Zeenat Aman reveals her Instagram debut does not indicate her comeback to silver screen
On Sunday, the actress took to Instagram and shared a picture of her sitting on a sofa in a simple outfit. Sharing the picture, she captioned, “There’s been some speculation that my presence here is the precursor to my return to the silver screen. I am a notoriously private person, and I suppose this sudden sharing has set tongues wagging. The truth is that I have been in the public eye since I was 16-years-old, and have experienced the perils of being misquoted, taken out of context, censored, and gossiped about. Now as a septuagenarian, I am enjoying the opportunity to reflect on my life and career in my own words. That too without any pressures from managers or studios or brands.
I am not, per se, planning a return to the silver screen, but nor am I closing that door. Creativity does not retire, and I would love to sink my teeth into a nuanced and impactful character. I’m of course quite aware that such roles for older women are few and far apart. Some days ago, I read about the Annenberg Foundation study that analysed 1,000 Hollywood films released between 2007 and 2017. They found that less than 25% of the women on screen were over the age of 40. The numbers for the Indian film industry are unlikely to be much better.
So, in short, I nurture optimism not expectations. In the meanwhile, my sons are helping me understand online lingo. I just learnt what a “thirst trap” is!

Fans showered their love for her in the comments section. A user wrote, “So happy to see you here …hahaha love this new discovery THIRST TRAP,” another fan wrote, “Staying true to self is a big deal and kudos to you for being yourself.” A comment read, “Thank you so much for sacrificing a little bit of your privacy to write these posts! They are so enlightening and it’s so rare and beautiful to hear your candid thoughts as a legend of Hindi cinema Of course it would be so incredible to see you on the big screen again but only if it is something worthy of your time and talent,” while another comment read, “You write so beautifully and on point!”
