Zeenat Aman on Tuesday shared a rare photo of herself with Dimple Kapadia. In the candid black-and-white photo, Zeenat smoked a cigarette as Dimple and filmmaker Joy Mukherjee looked on. In her long caption alongside the throwback, Zeenat gushed about the 'effervescent Dimple Kapadia' and spoke about her 'character'.
