Zeenat Aman On Meaningful Relationships: "My Public Persona Has Always Overshadowed My True Self"


 New Delhi:

Zeenat Aman often shares special anecdotes from her life on her Instagram timeline. From throwback pics to personal experiences, her detailed captions never fail to entertain us. On Monday, the veteran actress opened up about how her public personality did not allow her to forge “meaningful relationships”. She began the post by saying, “This Monday, a meditation on meaningful relationships. I have not had too many. I didn't dwell on it when I was younger, but now I have been giving it some thought. There is a saying - it's lonely at the top. Well, it's lonely at the bottom too. I have experienced both.”

Zeenat Aman added, “In my own private examination of my life, I have realised a crude truth. Meaningful relationships have been difficult to come by because my public persona has always overshadowed my true self. The idea that people have of me has been something of a prison, even while it has been a privilege. With men, their intent was almost always obvious, which was flattering but ultimately shallow. And with women, the nature of society, especially back in those days, forced comparisons that led to envy in one too many cases.”
