Zeenat Aman reveals her Instagram debut does not indicate her comeback to silver screen

Veteran actor Zeenat Aman has been active on Instagram and has shared insights into her personal as well as her professional life since the time she made debut on the social media platform. The actress recently opened up on the rumours saying her Instagram debut indicates her comeback to the 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! This photograph of me lounging at home was taken by @tanyyaa.a_ .”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Zeenat Aman (@thezeenataman) Fans showered their love for her in the comments section.
