Today marks the 100th birth anniversary of the beloved Dev Anand, an iconic actor who passed away in 2011 at the age of 88, after suffering a massive heart attack in London's Washington Mayfair Hotel.
To commemorate this special occasion, Zeenat Aman took to her Instagram and posted a heartfelt tribute to the late actor. She wrote: "Stylish, suave and prolific, he was a dynamo beyond compare. And what generosity of talent! He sparked careers, brought together creative heads, and made films that resonated across generations."
Noting the ongoing celebration of Dev Anand's legacy, she went on to say: "It gladdens my heart to see his legacy honoured an entire century since his birth. In recent days, I’ve been overwhelmed with requests for comments about him but there is little to add to what I’ve already said."
In the post, Zeenat also shared two frames from her and Dev Anand's earliest films together, which she believes will bring back fond memories to her older followers. The pair have starred together in films such as Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Heera Panna, Warrant, and Kalabaaz.
Dev Anand was quite open about his feelings for Zeenat. In his autobiography Romancing with Life, he confessed to being in love with her. He stated: "At a very special, exclusive place meant for romance, I chose the Rendezvous at the Taj, on top of the city, where we had dined together once earlier."
Zeenat later opened up about Dev Anand's feelings for her, saying it "deeply embarrassed" her. On this special occasion, it is clear that Dev Anand's iconic legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of many.
