A very nice scene from the movie"Satyam Shivam Sundaram".
SHASHI KAPOOR
ZEENAT AMAN.
Satyam Shivam Sundaram (meaning, "Truth is God and God is beautiful") is a 1978 Raj Kapoor-directed film starring Shashi Kapoor and Zeenat Aman. The film had to face a stiff battle in getting past the Indian Film Censor Board for some of its risque scenes. The film did average business at the box office.
The movie is set in a village where the heroine, Zeenat Aman, lives with her father, and the hero, Shashi Kapoor, comes as an engineer to oversee and build a major dam. The girl is tall, very attractive and also god-fearing, she goes to the temple daily and is a very good singer. The hero falls in love with her, and asks her father permission to marry her. However, she is scared of the marriage.
Since she was a child she loved three things. God, Music and Dancing. Growing up she was happy until that fatal moment as a young child when she was burned by a pot of oil on one side of her face. This destroyed her entire life but she never lost faith.
She is beautiful, but only on one side of the face. The other side had been scarred and disfigured by her child hood injury. She keeps that part of the face hidden by a veil using her sari palloo. She is afraid that he will turn away when he sees her gruesome side of the face.
Laxmikant-Pyarelal's music won the Filmfare Best Music Director Award. Lata Mangeshkar lends her voice to the Satyam Shivam Sundaram song (main theme), which was among the chart-toppers of the year.
Various recent music groups from both India and the United States have re-done the theme song from the movie, such as Thievery Corporation and Sheila Chandra. Also, many variations of the song have been made (e.g. the original version is considered, in Indian music, a Bhajan, but Lata Mangeshkar has also made a bhangra-like version, a different style).
Zeenat Aman born November 19, 1951) is an Indian actress.
Zeenat Aman was born to a Muslim father and a Hindu Brahmin Kannadiga(apparently she was a Madhwa from Mysore) mother. Amanullah, her father was one of the writers for the movie Mughal-e-Azam and he died when Zeenat was just 13. Aman graduated from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai and went to Los Angeles for her studies. Upon returning to India, she first took a job as a journalist for Femina and then later on moved on to modeling. She was the second runner up in the Miss India Contest and went on to win the Miss Asia Pacific in 1970. Upon making her debut in Bollywood, Aman was credited with bringing the Western heroine look to Hindi cinema, and thorughout her career has been considered a sex symbol.
