Veteran actress Zeenat Aman reflects on how Kapoor khandaan 'shaped' her career, writes "A roster of talented men who helped define Hindi cinema"

Veteran actress Zeenat Aman penned a lengthy note praising Kapoor Khandan

Veteran actress Zeenat Aman has recently undergone a medical procedure. She didn’t reveal the reason for her hospitalisation, but she did share her health update. The actress revealed that she is currently recovering from a health scare.

However, she has now returned to social media following the hospitalisation. She took to her Instagram and shared a series of throwback photos and movie posters. She penned a lengthy caption reflecting on the individuals who had helped her in her journey.

Zeenat Aman started her caption writing, “Privilege, opportunity, self-belief… and yes, hardwork. Success doesn’t come easy, but should you find yourself in the upper echelons of your chosen industry, it would do you good to reflect on the people who made it possible.”

The actress added, “Last evening, while the doctor carefully removed my stitches at the hospital, I reflected on the many people who have guided or shaped my career. This meandering thought sparked an idea - a series of Instagram posts on my professional association with members of the hallowed Kapoor khandaan.”

She further explained, “Now most of you who follow me here are quite a bit younger than myself. To you, the name Kapoor probably brings to mind the reigning stars of the family’s fourth generation and perhaps even the emerging stars of the fifth.”

She insisted that before stars like Karisma, Kareena, and Ranbir, there were their talented ancestors who helped define Hindi cinema, and she had the good fortune of working with them.

Zeenat Aman wrote, “But before the likes of Karisma, Kareena, and Ranbir, there were their ancestors. A roster of talented men who helped define Hindi cinema, and whom I had the immense good fortune of working with.”

She complimented Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor and penned, “The brilliant Raj, the gallant Shammi, the charming Shashi, the carefree Randhir, the resilient Rishi… over the next month I’ll be sharing clips and snippets of my experiences with these five superstars.”

She concluded her post by writing, “So while I rummage through the internet for the song sequences I want to share and labour away at my writing desk, here are a selection of images to whet your appetite for the stories that are to come!”
