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. 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!” Zeenat Aman is an Indian actress and a former model. The Evil Within (1970), starring Dev Anand, marked the former beauty queen's acting debut. She has acted in films like Yaadon Ki Baarat, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Qurbani, Dharam Veer, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Insaaf Ka Tarazu among others.

23 Years of Lagaan: “A famous painter heard 'O Paalanhaare' and told me, ‘Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist aisa bhajan nahin likh sakta’” - Javed Akhtar

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track. At a show ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon’, the legendary songwriter opened up about this song and confessed that he got this surprising reaction often. He also revealed how he responds to such comments in his trademark humourous style. Javed Akhtar said, “A famous painter, Chanda, called me and said, ‘Javed, tum apne aap ko atheist kehte ho. Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist...
