"There aren't too many pictures of me from this phase of my life. And certainly very few glamorous ones. Which makes this memory all the sweeter. Those were the quiet years - acutely so for me, but probably a phase that many middle-aged women can relate to," she wrote.
Sharing how she was surprised to receive an invitation to the event, the actress wrote, "It was the summer of 2010, and the who's who of Hindi cinema had flown down to Colombo, Sri Lanka, to attend the IIFA Awards. I was quite surprised to receive an invite, steeped as I was in homemaking alongside the odd work appearance."
"Despite some reluctance on my part, the awards committee insisted on plucking me out of my self-imposed obscurity. So my two boys and I packed our bags and boarded a flight. It turned out to be a wonderful visit. I was honoured with an award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinema, and felt the allure of my craft after a long while. Not to mention that the people-watching was exceptional! she wrote.
“You see, I am more an observer than a talker. The event was sponsored by a renowned alcohol company, and their vodka kept the attendees in unguarded, high spirits! There were enough shenanigans underway to fill a gossip magazine, but you know me, I believe discretion is the better part of valour," she added.
Regarding Zeenat Aman's career, the veteran actress's upcoming project is The Royals.
The eight-episode modern Indian royalty romantic comedy series, helmed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, promises to offer a rare glimpse at the glamour and romance of life at the royal life.
After winning the Miss Asia Pacific International pageant in 1970, the actress rose to fame in the 1970s and 1980s. She is renowned for having a fearless demeanor and was one of the actors who started the trend in fashion by making satirical choices.
