Zeenat Aman recalls being pursued by an admirer when she ‘was in the radiance of youth’: ‘Didn’t give sender the pleasure of my company’

She started her post by writing, “A titbit from a makeup room many years ago. I won’t mention the time or place because it will stoke unwanted speculation, but I can share that I was in the radiance of youth.”

The actor then went on to reveal what left her flattered. Zeenat Aman wrote, “We had wrapped for the day, and I had returned to my tiny makeup room. Along with the usual clutter of Max Factor tubes and jars, I found a sizeable ribboned box on my table. The card simply bore my name, with no clue as to the sender. My curiosity was piqued. I unlaced the bow and opened the box to find another smaller box within it, and then yet another and another and another, all nested like Russian dolls. The last box had some weight to it. I popped it open and in it lay a tennis ball like some oversized neon pearl. Stuck to it was a handwritten note – the ball’s in your court.”

However, the actor didn’t entertain the request. She concluded, “Who doesn’t enjoy charm and a grand gesture? Though I unfortunately didn’t give the sender the pleasure of my company on a date, I was plenty tickled and flattered by his creativity! Your turn. Share a grand gesture that you’ve received in the comments.”

Zeenat Aman’s post received a lot of curious comments from her followers. Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar was one of the first to comment as he wrote, “Your posts are the best .. there’s always a story.” A fan commented, “What a charming story! Tell, WHO!!! Who was that broken hearted guy!!” while another one wrote, “smooth move……im taking notes…..”
