1. Zeenat Aman normalizing aging
In one of her early posts, the Hare Rama Hare Krishna actress spoke about aging and how being old is beautiful. She said that as women grow old, they are ‘offered sympathy’ unlike their male counterparts. She penned, “As women, we are told that our social worth lies in youth and physical beauty. If not explicitly, then in a thousand subliminal ways. This is especially true for the entertainment industry. In general, as we age, men are endowed gravitas but women are at best offered sympathy.”

5. Zeenat Aman gives a piece of her mind to gossipmongers
Gossiping might come across as a harmless activity. However, when it comes to celebrities, these false information and rumors can affect their career and sanity pretty badly. In one of her posts, the evergreen actress addressed this issue and slammed those who indulge in loose gossip about celebs.
“I will also not hesitate to say that spreading loose gossip and false information says much more about the speaker than the one who is spoken about,” she said in the post. Kajol also responded to it saying, ‘Facts!’.
