Zeenat Aman: Meaningful Relationships Have Been Difficult...

Veteran actor and social media influencer Zeenat Aman often makes the headlines with her insightful posts. She keeps sharing her life experiences and incidents. She has recently opened up about her love life.

Zeenat on Her Relationships:

She said, "I have not had too many. I didn't dwell on it when I was younger, but now I have been giving it some thought. There is a saying – it's lonely at the top. Well, it's lonely at the bottom too. I have experienced both."

"Meaningful Relationships Have Been Difficult"

She added, “In my own private examination of my life, I have realised a crude truth. Meaningful relationships have been difficult to come by because my public persona has always overshadowed my true self. The idea that people have of me has been something of a prison, even while it has been a privilege. With men, their intent was almost always obvious, which was flattering but ultimately shallow. And with women… the nature of society, especially back in those days, forced comparisons that led to envy in one too many cases.”

"Limited Success In This Arena..."

She continued, “What is the measure of a meaningful relationship then? For me it is when there is reciprocity – in celebrating each other's successes, enduring the bad times together, being able to speak and receive home truths, and above all, reaching a point where your outward masks (and don't we all have them?) can be removed. Sadly, I have had limited success in this arena. The silver lining is that it has made me cherish those meaningful relationships I have all the more."

“Perhaps I have bored you with this pontification, but it is followed by this one earnest wish – that each of you finds meaningful relationships, romantic or otherwise, to add brilliance to your lives,” she concluded.
