New Delhi: Veteran actor Zeenat Aman often shares anecdotes on Instagram and has kept her social media game interesting and real. This is the reason she has gained a good following in very little time. In her latest post, the actor recalled how a gentleman once tried to woo her by leaving a gift on her makeup table.
She posted her picture from her younger days and, without mentioning time or place, narrated the incident, “A titbit from a makeup room many years ago. I won’t mention the time or place because it will stoke unwanted speculation, but I can share that I was in the radiance of youth.”
She continued, “We had wrapped for the day, and I had returned to my tiny makeup room. Along with the usual clutter of Max Factor tubes and jars, I found a sizeable ribboned box on my table. The card simply bore my name, with no clue as to the sender. My curiosity was piqued. I unlaced the bow and opened the box to find another smaller box within it, and then yet another and another and another, all nested like Russian dolls. The last box had some weight to it. I popped it open and in it lay a tennis ball like some oversized neon pearl. Stuck to it was a handwritten note - the ball’s in your court.”
“Who doesn’t enjoy charm and a grand gesture? Though I unfortunately didn’t give the sender the pleasure of my company on a date, I was plenty tickled and flattered by his creativity,” she added.
She concluded the post by asking her followers to share a grand gesture they have received.
“Your turn. Share a grand gesture that you’ve received in the comments,” she concluded.
Filmmaker Farhan Akhtar was one of the first to comment and wrote, “Your posts are the best .. there’s always a story.”
