Veteran actor Zeenat Aman joined Instagram earlier this month and she has been sharing notes about her career, controversies and personal life on the platform. In her recent post, Zeenat has thanked her followers for the love and support she has been getting on social media. She added that she will be using this platform to spotlight causes, issues or organisations that she feels hold meaning for society as a whole.
She wrote, ‘We are over 81,000 strong now on this page, and I am so touched by all of your comments, shares, messages and love. I am also just gobsmacked by the sheer geographic diversity of my well-wishers. It is physically impossible for me to respond to each person who writes in, but I do see and appreciate your words. Please accept a warm thank you from me.’
She added, ‘Over the past week, my boys and I have been discussing the purpose of my presence here. As well as how to use Instagram as more than just a platform for my memories, work and vanity. So I think, once in a while, I will take to Instagram to spotlight causes, issues or organisations that I feel hold meaning for society as a whole’.
Zeenat also mentioned her first pet Raphael and said her dog taught her to look at all animals with a kinder eye. She wrote, ‘I only stumbled upon my love for animals quite late in life, with the adoption of our first dog Raphael in 2006. Raffy’s love transformed me, and taught me to look at all animals with a kinder eye. Sadly, this also meant acknowledging how poorly most species are treated. Animal welfare is certainly something I will be talking about here.’
The actor also tagged a NGO asking fans to support them. ‘Other causes will vary, but for today I encourage you to follow @pari.network that brings out stories from rural India. I specifically chose PARI today because I see the evaporation of authentic rural stories from mainstream storytelling, and am aware of how much news space even the most banal celebrity updates occupy. I’m glad to be here with all of you. Bye now!’
Zeenat Aman last featured in 2019 film ‘Panipat’.
