Zeenat Aman, being the kind person that she is, informed Raj that he should feel at ease and that she would act in the movie because her part was good, according to Raj Babbar.

Raj Babbar described how Zeenat Aman was meant to give him the go-ahead for his first significant picture, BR Chopra’s Insaf Ka Tarazu, when they first met in the late 1970s. In an interview with the YouTube channel Rajshri Unplugged for the production company Rajshri Productions, Raj Babbar also disclosed that he once got fired from a movie for having a “big nose” after the filming had already started.

Raj told the production company that BR Chopra called him so he could visit his office, recalling the time he missed out on two huge films and had worked in 14 little ones. Chopra Ji informed me that he is producing a movie. Zeenat se baat ho gayi hai, or may I ask, who is Zeenat? Zeenat Aman will be present if, as is the case, Chopra Sahab’s office is baitha and Zeenat has been present there for some time. To shayad samajh na aata (BR) Kahin aur hota Zeenat is willing to work with new faces, Chopra informed me after speaking with her.

The actor claimed that even as the director was telling Raj the narrative, Ramesh was on his mind, and he was fervently hoping to be cast in that role. He continued by saying that the following day, he met Zeenat. Ok kar diya aur unhone mujhe dekha. Dekha ji haan unhone humein. She noticed me and gave me the go-ahead. Jaise aajkal shaadi ke liye ladkiya dekhi jaati hai na, pehle badhe log, badi heroines, kiske saath kaam karengi, dekhti thi. She did investigate me, yes. Big heroines back then used to research their coworkers in the same way that people do today while arranging marriages for females. But she is a wonderful person. She is a decent woman.
