Zeenat Aman returns to Instagram after ‘medical procedure’: ‘I’m feeling inspired to continue storytelling…’ | Bollywood News
Veteran actor Zeenat Aman, who was missing in action on Instagram for quite some time now, recently shared a note revealing the reason behind her disappearance. She cited ‘drudgery of paperwork and anxiety of a pending medical procedure’ as the reason for not being active on the photo sharing app.
Sharing a couple of pictures of herself on a hospital bed, Zeenat wrote on her Instagram handle, “I won’t blame you for thinking I’ve abandoned my social media aspirations. My profile has after all been quite silent and halfhearted off late. As the great Indian saying goes – what to do?”
She added, “The drudgery of paperwork and the anxiety of a pending medical procedure have kept me preoccupied these past few weeks. But, now that I am emerging on the other side of this experience, I’m feeling inspired to continue storytelling on Instagram.”

Promising to return with ‘more cinematic crumbs, more personal hory, more fashion, more dogs and cats, and opinion,’ Zeenat asked fans if there was a topic they’d like her to write about.
In the same post, Zeenat Aman also expressed happiness in completing two years on Instagram and gaining over 8 lakh organic followers.

She wrote, “I love what this platform allows me, but there’s something about the machinations of monetised social media that’s unsettling. Since I engage with you here and also on occasion monetise this account, it’s so important for me to remind you that Instagram is NOT reality. Gone are the days of simple tv and print advertisements where it was clear – celeb sells product. Endorsements can now be insidious and unannounced, followers bought, images unrecognisably photoshopped and likes manufactured! It’s a point of pride for me that we have grown this community without indulging in these borderline unethical gimmicks.”
Zeenat then quipped that her followers take her more seriously than her own sons and advised them to refrain from spending six hours a day mindlessly scrolling through the Instagram feed. She said, “Take it from an old gal, and mute those handles that make you feel bad about yourself, heighten your neuroses or push you to buy buy buy!”
