Mumbai, April 25 (NationPress) The iconic Zeenat Aman has opened up about her recent absence from social media platforms. The 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' star disclosed that she was undergoing essential medical treatments during this period.
In a heartfelt post accompanied by hospital images, Zeenat stated on her IG, "Greetings from the recovery room! I can’t fault you for assuming I’ve deserted my social media goals. My profile has indeed been rather quiet and lackluster lately. As the wise Indian saying goes - what can be done? The tedious nature of paperwork and the stress of an impending medical procedure have kept me occupied these last few weeks. However, as I emerge from this experience, I feel motivated to share more stories on Instagram."
She expressed that a hospital serves as a poignant reminder of the essence of life.
"You see, there’s nothing like the stark, clinical chill of a hospital to remind one of the vitality of life and having a voice! So look forward to more cinematic snippets, personal anecdotes, fashion, pets, and certainly more opinions. If there are topics you’d like me to explore, drop them in the comments, and I’ll choose a few to discuss," Zeenat shared.
The 'Haré Rama Haré Krishna' actress also mentioned that she celebrated two years on social media this past February, amassing over 800,000 followers.
Zeenat continued, "On a related note, I marked two years on social media in February and achieved 800,000 followers this April. I commenced this journey with uncertainty that evolved into empowerment, then disillusionment, and has now transitioned into renewed curiosity! I appreciate what this platform affords me, yet the manipulative nature of monetized social media is disconcerting."
Addressing the darker aspects of social media, she remarked, "As I interact with you here and occasionally monetize this account, it's crucial for me to stress that Instagram is NOT reality. The era of straightforward TV and print endorsements, where it was evident - celebrity promotes product, is over. Endorsements can often be subtle and undisclosed, followers can be purchased, images heavily edited, and likes artificially generated! I take pride in the fact that we have built this community without resorting to these ethically questionable tactics."
Zeenat also shared a hospital photo on her Insta stories with the caption, "Indeed, I've been silent. But now I’m feeling quite talkative."
