Zeenat Aman, 71, is delighting thousands of people with her wry, thoughtful Instagram posts.
Of course, Aman is no stranger to fame and attention, both good and bad.
That same year, she catapulted to dizzying fame with her performance in the hit film Hare Rama Hare Krishna, where she played a naïve, young flower child who is a drug addict. She was not a traditional Bollywood heroine - her unconventional beauty, bold fashion choices and outspoken ways stood out too much. But audiences loved her.She was also very self-aware. "In the world of commercial Hindi cinema it is very easy to get stuck with labels. Mind you, women have a very set thing to do - sing songs, look pretty," she told the BBC in 2013.
She truly did. From Sheetal in Roti Kapda aur Makaan , who chooses a suave, rich man over her unemployed boyfriend, to Bharti, a rape survivor on a quest for justice in Insaf Ka Tarasu , Aman constantly pushed the boundaries of cinema and also inspired many women to do the same in their lives.
