It may sound strange but the 1970s sex symbol and fashion icon Zeenat Aman is a little conventional when it comes to having children.

I think it's very wrong to be an unwed mother. You give your child the stigma of illegitimacy," Zeenat told IANSn in an interview."I desperately wanted to be a mother. I had no siblings.
