The twinkle in Shabana Azmi’s eyes remains same… just in awe of her… and Zeenat Aman seems frozen in time! How can a person be so poised and beautiful on all her appearances… loved this interaction

[@kinpat8825]

I'm not an actor, or a celebrity in terms, but what I understood from this interview, was the interviewer was so fluid. She literally gelled these stalwarts together and extracted the best of their craft on their lips. Pretty much like a wise director gets that out on a celluloid. Nice, I loved it

[@urvashig904]

I couldn't agree more. Had been feeling it throughout the conversation that how beautifully she was maneuvering it.

AND you BOTH are looking so graceful in Manish Malhotra's designer outfits. Luv'd both you legends movies growing up. Zeenat ji - your Ajnabee movies song, Bheegi Bheegi raton main, was a very beautifully directed & the dance performance by you & Rajesh ji, was truly poetic justice, from the song writers lyrics --- Shabana ji -- sooo many movies of yours were just amazing - where to begin from, Arth, Masoom & so many timeless movies. GOD BLESS you ladies with good health & THANKYOU for entertaining us on celluloid for eons -- here, today, for sharing your past present days in the industry.

[@vidyeshwarprasad6895]

Thanks a lot Sneha for having Shabana Azmi n Zeenat Aman, two of the iconic heroines of my generation on your show. While Shabana ji brought glory to Indian Cinema through Ankur, Nishant, Arth, Paar, Sparsh, Masoom n many many more, Zeenat ji illuminated the Hindi film world with her Hare Ram Hare Krishna, Yaadon ki Baaraat, Roti Kapada Makaan, Don, Qurbani n many many more. Zeenat ji remains the most modern, the SMARTEST heroine for ever. I cannot imagine any heroine, other than Zeenat ji, pulling off "Dam maro dam.. "n "Chura liya hai tumne jo dil ko.. " n a host of others with so much panache n sophistication. And both Shabana ji n Zeenat ji are so articulate.. loved their English. Good job Sneha!

[@dogyaltshering9653]

Also, Shabana ma'am is a stellar performer due to not only talent but knowledge she has in her disposal, being a trained actor. That's why she can easily transforms in and out in any given role. Not to be mean, but little to none Indian actresses can do what she does due to yes, lack of training. The only on par with her acting is, ironically, her niece Tabu :)
