Zeenat was shooting for a movie in Lonavala and Sanjay (who’s her ex husband) asked her to come back to Bombay so that he could finish his movie that he was shooting with Zeenat. She initially denied but then eventually went to Mumbai to meet him. She went to the Taj where he was partying with his other wife and he got so angry that he thrashed her mercilessly and his other wife also participated in abusing Zeenat. This abuse led to Zeenat’s eye being permanently damaged.
