Zeenat Khan, better known as Zeenat Aman, is a veteran Bollywood actress and former modal. She ruled Bollywood with her movies in the Bollywood era of the 70s. She gave many hit movies like Hare Ram Hare Krishna, Roti Kapada Aur Makaan, Dharamveer, etc. Zeenat also won the Femina Miss India pageant twice.
Zeenat was highly criticized for her bold scenes in some of her films. She has also performed in theatre plays. Although Zeenat had a short tenure career and did around 100 films, she performed well enough to register her name in the history of Indian Cinema.
Early Days
Zeenat was born on 19 November 1951 in Mumbai (then Bombay). Her father, Amanullah Khan, was Muslim, and her mother was an Anglo-Indian. Her mother's name was "Scinda Vardhini Karvaste". Her father was a screenwriter and has written for a few famous acts and movies, including Mughal-e-Azam and Pakeezah.
Zeenat did her schooling in Panchgani. She got the chance to pursue her graduation from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, USA.
Her father died when she was just 13 years old. Aman was her father's pen name, which she later adopted in her name, making it Zeenat Aman.
Career
Modelling Career
Zeenat started her career as a modal. She loved modelling and had no hurry for entry into Bollywood. In 1970, she came second in Femina Miss India 1970 and was given the title of First Princess. Then in the same year, she became the first Femina Miss India to win the Miss Asia Pacific International Pageant at the age of 19 years. By winning all these pageant titles at that age, she made her name recognizable in India and the world.
Initial Years in Bollywood
Her modelling presence helped her enter Bollywood. Zeenat made her debut in 1970 with Dev Anand in the film The Evil Within, which was a big flop. It wasn't the perfect start she was hoping for.
In 1971, she made a small appearance in the movie Hulchul, and the same year she ap

Mazher Mahmood (born 22 March 1963) is a British journalist who was convicted of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Before his conviction, he worked mainly for the tabloid press. He spent 20 years working for the News of the World and the Sunday Times, during which time he was responsible for numerous investigations, including a reputed 94 that led to convictions. He won Reporter of the Year in 2011, as well as Scoop of the Year and the Sports Journalists' Association award, for an investigation of cricket match-fixing. Later, from its foundation in 2012, he worked for the Sun on Sunday, successor to the News of the World.
Mahmood became known popularly as the "fake sheikh" because he often posed as a sheikh during the course of his investigations. In addition to numerous highly regarded public-interest investigations, he attracted allegations of breaking the law without any clear public-interest justification, including several episodes in which he was accused of entrapment.
In July 2014, Mahmood was suspended from the Sun on Sunday after a trial collapsed against former X Factor judge and singer Tulisa, with concerns voiced by a judge that Mahmood might have perjured himself. In October 2016, Mahmood was jailed for 15 months after being found guilty of conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

Lawyer turned author: The life of Mazhar Kaleem
Kaleem wrote 5,000 children’s stories and over 600 novels for “Imran Series”
MULTAN: Literature enthusiasts are no strangers to the name Mazhar Kaleem. The internationally-acclaimed novelist has penned over 5,000 children’s stories and over 600 novels for the beloved “Imran Series”.
Mazhar Nawaz Khan, who would later in life gain popularity as Mazhar Kaleem, was born on 22 July 1942 in Kirri Afghanan in Multan. Even as a young child, he expressed an interest in investigative stories; this was only further propelled by the fact that his father was a police officer. He received his early education from Islamia High school and completed his matriculation in 1957.
Professionally, he completed his LLB and became a lawyer. But nurturing his passion and talent for the written word, he also completed his Masters in Urdu literature from Punjab University’s Multan Campus.
All clues point to a literary mastermind
“A friend of mine insisted I write spy fiction and thus I created my first novel Makazonga in 1960,” Kaleem once said.
The novel not only broke records for fiction and Urdu literature, but also catapulted Kaleem to worldwide fame. The success of his first book only served to increase his burning passion for the written word. He decided to make his foray into the world of spy fiction and started writing for “Imran Series”, a monthly spy fiction novel, on a regular basis. Eventually, he took over the entire series after the death of its creator Ibn-e-Safi.
“After the death of Ibn-e-Safi, Kaleem gave “Imran Series” a completely new identity,” stated Asif Khaitran, a radio broadcaster.
Through his stories, Kaleem stressed on the building of character in order to progress. Every month, readers would obliterate their nails in anticipation of another new novel. In fact, pirated versions of his stories wer
