Zeenat’s mother Amanullah Khan was a revolutionary poet of Muslim origins and a Hindu lady (who for the best part of her life was known as Mrs.Heinz and Zeenat’s Mom in Bollywood circles.Nobody was on first name basis with her and so that’s how she was always addressed.)

In fact, back then this inter-religious marriage was frowned upon to such an extent that the Khan’s were octracised by their own family. It was this rebellious streak that Zeenat Aman inherited from her father and the silence of dignity no matter what the provocation came from her mother.

In fact even though Zeenat Aman loved her mother beyond distraction and could never forget all that she did for moulding her into the person she eventually turned out to be, yet there is absolutely no denying the unsaid word that she was furious with her mother when she got remarried to a German business magnate Mr. Heinz just when Zeenat was stepping into films after having made her mark as a Miss India Queen and later as Miss Asia. That was the prime reason till the very end, Zeenat stubbornly refused to use the Heinz surname and insisted on keeping her original father’s name.
