Zeenat Aman Mesmerizes Audiences with a Nostalgic Journey at Carvaan Live’s Yeh Shaam Mastani
Zeenat Aman recently took the audience on a nostalgic journey – the first edition of Carvaan LIVE’s Yeh Shaam Mastani. Held at the prestigious Sri Shanmukhananda Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi Auditorium in Sion, the event was a heartfelt tribute to the golden era of Bollywood, blending music, nostalgia, and stories that have shaped Indian cinema.
Saregama Carvaan, known for bringing retro music into homes across the country, has now extended that experience to live stages with Carvaan LIVE. And Yeh Shaam Mastani was the perfect way to kick off this exciting new chapter, bringing together timeless melodies, retro music, and personal stories from the legend herself, Zeenat Aman.
From the moment Zeenat Aman stepped on stage, the audience was absorbed in her anecdotes about her journey through some of her most iconic films like Manoranjan, Don, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, and Qurbani. Hearing her talk about the challenges and excitement of bringing these characters to life, by the legend Zeenat Aman herself, was nothing short of fascinating.
Hearing about her experiences with directors like Raj Kapoor and Feroz Khan was a treat, as she described herself as always being a director’s actor. There were also candid moments about her chemistry with co-stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra, along with some fun behind-the-scenes stories of on-set rivalries. Miss Aman didn’t shy away from the tougher parts of her journey either—navigating the politics of the industry, while still staying true to herself. It was a night full of untold stories, real moments, and the magic that made her a true Bollywood legend.
Chatting with the lively RJ Anirudh Chawla, her stories took everyone down memory lane, keeping the audience engaged all evening. Complementing Zeenat Aman’s stories, lead singers Pragati Nagpal and Pranav Chandran performed live renditions of her most beloved songs. With their soulful voices and a talented live band, they filled the auditorium with classics like Chura Liya Hai Tumne and Laila O Laila, bringing every note and lyric to life. The audience, many of whom had grown up with these songs, couldn’t help but sing along and tap their feet, making the evening a true celebration of Bollywood’s golden music.
Speaking about the event, Zeenat Aman shared her heartfelt thoughts , “Being on stage with so much love in the room was truly special. Seeing people connect with songs and stories that have been part of my journey was heartwarming. Thank you to everyone who came out to spend this beautiful evening with me. I hope to connect with more people as the show goes to Delhi & Jaipur later this month”
Siddharth Anand Kumar, Senior VP of Films & Events at Saregama, added, “Yeh Shaam Mastani is our homage to an era that gave us timeless films and unforgettable music.Carvaan has been a beloved companion in homes with its nostalgic retro music, and now, with Carvaan LIVE, we’re excited to take that magic off the shelf and onto the stage. We are honored to have Zeenat Aman open this series in Mumbai and the response has been incredible. We’re excited to bring this experience to Delhi and Jaipur.”
The evening felt like a reunion of generations. Parents and grandparents, who grew up with these timeless classics, relived their youth, while the younger crowd discovered the magic of the golden era. The smiles, laughter, and even a few teary eyes in the audience showed just how deeply these songs and stories still resonate, making it a truly unforgettable family celebration.
After the overwhelming response in Mumbai, Yeh Shaam Mastani is now set to bring its magic to Delhi on 18th October at Siri Fort Auditorium and Jaipur on 19th October at Deep Smriti Auditorium.
