Veteran actor Zeenat Aman turned many-a-heads at the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai as she returned to the ramp for fashion designer Sharon Mannan. Pictures and videos of her from the show did the rounds on the internet, with fans praising her for flaunting her natural hair.
In a video shared on the official Instagram handle of the fashion week, Zeenat is seen walking towards the centre stage in a statement outfit. She wore a red and black abstract-printed blazer top paired with black pants. She wore it with black sunglasses and fashioned her grey hair.
Reacting to her appearance, a fan wrote in the comment section, “Such a heart-warming moment.” Another one wrote, “Legend." While many went ‘wow’ upon seeing the veteran actor’s confidence as she walked the ramp; one more commented, “Amazing.”
Zeenat said about the show in an interview, “I started my career as a model, and over the years have walked on many runways. It’s exciting to be doing so again, while representing older women. Some would say I’ve come full circle, and that fits in beautifully with Shahin’s concept. I enjoy Shahin’s quirky designs, and had faith that she would create a striking look for me.”
Zeenat began her career as a model. She gained recognition when she participated in beauty pageants such as Femina Miss and Miss Asia Pacific International in 1970. She was only 19. She forayed into films in the same year and some of her early movies were ‘The Evil Within’ (1970), ‘Hulchul’ (1971), followed by her breakthrough in ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’ (1971).
The actress is slated to make her OTT debut soon with ‘Showsttopper,’ a series about the taboo subject of lingerie fitting. Zeenat joined Instagram last month and, ever since, remained in the news for her posts and pictures, which often win the hearts of her fans.
