Zeenat Aman recalls enjoying 'a few cigarettes a day', here's what made her quit

Zeenat Aman drops nostalgic post

Zeenat Aman's influencer era is in full swing. The actress has been enjoying her time on Instagram, sharing nostalgic nuggets of gold from the bygone era of Bollywood with the world. Today Zeenat Aman has decided to treat us with yet another nostalgic picture. This time it is from the sets of ‘Chhailla Babu’.


While sharing a picture with the director of the film Joy Mukherjee and the effervescent Dimple Kapadia, along with the film Zeenat has written a long caption. Zeenat Aman wrote, “I can’t recollect where this picture was taken, but it quite certainly had something to do with the film Chhailla Babu. Perhaps it’s a BTS shot from set. I say this because while the chairs scream “production”, I’m in my own clothes not a costume. With me are the director of the film Joy Mukherjee and the effervescent Dimple Kapadia, who must have been visiting set as she was married to the lead actor.”

She further added, “Dimple and I both got big career breaks thanks to Raj Kapoor. She as a teenager, when she was cast in and as Bobby. Whereas I was able to deliver a blow to my “western image” thanks to SSS.”

Further while elaborating on why she has made this post, Zeenat wrote, “This isn’t a post about Dimple’s talent though she has that in spades, it’s about the little I saw of her character. During a very difficult phase in my life she was one of a mere handful of people who publicly stood by me. This despite the criticism and scrutiny of her own life that the decision invited! In those trying times she revealed to me a strength of character that I admire to date. I don’t believe she is on Instagram, but perhaps @twinklerkhanna will pass on my love to her. Truly, a wave of appreciation washed over me when I found this picture some days ago.”

She further concluded the note by asking people to get influenced by her smoking in the picture and wrote, “On another note, please don’t be influenced by my smoking in this image! I’ll admit I enjoyed a few cigarettes a day between my late teens and early 30s, but that all went out of the window the minute I became pregnant with my first born!”
