Zeenat Aman was one of the most talked about Bollywood actresses in the 70s and 80s. Her impressive style, graceful approach, and versatile acting earned a loyal fan following. Zeenat was particularly popular for her modern and westernised roles in Indian cinema, which left an important mark on the minds of audiences. The Hulchul actress made her Instagram debut in February 2023. Since then, she has often shared beautiful pictures and details of throwback incidents from her career that have made headlines. Recently, the actress shared an IG post about solo parenting struggles that shed light on her life's hardships.
Zeenat Aman said she didn't lead a life of uninterrupted glamour and composure. Despite the people's perception that has lead a comfortable and luxurious life, the reality is opposite. The actress added that the work that came her way reduced over time, and her body aged. At that time, she was left lonely to feed her two children without support from her husband or siblings. For the unversed, Zeenat Aman married Mazhar Khan in 1985, who died in 1998. The couple has two sons, Azaan Khan and Zahaan Khan. Zeenat penned:

Zeenat even worked on teaching poise to learners and wrote columns to earn and feed her children as a single mother.
