Veteran legend Zeenat Aman recently shared a delightful post reflecting on how she has reached a stage in life where her children have taken on the role of parenting her.
In her social media update, the Dostana actress expressed how her kids have nudged her to “learn to take proper selfies” and become more independent in navigating social media.
“Is anyone else at that age where their children have started parenting them?” she questioned. Zeenat mentioned receiving a pointed lecture about “learning to take proper selfies and candid pictures because you’re an Instagram personality, and stop depending on me for this, Ma.”
The actress candidly discussed her struggle with her children’s ‘attitude’. “I was quite miffed by the attitude, and even more so when the kids proceeded to reject the pictures I then did take over the course of the following week!”
Highlighting her experience, she shared that the rejected pictures had to be deleted. “Anyway, those shots have been relegated to digital heaven, but here are three snaps that I requested, received, and uploaded without their help: 1. A surprisingly on-point doodle from a newly discovered birthday twin – @badboyshah! 2. A hug for the gorgeous and ever graceful Helen! 3. Hearts for all!”
Zeenat invited her fans to share their own inspirations by asking, “Now in return for posting these icons on my feed, how about you tell me the name of the public figure/celebrity that you look up to the most and why? Enjoy your Friday night, my dears.”
The pictures shared by Zeenat Aman were from her recent visit to the sets of Indian Idol season 16. The first image depicted a doodle created by her birthday twin, Badshah, who serves as a judge on the show.
The second photo captured a joyful moment between Aman and veteran actress Helen, who joined her for a special segment honoring Bollywood icons on Indian Idol.
The third image featured the judges of Indian Idol—Shreya Ghoshal, Vishal Dadlani, and Badshah—alongside Zeenat and Helen. Zeenat’s posts on Instagram are cherished for their authentic essence and relatability.
On the professional front, Zeenat was last seen in the series ‘The Royals,’ alongside Bhumi Pednekar and Ishaan Khatter. During the golden era of Bollywood in the 70s and 80s, she gave us numerous hits like Yaadon Ki Baaraat, Roti Kapada Aur Makaan, Ajanabee, Warrant, Chori Mera Kaam, Dharam Veer, Chhailla Babu, Hum Kisise Kum Naheen, and The Great Gambler, along with standout roles in action films like Don and Satyam Shivam Sundaram.
