Veteran actress Zeenat Aman recently shared her admiration for Priyanka Chopra’s role as Kashibai in the 2015 historical drama Bajirao Mastani. During a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session, Zeenat revealed that she would have loved the opportunity to play this complex character. While she humbly admitted she wasn’t sure if she would have “nailed it,” the role piqued her interest due to its depth and intricacy.
The film, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, starred Priyanka Chopra alongside Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. Priyanka’s portrayal of Kashibai earned her widespread acclaim and several awards. Fans on Reddit were quick to praise Zeenat’s statement, with many expressing that she would have brought her own unique charm and grace to the role.
Zeenat also reflected on the evolution of Bollywood, noting the positive changes in the industry, particularly the increasing presence of women in various roles behind the scenes. She contrasted this with her own time, when it was common to be the only woman on set.
The actress, who was a trailblazer in her era, continues to inspire audiences with her candid insights and vibrant presence on social media. She is set to appear in upcoming projects, including the Netflix series The Royals and the film Bun Tikki.
