Zeenat Aman
Veteran actress Zeenat Aman, who is often dubbed the queen of Instagram, has shared a thoughtful and sarcastic remark.
On Monday, the actress took to her Instagram, and shared a throwback image of a magazine cover, which declared that her career had fallen. She also penned a long note in the caption, as she wrote, “I’m filing this magazine headline under “things that didn’t age like fine wine" though at least they chose a charming photograph of me”.
She also took a shot at the publication behind the cover, saying that the publication that claimed her end didn’t exist long enough to see her rise in the era of OTT. “I don’t think this publication is around anymore, but guess which ‘fallen’ woman still is. Anyway, take this as your Monday reminder that resilience is a virtue, and, to quote one of the youngsters on set recently, ‘haters gonna hate,'" she added.

Earlier, the actress decided to turn back the clock and reflect on the change that came in the projection of Hindi cinema heroines within a short span between her two movies, Dostana and Teesri Ankh. Zeenat Aman was watching some scenes from her old movies, which brought something very interesting to her notice. She pointed out, "A few weeks ago, you watched me be eve-teased and slut shamed by Amitji’s character in a clip from Dostana, this week, you can watch me be the aggressor to Dharamji’s character in Teesri Ankh! (sic)".
In her Instagram post, the actress revealed how things had changed so much within a short span of only two years. The veteran actress further pointed out that the reason why one scene seems delightful but the other one is infuriating is due to the traditional role reversal. She shared, "The truth is, I can’t endorse Barkha’s approach, just as I couldn’t endorse Inspector Vijay’s! Banter and mischief are excellent tools of courtship, but I think our industry sometimes took these to the extreme”.
Zeenat Aman shared that several of our films glorify obsession and limerence, instead of portraying real and healthy love, something she also finds herself guilty of. "Now I recognise that I have played a part in propagating the ludicrous idea of romance that Bollywood has exported to Indians everywhere”, she added.
