Veteran actor Zeenat Aman frequently shares interesting stories from her shooting days. In yet another interesting post, Zeenat recalled how a man once attempted to impress her by placing a present on her table.
To discourage unwarranted speculation, the actor chose not to share the timing or details of the event.
The actress took to her Instagram to post a beautiful picture of her from the past and wrote, "A titbit from a makeup room many years ago. I won't mention the time or place because it will stoke unwanted speculation, but I can share that I was in the radiance of youth."
She continued, "We had wrapped for the day, and I had returned to my tiny makeup room. Along with the usual clutter of Max Factor tubes and jars, I found a sizeable ribboned box on my table. The card simply bore my name, with no clue as to the sender. My curiosity was piqued. I unlaced the bow and opened the box to find another smaller box within it, and then yet another and another and another, all nested like Russian dolls. The last box had some weight to it. I popped it open and in it lay a tennis ball like some oversized neon pearl. Stuck to it was a handwritten note - the ball's in your court."

She further added, "Who doesn't enjoy charm and a grand gesture? Though I unfortunately didn't give the sender the pleasure of my company on a date, I was plenty tickled and flattered by his creativity!"
As soon as the actress dropped the post, it piqued fans' curiosity, who asked her for more details. One fan wrote, "What a charming story! Tell, WHO!!! Who was that broken hearted guy!!". "Hahhaha so cute I think I know who the costar could be hazarding a guess :)" said another fan. While one of the users appreciated the gesture and wrote, "That is the most incredible and funny way of asking for a date."
For the unversed, Zeenat Aman began her acting career with the 1970 film 'The Evil Within' starring Dev Anand. The actress has given many hits throughout her acting career.
