Kajol, Priyanka Chopra applaud Zeenat Aman as she says ‘you don’t need to look like people on TV or Instagram’

The actor went on to say, “The flawless faces on your screen are made possible by an army of technicians – make up artists, hairdressers, lighting personnel, stylists, camerapersons, and increasingly photoshop experts I hear! Remember that we’re performers, this is our job. Enjoy the aesthetics, be inspired, but take it all with more than a pinch of salt.”

She concluded by saying, “Life is too short for looking good to get in the way of having fun, right? 😉.”

The actor recently celebrated 42 years of the release of her and Amitabh Bachchan starrer-Laawaris. Sharing a still with Big B, Zeenat Aman wrote, ” Laawaris was released 42 years ago on this day on 22nd May 1981. An old school Masala blockbuster, it’s the story of a man born from an illicit relationship, and includes themes of love, betrayal, murder and reconciliation.”

She added, “This still is from the song “kab ke bichhde hue hum aaj”. I had been visiting a friend in London, and flew directly to Kashmir to make it in time for this shoot. Director Prakash Mehra had been keeping unwell, but his excellent team of assistants stepped up to the plate. We shot the song over two-three days in some of the most stunning locations I have ever been to. Jumpsuits were all the rage back then, and this purple set was just fabulous! ( and the reason I chose this picture.) Amit ji and I have had such a long working relationship, and I think part of the reason that we made a good onscreen jodi is our shared work ethic. We were both punctilious and punctual, which anyone in the industry will agree is not quite as common amongst actors as they’d like! I only ever recall him being late to set once in all those years, and boy is that a story to tell. 🌺.”
