Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has worked in many hit films. The actor has been in the news more for his professional life than his personal life. Today we are going to tell you one such story related to his personal life, about which very few people know.
Zaheeda is Sanjay Dutt's sister
Today we will talk about an actress who, despite being a part of Bollywood, was in the news more for her personal life and connections than for her films. Yes, we are talking about Zaheeda Hussain. Zaheeda is now away from the limelight. Zaheeda, who was once called the future superstar, is now 79 years old. Hardly anyone knows about her now. According to a DNA report, the actress was once very much in love with Dev Anand. Zaheeda is Sanjay Dutt's sister.
left acting after marriage
Zaheeda Hussain became a household name thanks to the popular song 'Chhuri Nahi Yeh Mera Dil Hai...' She gained immense popularity in the 1960s and 70s, but after marriage, she quit acting and decided to live as a housewife.
refused to be a sister
Zaheeda came from a family that was very famous. But Zaheeda wanted to make her own identity. It was Dev Anand who gave her her first big break in films. She rose to fame in 1968 by playing lead roles in Anokhi Raat and Prem Pujari (1970). After working with Dev Anand, Zaheeda fell in love with him. But when she was offered 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna', she turned down the role as she did not want to play Dev Anand's sister on screen. The role went to Zeenat Aman and it changed her career forever
Zaheeda is the daughter of Akhtar Hussain
Zaheeda is the daughter of Akhtar Hussain, who was the brother of actress Nargis. Nargis' mother Jaddanbai was married three times - Akhtar was her son from her first marriage. Jaddanbai had Nargis from her third marriage to Mohanchand Uttamchand Tyagi (alias Abdul Rashid). Thus Zaheeda and Sanjay Dutt are cousins.
