The golden era of Bollywood had two ultimate fashion icons — Zeenat Aman and Parveen Babi. The glamorous actresses, both ruling the ’70s and ’80s, would often be mistaken for one another, given their similar features and styling choices. Today, even at 73, Zeenat Aman remains a bold woman whose style and vigour still scream elegance. In a recent AMA session, the actress recalled an uncomfortable fan encounter when she was confused with Parveen Babi, but it was after the latter’s passing.
