Yesteryear actress Zeenat Aman has proven that age is just a number and her recent Instagram post is dedicated to ‘ageing gracefully’ something she says, she continues to hear more often than not. The 72-year-old actress shared a black-and-white photo where she is in a leopard print outfit and reflected on ageing in a long caption.

“I am often told that I have aged gracefully. On a physical level, it isn’t that extraordinary. The rarified atmosphere of stardom is geared precisely towards this purpose,” read her caption which accompanied the photo where she is seen flaunting a ‘Griselda-inspired look.’ She stressed that ageing can be more challenging emotionally as opposed to physically. “Now ageing gracefully in emotion and conduct. That’s the tricky one,” she added.

The actress, who was known for her glamorous roles in the ‘70s and ‘80s, starring in films like Qurbani, Don, Qurbani, Insaf Ka Tarazu, and Yaadon Ki Baarat, among others, celebs work with an army of people who ensure they always look picture-perfect. “Any “star” you see has a team of people in the wings — nutritionists, personal trainers, make-up artists, hair stylists, clothes stylists, dermatologists, dentists, sometimes cosmetic surgeons and more — working frantically to smooth their hair, erase their wrinkles, cinch their waist, and doll them up, all while the star themselves projects nonchalance (sic).”

She goes on to share her thoughts on being “famous” and being “on trend.” “It invites clout chasers and those desperate for a modicum of your relevance to rub off on them any which way. So what if it involves blatant lies? It’s just surprising when such behaviour comes from someone you expected better from. I wish I could say most people leave these idiotic antics behind in their youth, but alas that’s not the case.”

On parting notes, Zeenat, who will be seen in Bun Tikki, alongside Shabana Azmi and Abhay Doel, penned, “Oh well, nothing really new here. It’s the same story, just a different year. So you may as well admire my Griselda-inspired look (sic).”
