Zeenat Aman shares how older women in her life have ‘anchored’ her

'If you don’t have a story to share, then maybe this post can serve as a reminder to drop a heart to an older woman who enriches your life,’ Zeenat wrote.

Veteran actor Zeenat Aman spoke about the lack of visibility of ‘older women in the public eye’ in her recent Instagram post. She shared how the older women in her life have ‘anchored’ her and how she misses their presence.

Sharing a beautiful picture of herself, she penned a long note that read, ‘We see very few older women in the public eye. It’s not something I thought about when I was young, but now that I myself am silver-haired, I feel their absence.’

Zeenat added, ‘It’s a puzzling phenomenon, simply because older women mould, protect and nurture us in so many ways worthy of celebration. There is just no substitute for the wisdom of experience and years.’

She also mentioned how her mother, grandmother, her friend and stepmother have ‘anchored’ her. She wrote, ‘My entire life I have known older women who have anchored me. My mother, yes, but others too. My friend Khadija whose generosity towards me was unsurpassed and who, being widowed young, displayed an inner steel that inspired me. My dear, ever-patient Sartaj, who is always there to make me laugh, but who was also by my side during days of intense grief. Kavi, who is steadfast as a rock and cradles our friendship even when I am neglectful. My stepmother Shamim aunty, who doted on my sons and to whom I could entrust them no matter the hour… How different and colourless life would have been without their influence.’

Concluding her note, Zeenat Aman asked her fans to be grateful towards the older women in their lives.

‘When you sweep your eyes across the landscape of your life, do you not also find the influence of older women? I would be interested to know your stories. Stories of how a mother or aunt or grandmother or sister or woman friend carried you in your time of hesitance or need. If you don’t have a story to share, then maybe this post can serve as a reminder to drop a heart to an older woman who enriches your life,’ she wrote.

Soon after Zeenat Aman shared the post, Kajol commented, ‘So well said!’ with a fire emoticon. Manisha Koirala too dropped a fire emoticon in the comment section.
