Thanks a lot for this Satyam.She was the first actress whom i had a crush on. Not only was she was the 1st Indian heroine to be on the cover of Time but also IMO she was the most beautiful lady to have graced the silver screen (I infinitely prefer her over Zeenat baby, Hema, Madhuri, Nutan and the likes). Always loved her chemistry with AB- really liked her sweet yet stylish avatar as Jenny in AAA. And the image of her smoking a cigarette in Deewar- she looked smouldering hot there
I beg to differ on Zeenat and Parveen. To my mind there is no comparison. Zeenat was the original , who defined hip for a whole generation. Parveen was just a wannabe. Zeenat hada personality. Who can for get her singing Chura Liya. Or Dum Maro Dum. She could shoulder a mainstream heroine-oriented film like Insaaf Ka Tarazu, Manoranjan or Satyam Shivam Sundram. She could play the hroine to someone like Manoj Kumar in roti Kpada aur Makaan or Firoze Khan in Qurbani. If any doubt about who sizzles hotter you just have to play aap Jiase Koi from Qurbani. That will be the ultimate argument-settler.
By the way, I think bikini is no big deal for Indian viewers as the mid-riff and the cleavage gets to be revealed in most versions of the sarees our heroines wear. But if I have to choose, it has to be the scene in Bobby, because it was such a charged scene.
rubbish! its bad comparing between zeenat and parveen,each had their own identity ,in fact parveen had her own grace and zeenat had her own charm, both are lovely and were at the top in their peak time,but wen it comes who is more prettier among each other i will definetly choose parveen she was more prettier and good looking than zeenat in fact zeenat was sexy but not good looking i hope !
