“The most beautiful lady in the world,” once signed for an Indian cinema:
Gina Lollobrigida, who died on Monday, January 16, 2023, at the age of 95, was very near to filming an Indian cinema until she decided to back out for causes that remain unknown to this day.
Shalimar (1978) starred Dharmendra, Zeenat Aman, Shammi Kapoor, Rex Harrison, John Saxon, and Gina Lollobrigida, the iconic actress. Gina took a flight to Bombay for the movie’s mahuratman, and photos of her posing with Zeenat Aman and Dharmendra were widely circulated in the newspapers during that time. Rumors and speculation circulated at the time about Gina and Zeenat’s cold vibes, which is something the individual in question continues to deny.
Bunny Reuben, the film’s publicist, is said to have scripted the conflict between the two stunning ladies. Even there is a section dedicated to the Zeenat-Gina clash in Reuben’s book on the maker of Shalimar, termed ‘The Battle Of The Boobs.’ However, Dharmendra, the movie’s lead character, recollects no such conflict or the truth Gina decided to opt-out.
