Yesteryears' glamorous actress Zeenat Aman, who walked
for designer Riyaz Gangji at the India Resort Fashion Week (IRFW)
Thursday, says all the current breed of Bollywood actresses are
multi-faceted, especially Priyanka Chopra for her "inspiring" singing
talent.
"All the girls today in the industry are multi-faceted and
multi-talented. They are doing everything with confidence. Each one has
their own style statement. I like Vidya Balan in a Sabyasachi Mukherjee
sari or Katrina Kaif in western garments."
"Having said that, I really like Priyanka Chopra. I think she is very
contemporary... especially the singer in her is very inspiring for
young stars," Zeenat, 61, told IANS.
The second edition of four-day event started Wednesday.
The actress, who looked glamorous in a layered skirt teamed up with
loose-structured jacket in sand colours, walked the ramp to music from
her evergreen song "Dum Maaro Dum" from her 1971 release "Hare Rama Hare
Krishna".
This is not the first time Zeenat has walked for Gangji and she has her reasons.
"This is not the first time I am walking for them. I walked for them
several times back also. I really like the clothes that they made,
especially the structured jackets and flowy outfits. They take into
account the comfortability factor. It's also age appropriate," said
Zeenat.
"I think women of all age-groups want to look pretty," she added.
Titled 'Shimmering Sand', Gangji's collection takes inspiration from
Japanese author Yukio Mishima's book "The Sound of Waves". From long
flowy gowns and saris for women to jackets and bandhgalas for men, the
collection offers something for everyone.
"Zeenat Aman has always been my muse. I believe beach wedding outfits
have now become popular across generations and as Zeenat epitomises
evergreen beauty, I was very keen on her walking for my show," Gangji
told IANS.
Zeenat, who started her career with modelling, also says that ramp is
like a second passion after acting. She was the second runner-up in the
Miss India contest and went on to win the Miss Asia Pacific title in
1970.
"I am very comfortable on the ramp. It's where I started my journey
from, so life has come full circle, thanks to all the designers for whom
I walked," she said, adding that she will yet again sizzle on the
silver screen next year with some of her releases.
Also, actors Bhoop Yaduvanshi and Madhurima Tuli - lead pair from
upcoming movie "Cigarette Ki Tarah" - walked the ramp for Gangji.
