Zeenat Aman recalls how 'malicious' stories and labels about her took a toll on her 

Taking to her IG handle on September 2, 2023, Zeenat posted a bunch of pictures of some old magazine covers that featured her face. In these covers, we can see a label as "Has Zeenat Curses herself?" while another one is "Stop picking on Ms. Aman", and a third label can be read as "out of sync". However, sharing these pictures, Zeenat penned a long note and recalled how such labels took a toll on her. Talking about the same, she mentioned that she first subscribed to glossies and tabloids, but she later changed her decision after witnessing some 'vicious' headlines.

Calling such vicious magazine covers and the stories 'scandal', Zeenat stated that it had its own form of public humiliation. The actress mentioned she once approached an editor about a malicious story. But that editor was busy making excuses rather than apologising to the actress. That's when the actress decided not to take such things personally, as by that time, she understood that the only interest of such magazines lay in selling their products. In the concluding segment of her long note, Zeenat mentioned that people will always talk, no matter what, so the best thing to do is to not let them define one's life. An excerpt from Zeenat's post can be read as:

"All this is just to say - people will always find reason to talk, and so it’s probably best not to allow their opinion or perception to define your life. You can do that for yourself."
