Zeenat Aman on loneliness
Taking to her Instagram account, Zeenat Aman shared a throwback picture of herself and wrote a long note.
She penned, "This Monday, a meditation on meaningful relationships… I have not had too many. I didn’t dwell on it when I was younger, but now I have been giving it some thought. There is a saying - it’s lonely at the top. Well, it’s lonely at the bottom too. I have experienced both."
She further added that meaningful relationships have been difficult to come by because her public persona has always overshadowed her true self. Her note mentioned, "The idea that people have of me has been something of a prison, even while it has been a privilege."
Regarding the context of different genres, the veteran actress shared that with men, their intent was almost always obvious, which was flattering but ultimately shallow. On the other hand with women, the nature of society, especially back in those days, forced comparisons that led to envy in one too many cases.
What is a meaningful relationship to Zeenat Aman
The Hare Rama Hare Krishna actress said that to her, a meaningful relationship is when there is reciprocity - in celebrating each others successes, enduring the bad times together, being able to speak and receive home truths, and above all, reaching a point where 'your outward masks (and don’t we all have them?) can be removed.'
Meanwhile, on the work front, Zeenat Aman will be seen in the film Bun Tikki alongside Shabana Azmi and Abhay Deol. The movie is directed by Faraz Arif Ansari and produced by Manish Malhotra.
