Maverick.” The veteran actress, who joined the social media platform lower than per week in the past,  is solely protecting us hooked to her timeline. Well, it is time to try her publish quantity seven. The veteran actress has shared an image clicked by her son Zahaan Khan.

In the caption, Zeenat Aman stated that “being young is wonderful, but so is being old.” Pointing at her silver bob hairdo, the veteran actress wrote, “As women, we are told that our social worth lies in youth and physical beauty. If not explicitly, then in a thousand subliminal ways. This is especially true for the entertainment industry. In general, as we age, men are bequeathed gravitas but women are at best offered sympathy.” She continued, “I was initially reluctant to stop dyeing my hair, and was strongly advised against it.

Zeenat Aman added, “Being young is wonderful, but so is being old. It thrills me to see more and more silver-haired women (of all ages) challenge the status quo. My son Zahaan Khan took this image of me (and my silver bob) a few weeks ago at a friend’s home near Alibag.”

She’s the one who has brought me to this moment, where I can enjoy moments of peace with my family in my garden, in the city I’ve always called home.”
