Mumtaz on the importance of looks and fitness for an actor: 'Janaaza bhi beautiful lagna chahiye’

Yesteryear actress Mumtaz is back in the headlines and it is because of her tell-all interview with an entertainment portal. Replying to a question on her looks and fitness, Mumtaz quipped 'I guess, for 75 I’ve maintained myself pretty well'. Mumtaz feels that an actor should always look his/her best and said, 'Along with being an actor comes the challenge of always looking your best. An actor is expected to look beautiful even in death. Janaaza bhi beautiful lagna chahiye! This is the truth.' She also recalled an incident when her 'bloated' picture went viral 20 years ago, when she was undergoing cancer treatment, and people said 'Mumtaz Khatam ho gai hai'. Mumtaz ended her answer with a request and said, 'I request my critics that when I appear good, please don’t hesitate to say so'. For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
