"Zeenat Aman aunty, if it's any consolation family wasn't spared either. We just received the standard family discount of 25 percent. Khan Saab would have loved your post. He would have laughed out loud."

Taking to her IG handle, on January 4, 2024, Zeenat shared a sepia picture with Feroz, from their younger days. In the picture, while Feroz was dressed in an all-black look, Zeenat stunned in a white top with a plunging neckline and denim pants. Sharing the picture, she penned a long note and reminisced about the actor's 'rizz'. But she also talked about her 'rough start' with Feroz and revealed how she joined the star cast of the highest-grossing Hindi film of 1988, Qurbani, which he produced. She penned how once, she had rejected one of his offers as it was a side role, and continued:
"I read somewhere that Oxford’s word for the year 2023 is 'rizz' - short for ‘charisma’. Well, if I’ve ever known anybody to have rizz, it was Feroz Khan. Feroz and I had a rocky start. It was the 70s, my star was on the rise, and he called me on the telephone to offer me a role in his upcoming production. It was a secondary part, and so I politely refused the offer. Feroz was incensed and let out a stream of expletives while I held the receiver away from my ear! Many months later, he called again. This time he started his pitch by saying - 'it’s the lead role so don’t reject it'. And that’s how I joined the cast of Qurbani."
Further, Zeenat explained that she was once late for the shoot after she entered the cast of her film, Qurbani. The actress also shared that it happened only because she went to a late-night party despite having an early morning shoot schedule. Thus, she reached the sets an hour late, and before she could explain herself, the film's producer, Feroz revealed that he would cut down her pay. However, Zeenat even after that, complimented Feroz for being a talented actor-director, and concluded:
"I often discuss set etiquette in my captions, so I’d be amiss to neglect Feroz’s influence on me in this regard. I was quite a diligent worker, but on one occasion my youth got the better of me. Though we had an early call time the next day, I agreed to go out to a party. It was a fantastic night of dance and drink, and unsurprisingly I landed up one hour late to set. Feroz was glowering behind his camera, and before I could offer him my meagre excuse, he cut me down to size. 'Begum, you’re late and you’re going to pay for the delay.' No argument, no scolding, but you can be sure that he docked my pay to pay the crew for that one hour delay! Feroz was suave, charming and polished. He was a talented actor-director, and Qurbani remains one of my favourite projects to date. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this anecdote and I hope 2024 is off to a roaring start for you!"
