Yesteryear's glamorous actress Zeenat Aman, who recently turned 63, says she is ready to settle down again. “Of course I want to settle down with someone once again. Why wouldn't IIJ All these years I've single-mindedly focussed on my sons Azaan and Zahaan. Their well-being and happiness are all that mattered to me.

I wanted to focus on my marriage, husband and then the two boys,” she said.
