Renowned actress Zeenat Aman, known for her candid Instagram posts, recently delved into the topic of ageing gracefully. In a reflective Instagram post, the 72-year-old icon discussed the complexities of growing older, emphasizing that while it may not appear remarkable on a physical level, the true challenge lies in maintaining grace in emotion and conduct.
Accompanying her contemplations was a striking black and white photograph showcasing a “Griselda inspired look.” In her caption, Aman candidly expressed, “I am often praised for ageing gracefully. On a physical level, it may not seem extraordinary. The glamorous world of stardom often strives for this illusion. Behind every ‘star’ lies a team of professionals—nutritionists, personal trainers, makeup artists, and more—working tirelessly to maintain appearances, while the star themselves project an air of nonchalance.”
