"Classic Legends Season 4", to be aired on Zee Classic starting Sunday, will entertain viewers with insights and anecdotes about the lives of veterans from the golden era of Hindi cinema. The show will also feature stories on names like Shashi Kapoor, Vyajanthimala, Sadhna, Kalyanji-Anandji, Asha Bhosle and Hemant Kumar, telling the audience about their expansive body of work and its impact on the industry.
