Zeenat Aman on being 'parented by her children,' says their attitude often leaves her miffed

Veteran actress Zeenat Aman shares how her children lecture her on taking selfies and using Instagram, admitting their attitude often leaves her miffed.

"I was quite miffed by the attitude, and even more so when the kids proceeded to reject the pictures I then did take. – Zeenat Aman"

Mumbai Dec 19

Veteran legend Zeenat Aman, in an adorable post today, shared how she has now reached an age where her children have started to parent her.

The Dostana actress, through her social media post, revealed how her children asked her to ‘learn to take proper selfies’ and be independent while using social media.

“Is anyone else at that age where their children have started parenting them?” asked Zeenat.

“I have recently been on the receiving end of a pointed lecture about ‘learning to take proper selfies and candid pictures because you’re an Instagram personality, and stop depending on me for this, Ma,’” she added.

The actress also stated that at times she finds it difficult to deal with the ‘attitude’ of her children. “I was quite miffed by the attitude, and even more so when the kids proceeded to reject the pictures I then did take over the course of the following week!”

Mentioning that the disapproved pictures had to be deleted, Aman highlighted it by using the choicest of words. “Anyway, those shots have been relegated to digital heaven, but here are three snaps that I requested, received, and uploaded without their help: 1. A surprisingly on-point doodle from a newly discovered birthday twin – @badboyshah! 2. A hug for the gorgeous and ever graceful Helen! 3. Hearts for all!”

The address further asked her fans to reveal who has been their favourite celebrity whom they look up to. “Now in return for posting these icons on my feed, how about you tell me the name of the public figure/celebrity that you look up to the most and why? Enjoy your Friday night, my dears.”

The pictures shared by Zeenat Aman were from her recent visit to the sets of the reality show Indian Idol season 16. The first picture shared by Zeenat was a doodle picture doodled by her birthday twin, Badshah, who is also the judge on the music reality show.

The second picture showed Aman and veteran actress Helen sharing a hearty laugh. Helen had also visited Indian Idol along with Zeenat for a special segment on the show celebrating Bollywood icons.

The third picture featured the faces of Indian Idol judges Shreya Ghoshal, Vishal Dadlani, and Badshah, along with Zeenat and Helen. Talking about Zeenat Aman, the actress’ posts on Instagram are loved for their essence and also for being very true to life.

Talking about the veteran legend's professional front, Zeenat was most recently seen in the series 'The Royals', alongside Bhumi Pednekar and Ishaan Khatter.

Back in the 70-80s era of Bollywood, she delivered umpteen numbers of hits like Yaadon Ki Baaraat, Roti Kapada Aur Makaan, Ajanabee, Warrant, Chori Mera Kaam, Dharam Veer, Chhailla Babu, Hum Kisise Kum Naheen and The Great Gambler.

She also starred in the action films Don and Satyam Shivam Sundaram.

Love her! She's an icon who is still so down-to-earth. It's funny how roles reverse. Our parents took care of us, and now we end up guiding them through this digital world. More power to her for embracing it and even sharing the experience.

While the article is charming, I do hope the children's "attitude" is coming from a place of patience and love. Sometimes we forget that our elders might find new technology intimidating, and a little encouragement works better than criticism. Just a gentle thought.

Haha, classic Indian parent-child dynamics! My mom still asks me to "fix" her Facebook profile every other week. Zeenat Aman's filmography is legendary—from Don to Satyam Shivam Sundaram. Glad to see her active and connecting with fans like this.

Her Instagram is one of the most genuine celebrity accounts out there. She writes her own captions and shares real slices of life. It's endearing to see this side of a star we've admired on screen for decades. Wishing her good health and happiness!

To answer her question: My favourite celebrity to look up to is, in fact, Zeenat Aman herself! She broke stereotypes in the 70s with her roles and style, and now she's breaking the stereotype of how a veteran actress "should" behave online. A true trendsetter. 🙏
