She was married before entering films. She later quit the industry in the eighties.

She returned to acting via working in TV serials like Bahu Rani (2000), followed by Kavyanjali (2004), Hum do hain na etc.
She had married second time to a Netaji Salunkhe, a doctor based in Australia. She had met him on the internet after her first husband's death in 1996. They have been living together in Versova, India. In January 2009, she filed a complaint against her 70-year old husband, claiming that he tortured her.

Zeenat Aman was drawn to more unconventional roles. She was cast in Roti Kapda Aur Makaan, as the ambitious girl who considers aborting her baby to pursue a career (Ajnabee), the happy hooker (Manoranjan), the disenchanted hippie (Hare Rama Hare Krishna), the girl who falls in love with her mother's one-time lover (Prem Shastra), and a woman married to a caustic cripple but involved in an extramarital relationship (Dhund). She managed to balance these roles with acting in more conventional films such as Chori Mera Kaam, Chhaila Babu, Dostana and Lawaaris, which is considered by many to be a landmark in Indian Cinema.
Aman's film career began with a small role in O. P. Ralhan's Hulchul in 1971.

Anita Guha "Silver Screen Ki Sita" Biography
Anita Guha was an Indian actress who usually played mythological characters in films. She became most famous for playing the title role in Jai Santoshi Maa (1975). Previously, she had played Sita in mythological films like "Sampoorna Ramayana" (1961), "Shree Ram Bharat milap" (1965) and, "Tulsi vivah" (1971).
She came to Mumbai in the 1950s when she was only 15 years old. She became an actress there and made her film debut in "Tangewali" (1955). She moved onto hit films like "Sharada" (1957) and "Goonj Uthi Shehnai" (1959), for which she earned her only Filmfare nomination of her career as Best Supporting Actress.
But it was her title role in Jai Santoshi Maa (1975) that brought her the most fame. She had never even heard of goddess Santoshi until she was offered the role, as this was a little-known goddess. It was only a guest appearance, and her scenes were shot 10-12 days. She fasted during the shooting.

Other mythological films she acted in include "Dekh Kabira roya" (1957), "Kavi Kalidas (1959) "Jai Dwarkadesh" (1977) and "Krishna Krishna" (1986). She wasn't happy that she became typecast as a mythological actress, because acting offers eventually stopped coming her way.
