25th June 2023,Mumbai: Zeenat Aman, a seasoned actor, reminisced about those who were “far more interested” in her appearance than her intelligence.

She also said that she is not defined by a few horrible days from decades ago.

In an interview, Zeenat stated, “I quickly discovered that the world looked to women in the film industry for their youth and beauty. I took advantage of my good looks while also choosing parts that were unconventional. Nevertheless, my appearance and physique attracted far more attention than my intelligence ever did. I have enjoyed becoming older since it has balanced the balances, in part.”
“I have lived a life of breathtaking highs and profound lows,” she continued. “I have nothing to regret and owe no one. Any guilt or anxiety that I had in the past has long since vanished. There are some events in my life that the media clings to and keeps bringing up. I am conscious of them and am overcoming them more and more. I don’t need pity or defence since my life isn’t defined by a few unfortunate events that happened decades ago. I am satisfied with who I am.”
