Zeenat Aman returns to Instagram after “unplanned social media break,” reflects on “Easy outrage” culture: “This indicates a bored society that has forgotten…”

A Break from Selfies and Self-Reflection

Taking a lighthearted approach, the 72-year-old actress began her post with, “Well, hello there! Here I am, photographed through the window of @zanuski’s car yesterday.” She then explained her hiatus, stating, “I took an unplanned social media break. Mostly because I got tired of seeing my own face on my grid!” This break, however, proved to be a period of introspection. “This time to myself really led me to ruminate on how different the world is today from when I started out,” she wrote. She expressed her fascination with the impact of the internet and social media on society.

Democratization of Fame and the Rise of Online Talent

The actress acknowledged both the positive and negative aspects of social media.   “At some level, social media has democratized the idea of fame,” she observed. The internet, she noted, has empowered aspiring creators. “Today, anyone with a little talent, luck, and a smartphone can build a career that would have been impossible without immense privileges back in the day.”

Concerns About Online Discourse

However, the veteran actress also raised concerns about the negativity that often permeates online spaces. She expressed her wariness of “the culture of easy outrage that has proliferated online,” highlighting the casual cruelty that can manifest in online interactions. “To me, this indicates a bored society that has forgotten how nuanced the world and each person in it are!” She advocates for a more constructive approach to online discourse while shedding light on dialogue and acceptance of differing viewpoints.

Looking Forward and Engaging with Fans

Concluding the post, Zeenat offered her “honest two cents for the day” and asked her followers about their plans for the weekend. Her return to Instagram suggests a continued willingness to connect with fans and engage in thoughtful discussions about the ever-changing world of social media.

Speaking of the professional front, Zeenat is all set to make her acting comeback with Bun Tikki, an upcoming film also starring Shabana Azmi and Abhay Deol.
