Veteran Bollywood actor Zeenat Aman has won hearts online by sharing a relatable and tender slice of life from her home. The celebrated actress opened up about experiencing a delightful role reversal, where her children have begun to 'parent' her. Her candid social media post highlights a universal phase of life with warmth and a touch of humour.
The 'Pointed Lecture' on Being an Instagram Star
In her post, Zeenat Aman revealed she has reached an age where her own children are offering her advice and guidance. The spark for this revelation was a "pointed lecture" from her kids about her social media skills. They told her to "learn to take proper selfies and candid pictures because you’re an Instagram personality, and stop depending on me for this, ma". This modern parenting moment, centred around digital literacy, struck a chord with many.
Miffed But Not Defeated: Zeenat's Picture Saga
The actress admitted she was "quite miffed by the attitude", especially when her children proceeded to reject the photos she took independently in the following week. Those pictures, as she humorously noted, were sent to "digital heaven". However, their playful critique did not stop her. Zeenat proudly shared three snaps that she requested, received, and uploaded without their help, marking a small victory in her tech journey.
A Glimpse Into Zeenat's Shared Moments
The three pictures she finally posted were special. One featured a surprisingly accurate doodle from rapper Badshah, whom she recently discovered is her birthday twin. Another was a warm hug with the ever-graceful veteran actress Helen. The third was a snapshot from a reality show. She captioned them with affection, calling Helen "gorgeous and ever graceful" and sending "hearts for all".
This episode shared by Zeenat Aman underscores a beautiful and notable truth about ageing and family dynamics. As children mature into confident adults, they naturally begin to look out for their parents. This role reversal, often seen in reminders about health or help with technology, is rooted in deep care and mutual respect. It signifies strong family bonds that evolve to include laughter, guidance, and love in new forms. Zeenat's story is a charming testament to this cycle of life, wrapped in the relatable context of navigating social media in today's world.
