Bollywood star Sidharth Malhotra seems to be in awe of yesteryear diva Zeenat Aman as he thanked the actress for making the 1970s cool with her “style, panache and performances”.

Zeenat had reposted a video by Sidharth, where at a fashion event he went up to the actress while walking the ramp as a showstopper and gave a gentleman-like flying kiss.

The actress said it was lovely to meet the Shershaah actor. The Bollywood heartthrob re-shared the post and wrote, “A pleasure meeting you. Zeenat ma'am Have grown up admiring your iconic work. Thank you for making the 70s so cool -your style, panache and performances are unmatched ! You are truly an inspiration.”

Apart from being an actress, Zeenat is a former beauty queen. She started her acting career in 1970 with films such as The Evil Within, Hulchul, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Roti Kapada Aur Makaan, Warrant, Hum Kisise Kum Naheen, The Great Gambler, Laawaris and Sallu Ki Shaadi to name a few.

Talking about Sidharth, his film Shershaah, has clocked three years in Hindi cinema and in a conversation with a new agency, the actor said, “‘Shershaah’ is a special film for me. This was my first film that received a National Award.”

About his future projects, the actor is reportedly in talks to play a role in Karan Johar's upcoming action film. The project is expected to start rolling in 2025.
