Bollywood veteran actress Zeenat Aman, who has been a hit with youngsters and elders on Instagram, has been off social media for a while now.

The beautiful actress is soon going to make a comeback on the silver screen with a film titled 'Bun Tikki' where she is sharing screen space with Shaban Azmi, Abhay Deol, and Lin Laishram. The movie was directed by Faraz Arif Ansari.

Zeenat posted a picture of hers on Instagram after a long time, and she looked pretty in a soothing suit as she waved to the camera of her son Zahaan Khan, who clicked the picture.

Here I am, photographed through the window of @zanuski’s car yesterday.

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 unrecognizable 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 democratized the idea of fame," she wrote.

Further taking note of the fact that the Internet is making careers of teenagers, she added: "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.

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. To me, this indicates a bored society that has forgotten how nuanced the world and each person in it are! 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.

That’s it. My honest two cents for the day. I hope your Friday is wonderful. What are your plans?"

Zeenat Aman was in the news recently after she made a post asking youngsters to stay in a live-in relationship before getting married.

It didn't go well with some actors; Mutaz and Saira Banu voiced their concern over it and said it was not good advice from a senior actor like Zeenat Aman, as this isn't our culture.
