Actor Sanjay Khan on assaulting Zeenat Aman leading to her eye injury: 'It was a well-planned PR attack'

Veteran actors Sanjay Khan and Zeenat Aman had tied the knot in 1978 but it had been reported the marriage was traumatic, tragic, and tumultuous. Several reports stated the actress was in a physically abusive marriage and one incident that occurred to her was the one that led to her eye injury, when she was beaten up at a hotel lobby. In a throwback interview where the veteran actor was promoting his autobiography, he opened up on the accusations that were levied against him. While speaking to Hrishikesh Kannan, Khan revealed, “I was so pained and horrified with the one-sidedness of the entire story because nobody even asked me that what happened. This was a well planned PR attack against me which came like a blitzkrieg. I was even accused of her eye going out…she is losing her eye which is not right. If you see ’81, ’82, ’83, ’84, she has done several films.” The actor added, “There is evidence to the fact that she has perfect eyes. Later on in life she became a little squint because her mother was squint a little bit. It was a hereditary thing that was labelled one me that I slapped her, I never slapped her, and this was blasphemy." Zeenat Aman on her eye surgery The ageless actor recently said she underwent a surgery to treat a condition in her right eye called ptosis, which she described as “an elephant in the room with me for the past 40 years”. Ptosis is known as the drooping of the upper eyelid that usually leads to defective vision or makes things look blurry for the patient. Aman said her younger son Zahaan and his partner, Cara, drove her to a city-based hospital here to get her admitted for the procedure on May 19, a day after the actor shot for the cover of a leading fashion magazine. “There has been an elephant in the room with me for the past 40 years. It is time to show this elephant the door. I have a condition known as ptosis-the result of an injury I suffered many decades ago that damaged the muscles around my right eye.”

“Over the years, it caused my eyelid to droop further and further. And a few years ago it became so acute that it began to obstruct my vision,” the 71-year-old actor wrote in an Instagram post.
