Controversy

Zeenat Aman was beaten a lot by Sanjay Khan

When the actress got to Sanjay Khan's house she learned that the director and his wife Zarine Katrak were having a good time at the Taj Hotel. But when Zeenat Aman arrived at the Taj hotel and only wanted to discuss dates with Sanjay the latter responded in a way that still gave everyone goosebumps. 

Sanjay lost it completely and beat Zeenat inside the hotel room as soon as he learned that she had come into the building to meet him in front of his wife Zarine Katrak. It was the darkest day of Zeenat's life with him grabbing her by her hair slapping her on the floor and randomly punching her.

Zeenat Aman was being continuously beaten by Sanjay Khan inside the hotel room and neither the staff nor any guests arrived to protect the actress from his fury.

Zarine Katrak came to the room but to everyone's surprise, she applauded and supported her husband as he brutally beat Zeenat. In addition, Zarine verbally attacked the actress and demanded that Sanjay teach her a lesson she would never forget.

It wasn't the first time Sanjay Khan had beaten the actress inside the hotel room. But that day was different because he allowed his inner animal to go wild. Sanjay repeatedly slammed Zeenat's head against the ground while she was being beaten irreversibly harming one of her eyes. Although the medical disease is typically identified in the early years of childhood the actress's onset of it at such a young age was the result of a severe blow to the head.

Zeenat Aman has not reported her husband Sanjay Khan to the police despite being brutally assaulted by him. She had truly loved him with all of her heart and soul therefore she made the choice to leave him without holding him accountable for his cruel actions. 

However, the incident quickly hit the news and Zeenat's doctor spoke with a publication about it. After the incident entered the headlines Sanjay Khan was the target of several criticisms. 

He had then said that Zeenat Aman's eye condition was a hereditary issue. Zeenat's mother had strabismus a medical problem that their daughter inherited from her mother the filmmaker had previously said. However, the hotel's unnamed sources and Zeenat's close pals were able to confirm that everything reported in the media indeed took place.

The rape incident

Aman Khanna also known as Sarfaraz a businessman was accused of rape in February 2018 by Zeenat Aman.

After allegedly repeatedly raping Aman and stalking harassing and robbing him charges were brought against Khanna who was subsequently imprisoned. According to reports, the instances listed occurred between 2011 and 2016.
