Zeenat Aman, known for setting the silver screen on fire with her good looks, was among the leading ladies in the 70s and 80s. She continues to enjoy a humongous fan following. Now, giving her fans a major surprise, Zeenat made her Instagram debut. She announced her arrival on the popular photo-sharing app on Saturday.
In the first picture shared by Zeenat, she can be seen dressed in striped pants and a T-Shirt. Her caption read, "Laughing at the places life takes me. Why hello there, Instagram." The picture was clicked at her apartment.
Sharing yet another picture from the photoshoot, Zeenat opened up about how she would be the only woman on film sets in the '70s. She wrote, "In the 70s the film and fashion industry was absolutely male dominated, and I would often be the only woman on a set. Over the course of my career I have been photographed and filmed by many talented men. A woman’s gaze though, is different."
She added, "This series of pictures was shot by young photographer @tanyyaa.a_ in the comfort of my home. No lights, no makeup artist, no hairdresser, no stylist, no assistants. Just a lovely sunny afternoon together. It’s such a pleasure to see so many young women working on both sides of the lens today. I look forward to discovering more such talent on Instagram."
Zeenat, a former model, made her acting debut with The Evil Within (1970) with Dev Anand. She went on to act in films like Hulchul (1971), Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971), Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973), Hum Kisise Kum Naheen (1977), Satyam Shivam Sundaram (1978), Don (1978), Qurbani (1980), Dostana (1980), Laawaris (1981), and Hum Se Hai Zamana (1983). Her last on-screen appearance was in Ashutosh Gowariker's Panipat (2019).
