Zeenat Aman Unveils Vintage Wisdom 💫
Trust our Zeenat ji to drop pearls of wisdom on her Insta feed! The veteran actress who has seen more film reels than we’ve seen days, shared a video clip from the 80s where she was chatting with BBC Asia Network about her filmi career. In this throwback, Zeenat candidly discussed her journey from glamorous roles to attempting more substantial parts. 🎬
Zeenat’s Retro Revelation
In the shared clip, Zeenat talks about the pigeonholing that female actors face in Bollywood. "Bhai, yeh toh sach hai," she said, explaining how women often end up singing songs, looking pretty, and doing a few rona-dhona scenes. She reminisced how, despite her glamorous start with Hare Rama Hare Krishna, she took on meatier roles in films like Bandhan Kachche Dhaago Ka, Insaaf Ka Taraazu, and Satyam Shivam Sundaram.

Zeenat wrote in her caption, “There’s nothing quite like a video from the late 80s to make me feel like a fossil!” She mentioned that during this interview, she was transitioning out of the public eye, having become a mother and being fully in “family mode.” Ah, the trials and tribulations of a Bollywood diva! 👩👦
‘When times are tough, better things await’
Zeenat reflected on her younger self, thinking she had life figured out, only to realize life had more twists and turns than an Abbas-Mustan thriller. “So, doston, when times are tough, better things await. And when times are wonderful, enjoy them to the fullest because a hiccup is surely around the corner,” she advised. Pure gold, hai na?
To wrap it up, she added, “Ignore my ‘You Tarzan, Me Jane’ outfit, and enjoy this clip of my reflections on my career and that unshakeable ‘glamour-puss’ tag! I was going to post a picture of my new haircut, but this felt more fun! And as always, your thoughts and comments are cherished.”
Fans Ke Reactions
Fans were quick to shower love and admiration on her post. One admirer gushed, “I just want to keep listening to you!! You are an old soul since the beginning. What clarity of thoughts and eloquence!” Another added, “Your glamour inspired us all to be mini versions of you and now you are setting another trend of being the ultimate example of a beauty plus brains a rare combination indeed!” Wah, kya baat hai!
In case you missed it, Zeenat will soon grace the big screen in Bun Tikki, alongside Shabana Azmi and Abhay Deol. The team recently wrapped up filming with a party. 🎉
