Iconic Zeenat Aman Shares Insights on Ageing with Elegance

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.”

Aman further delved into the intricacies of maintaining grace in emotion and conduct, acknowledging the inherent challenges of fame and societal expectations. She lamented the prevalence of opportunists seeking to capitalize on one’s relevance, even if it means resorting to deceitful tactics. Despite the disappointments, Aman remained resilient, acknowledging the cyclical nature of such experiences.

Closing her reflection with a touch of humor, Aman invited her audience to appreciate her latest look, inspired by Griselda. Filmmaker Tanuja Chandra was quick to commend Aman’s insightful post, praising both her words and the accompanying photograph.

Zeenat Aman’s upcoming project, “Bun Tikki,” directed by Faraz Arif Ansari, promises to showcase her timeless talent alongside co-stars Abhay Deol and Shabana Azmi.
