Alice Rodriguez De Fonseca: 42. Early marriage. Early divorce. No issue. Can single-handedly run the underworld empire but will still dance for the boss.

Poster girl of the 1970s, Zeenat Aman returns to the screen with Boom! having begun her stint on screen when she was only 16 years old. Paired opposite Bachchan, Zeenat has also taken to theatre with Chupke Chupke, now staged in the US.

She plays a negative character. "Honestly, it just happened," she says. "I met Kaizad and, a week later, he called from Dubai, saying, "This is an SOS. You have got a part and we can't cast it here."

"Ayesha and Jackie - who had been very supportive with finishing [actor-director] Mazhar's [Khan, Aman's late husband] film, Gang - said I should do it. I am open to doing good work."
