"Well, hello there! Here I am, photographed through the window of @zanuski's car yesterday" She began.
She wrote about her brief departure from social media: "I took an unplanned social media break. Mostly because I got tired of seeing my own face on my grid! This time to myself really led me to ruminate on how different the world is today from when I started out. It's quite unrecognisable from what I lived through in the 70s."
"I am fascinated by what the internet, and more specifically social media, has done to society. There are both pros and cons of course. At some level, social media has democratised the idea of fame. Today, anyone with a little talent, luck and a smartphone can build a career that would have been impossible without immense privileges back in the day. Yes, there's a lot of online noise, but there is also honest talent that now has a platform." She added.
Talking about the prevalent 'cancel culture', the veteran actress penned, "On the other hand I am very cautious of the culture of easy outrage that has proliferated online. And how casually some people say cruel things online that they would never dare say in person." She further added her own approach, "To me this indicates a bored society that has forgotten how nuanced the world, and each person in it, is! To invalidate, tear down, and sully people for the smallest of indiscretions is absolutely counter to my approach, which is dialogue, and sometimes the acceptance that opinions can differ, and that's okay."
Ending her wise note, Zeenat mentioned, "That's it. My honest two cents for the day. I hope your Friday is wonderful. What are your plans?"
