One of the many stars whom Dev Anand brought into the limelight is Zeenat Aman. She was the second runner-up in 1973 Miss India and immediately in her Dev Anand saw all the ingredients of a future star. Thus she became the new face to reckon with.

Zeenat Aman started her career with 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna' where she played the role of a hippie girl. Her very first film fetched her the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress award. Her future as the most beautiful model-turned-actress was inscribed. Soon she grabbed two prestigious film offers with the Nasir Hussain camp. Her movies 'Yaadon Ki Baraat' and 'Hum Kisise Kam Nahin' is still remembered because of her flawless beauty and breathtaking screen appeal. Sanjay Khan cast her in the movie 'Abdulla' where she was supposed to wear saffron gowns. But her beauty was enhanced in that and people appreciated her all the more. She was so flamboyant, she even left her marks in a multi-starrer film like 'Raj Tilak'. Zeenat then teamed up with the Big B to give some of the biggest hits in the industry. Her career as an actress really came off quite well in films like 'Don', 'Laawaris', 'Dostana', 'The Great Gambler', 'Mahaan' and 'Pukar'. Then Feroz Khan's 'Qurbani' happened and this beauty showed the world that she could dance as well. The songs of this film became the national songs and Zeenat was the heartthrob of many teenyboppers of that time. Someone who thought this Miss India could only look good, dance and hog the limelight, had another thing coming their way. With Raj Kapoor's 'Do Jasoos' and 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram', she proved all her critics wrong. She enthralled everyone by her mind-blowing acting performance. She was invincible.
