At the Ideas of India 2023 Summit, Zeenat Aman said that Dev Anand must have told some things about her and Raj Kapoor's relationship in his autobiography. But he was completely wrong in believing she had an affair with the film industry's icon, Raj Kapoor. Talking about the same, she said:

"With all due respect, at times while we are narrating an incident or an anecdote, we put some bits to make it interesting. I don't know what Dev sahab's perspective was but whatever was his perspective, it was completely wrong. Now, I will write about this in my book (autobiography). I admire Dev sahab, I respect him but this was not correct."

In the same interview, Zeenat Aman said that she met the late veteran actor, Raj Kapoor because he had signed her for Satyam Shivam Sundaram. Throwing light on the same, Zeenat continued:
"I would meet him as his about to be heroine. We never had any inter personal relationship ever, nor during that time, or before or after, never. He was passionate about his work. I was passionate about my work. Also, he never asked me, 'why you didn't wear white?'. Whenever I meet him, be it on a set or at a function, and you can see the old photographs as well, I have never worn white when I met him."
In his autobiography, Romancing with Life (2007), Dev Anand wrote that he had fallen in love with his co-actress, Zeenat Aman during the shooting of the 1971 film, Hare Rama Hare Krishna. But then, Raj Kapoor offered her the iconic movie, Satyam Shivam Sundaram and she came close to him.
