On Saturday, Zeenat shared the first post and wrote, “Laughing at the places life takes me. Why hello there, Instagram.” She also included a pink flower emoji to her caption. One Instagram user commented, “This is not just A Zeenat Aman. This is THE Zeenat Aman !!” Other fans also welcomed her on Instagram. Another person wrote, “A very, very warm welcome!

On Saturday, she made her second post on the feed, in which she shared a close up shot of hers, “In the 70s the film and fashion industry was absolutely male-dominated, and I would often be the only woman on a set. Over the course of my career, I have been photographed and filmed by many talented men. A woman’s gaze though, is different.”
She further added, “This series of pictures was shot by young photographer @tanyyaa.a_ in the comfort of my home. No lights, no makeup artist, no hairdresser, no stylist, no assistants. Just a lovely sunny afternoon together. It’s such a pleasure to see so many young women working on both sides of the lens today. I look forward to discovering more such talent on Instagram.”
Tanya A, the young photographer who captured her grace commented, “Definitely my most cherished portrait making session. Thank you so much.” While another wrote, “Gorgeous picture. You changed the face of the Hindi Film Leading Lady. You are a game-changer, Zeenat Ji. Thank you for sharing this lovely picture.”
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Zeenat disclosed that she was waiting patiently for her account to get verified while extended her gratitude to Diandra Soares, Tara Sutaria and Amaal Malik for introducing her to the platform.
The veteran actor was last seen in a cameo role in Ashutosh Gowariker’s period film drama Panipat (2019).
