Zeenat Aman Opens Up On Potential Biopic: Veteran actor Zeenat Aman who marked one year on Instagram last month, discussed the potential for a biopic about her. She emphasized the importance of being fully involved in the process in a detailed post. She took to her Instagram handle and wrote, "It would be foolish to make a biopic about me without actually involving me."

Addressing how men used to call her a 'sex symbol', Zeenat Aman said, "Quite frankly, nobody knows me like I do - so any research to this end would be incomplete, even flawed, without my input. I'd wager that for every factoid about me that's available in the public domain, there are a hundred more that are known just to me. There are a trove of milestones, anecdotes and personal revelations that are integral to understanding my journey. Oh, it's been an interesting life indeed." 

"I will also make no bones about the fact that I'm wary of my story being told by strangers. Especially men. The “sex symbol” tag is impossible to shake (believe me, it's been 50 years) and in the hands of the wrong storyteller may well devolve into a work of crass voyeurism and conjecture. I'm only too aware of the stereotyping of “bold women," she went on to state.

The veteran actor continued, "I am neither a seductress, nor a damsel in distress. And I am certainly not a victim. There have been conversations about a potential series or films, and I'm slowly warming to the idea."

"Will it happen? Who knows. It would take a sensitive director, a brave writer, an immaculate cast… not to mention, a producer who will - to steal a quote - show me the money," she concluded.
