Karan Johar, Neetu Kapoor and Zeenat Aman
Even those who haven’t been following Koffee with Karan 8 will tune into the latest episode. Host Karan Johar has managed a coup by bringing together veteran actors Zeenat Aman and Neetu Kapoor. In the Disney+ Hotstar show, the duo walked down memory lane, with Kapoor marvelling at how Aman stayed in shape in the ’70s when making rounds of the gyms and having trainers wasn’t the norm.

Johar broached the topic by telling Aman, “I’m apologising in advance, but you walked in, [in the industry] with a banging body, so gorgeous, absolutely sexy. Neetu-ji told me that everybody got shook up because they thought that they would have to look like this.”
Kapoor then recalled how she learnt of her co-star’s fitness secret during the shoot of Dharamveer (1977). “I peeped into Zeenat’s dabba, and she was having yogurt and stir-fried cabbage. I was like, ‘What are we eating?’” At this, Aman added that she was always mindful of eating clean.
