Zeenat Aman opens up about her recovery after hospital stay: 'Take many hugs and good wishes from your......

Veteran actress Zeenat Aman has returned to Instagram with a candid and heartfelt post, revealing that she was away due to a health issue that required hospitalisation. The 72-year-old star, known for her timeless charm and honesty, shared two pictures from her recovery room and spoke openly about her journey over the past few weeks.

In her post, Zeenat began by saying, “Hello from the recovery room! I won’t blame you for thinking I’ve abandoned my social media aspirations. My profile has after all been quite silent and halfhearted off late. As the great Indian saying goes - what to do?” She explained that a mix of paperwork and the anxiety around a medical procedure had kept her occupied. But now, as she recovers, she feels ready to return to Instagram and storytelling once again. “You see there’s nothing like the sombre, clinical cold of a hospital to remind one of what it means to be alive and have a voice!” she wrote, adding that followers can expect more cinematic memories, stories, fashion, pets, and opinions from her.

Zeenat also marked two years since joining Instagram and reflected on her journey. She noted, “I completed two years on social media in February and crossed 800,000 followers this April. I started the journey with trepidation that transitioned to empowerment that tipped into disillusionment that has now moved on to fresh curiosity!”

In her classic frank style, Zeenat warned her followers about the dangers of social media. “Instagram is NOT reality,” she wrote, pointing out how endorsements, photoshopped images, and even followers can be fake. She encouraged fans to mute anything that affects their mental peace and not to fall into the trap of overconsumption.

“Take it from an old gal,” she advised lovingly. She ended her post with, “Take many hugs and good wishes from your fond Aunty Z who is in a chipper mood this evening.”

Fans filled the comment section with love and get-well-soon wishes. Meanwhile, Zeenat Aman is set to return to the screen with the Netflix show The Royals, releasing on May 9.
