Rajesh take over, get arrested, get a prison term for about 12 to 18 months, and after his release, he will join Amar abroad in U.K. Things don't go according to plan as Amar gets accused for killing Rakka, and the police construe that Rajesh has been framed by Amar, so that Amar can get Rajesh out of the way, keep all the money, as well as Sheela, all for himself.

ZEENIE AMAN'S LAWAARIS 1981



Abandoned as an infant and raised largely by a shiftless drunk (Shreeram Lagoo), Vijay is now grown up and, unbeknown st to everyone, working for his own father. In order to marry his true love Mohini (Zeenat Aman), however, he's going to have to find out what his true ancestry is--even if doing so throws everybody's life into chaos.

Dadasaheb Phalke award winner B.R. Chopra has always made thought provoking films which are social commentaries and Insaf Ka Tarazu is no exception. It is a story of a girl Bharati (Zeenat Aman) who had everything - beauty, a great glamourous career, the love of Ashok (Deepak Prasher), a sister Neeta (Padmini Kolhapure) and loses it all because a man Ramesh (Raj Babbar) brutally rapes her. And when she dares to seek justice, is "raped" again by her rapist's lawyer who publicly turns the rape into a slur on her character rather than what it is - a brutal violation of her body and spirit. As if this humiliation is not enough, the man tries to rape her innocent young sister. Will her sister have to suffer the way she did? or will justice prevail?

Insaf Ka Tarazu became a milestone of Hindi cimena for many reasons - it was one of the first films to deal with the subject of rape as a social issue, it also remained at the center of a debate as to whether such a film, which showed rape so graphically, was actually thought provoking or merely titillation. It was also the film in which Raj Babbar made his unforgettable debut - as a rapist!
