Karan Johar and Hema Malini
Neetu Kapoor and Zeenat Aman graced the latest episode of Karan Johar's talk show Koffee With Karan 8. The duo opened up about their prime days as actors, their equation with their co-stars, their friendship from the 70s, and a lot more.
On the show, Karan Johar spoke about Neetu Kapoor's mimicry skills. Zeenat Aman then revealed that the actress mimics her well. On insistence by Karan, Neetu imitated a scene of Zeenat Aman visiting a temple. The 'Jugjugg Jeeyo' actress also mimicked Hema Malini and recalled a real life incident.
She revealed that it was the time when her kids Ranbir and Riddhima were babies. Hema Malini, the mother of Esha and Ahana, asked Neetu Kapoor what her kids wanted to become when they grow up. To this, a confused Neetu said that they are still kids and they don't know yet. Mimicking Hema Malini, Neetu Kapoor said, "My daughters want to become actresses", eliciting laughter from Karan and Zeenat.
Further, Karan Johar revealed that he had called up Hema Malini inviting her to be a part of the show with Jaya Bachchan.

Sharing details of the call, Karan Johar recalled, "I called her and said, 'Hema ji, I want you to come on the show with Jaya ji."
"Jaya Prada? What we have in common?" asked Hema.
"I said, 'No Jaya Bachchan'."
"Yes, she I know."
"I said, 'You have done a very big film together'," remarked Karan Johar.
"'Which film?' she asked."
"I said, 'Sholay'."
Hema said, "Ahh! But that time she was always on the top with a lamp. I hardly met her."
This conversation left Neetu Kapoor and Zeenat Aman in splits and they termed Hema Malini to be a very "candid" person.
Further on the show, Karan Johar also asked Zeenat and Neetu about their friendship with Rekha. "I have done some films with Rekha. I think Neetu at that time was much closer to Rekha," said Zeenat. '
"I have never done any work with Rekha. I don't know how it started," said Neetu, answering Karan's question on how their friendship blossomed. "She was just a very friendly person. She is a very sweet and warm person. She would just drop by without informing me. So she was just one of those girls. I was also very friendly. She was also very funny. She used to do a lot of mimicry."
