Zeenat Aman nullifies Dev Anand's claim, saying she never had a 'relationship' with Raj Kumar

Zeenat Aman has clarified that she never had a relationship with Raj Kapoor, Hindustan Times reported.

The actress asked to comment on an incident at a Raj Kapoor party that was mentioned in the autobiography book of Dev Anand, titled Romancing With Life.

She said: "Raj had signed me for Satyam Shivam Sundaram and I went there as his about-to-be heroine. I never had an inter-personal relationship (with him), not before that and never after that."

She further said: "It was always a director-actor relation (between us). He was passionate about his work and I was passionate about his work but never did he ask me why I did not wear white. In fact, if you look at it, I have never worn white on his sets or parties. Never has he said 'why didn't you wear white'?"

"With all due respect, sometimes, some phrases are added with the aim of making a narrative or a story interesting," Zeenat added.

"Now, I am not sure about the perspective of Dev sahab but I say this rightfully that it was wrong, I will write about this in my autobiography. I admire and respect Dev Sahab, but this was not correct."

In addition, Dev Anand in his book wrote that after presence at a party, he had fixed a meeting with Don actress, But "a drunken Raj Kapoor .. threw his arms around her exuberantly. This suddenly struck me as a little too familiar. And the way she reciprocated his embrace seemed much more than just polite and courteous," at the party.
