Zeenat Aman on Instagram is probably the best gift to her fans. She often shares interesting anecdotes related to her personal life, movies and more. Amid the ongoing festive period, the veteran actress shared valuable advice on sustainable fashion. Zeenat borrows designer clothes for weddings and other festivals. This was revealed on Instagram. She asked young people to not feel pressurised to buy new outfits for important events.

Zeenat shared on Instagram, "I'll take this opportunity to let you in on a secret too. Most of the fancy designer outfits that I wear to such occasions are borrowed. The jewellery I have on was loaned to me by Vimal from Argentum. And this powder blue sharara was sent to me by my dear friend Mohini Chabria. It will be drycleaned and returned."

She further added, "I'm sharing this because I don't want young people to feel pressured to buy new outfits or spend beyond their means just because they see celebrities in designer clothes. Whether you borrow, thrift or buy, what matters is that you don't break your bank, and actually enjoy what you wear. And of course, in my books, comfort is key! In fact, I've thrown out all my high heels."

In the same post, she said, "My own wedding to the father of my children was a discreet affair. We eloped, and got married in Singapore in a low key ceremony with just two witnesses. But reserved as I am, I can't deny the charm and madness of the "big Indian wedding"! The food, the music, the colours, the atmosphere of revelry - it's infectious. This picture of @zanuski, @carapiranha and I was taken at a beautiful family celebration in Delhi last week."

Zeenat will be returning to the big screen with fashion designer Manish Malhotra's Bun Tikki. The film will also star Shabana Azmi and Abhay Deol. Directed by Faraz Arif Ansari, Jyoti Deshpande, Dinesh Malhotra, and Marijke Desouza will produce the film under the umbrella of Manish Malhotra's Stage 5 Productions.

Zeenat's last on-screen appearance was in Ashutosh Gowariker's Panipat (2019). The veteran actor made her Instagram debut on February 11, 2023, and delighted her fans.
