Zeenat Aman posted a few pictures this morning as she posed for a photoshoot along with an interesting caption. She shared a list of the roles she’d want to play on Instagram on Tuesday. The list also has Catherine O’Hara in Schitt’s Creek, Madhubala in Mughal-e-Azam, Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada, Waheeda Rehman in Guide, and Sridevi in English Vinglish.

Zeenat struck a few poses for the camera in a black ensemble with pearls. She chose crimson lipstick and pulled her hair back into a bun.  Sharing the pictures, Zeenat Aman penned, “Good morning, everyone. How do you like this look? I find it quite Hepburn inspired! As a model and actor, creative collaborations are so interesting because you get to see yourself as others see you. It also involves trust and patience. Speaking of Hepburn has me thinking about all the talented actors whose work I’ve enjoyed over the years.”

She continued, “Here’s a list of iconic roles I would have loved to play:

1. Tanya McQuoid in White Lotus, played with dotty perfection by Jennifer Coolidge.

2. Rosie in Guide, played by the ever graceful Waheeda Rehman.

3. Anarkali in Mughal-e-Azam, played exquisitely by Madhubala.

4. Cesira in Two Women, played so unflinchingly by Sophia Loren.

5. Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada, played with icy nonchalance by Meryl Streep.

6. Shashi Godbole in English Vinglish, played masterfully by Sridevi.

7. Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, seductively voiced by Kathleen Turner.

8. Miss Piggy in The Muppets, voiced by various artists over the years.

9. And… by popular demand and for my own amusement – Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek, played by the brilliant Catherine O’ Hara.”

Zeenat concluded by writing, “I just have to appreciate the acting prowess of all these women. They gave us characters that will resonate for decades. Who are the female characters in cinema and tv that have inspired you? Don’t be shy to be creative with your suggestions!”
