Zeenat Aman says she won't share more than 3-4 ad posts on Instagram: 'Want to retain integrity'

Zeenat Aman in her latest post said she won't be promoting brands as much as other celebrities, after more than a month of creating an Instagram account.

Veteran actor Zeenat Aman in her recent Instagram post talked about her love for London. She calls the city her 'second home'. While she treated fans to a photo of herself from the streets of the UK capital, she also spoke about why her followers might not often find her promoting brands via her posts as often as other celebrities of Bollywood.

Zeenat Aman on not promoting many brands through her social media account.

The 71-year-old wrote, “Oxford Street has changed over the last 45 years, but not nearly as much as I have. I’m in London for a brief visit, and it’s been such fun to show the boys my old haunts. Between personal visits and film shoots, the city was a second home of sorts for many years.”

“In my twenties I would make a beeline to this street to browse the aisles of Selfridges. I loved their summer fashions, none of which were available in India at the time. So when I found an outfit I liked, I’d buy it in multiple colours! Once my shopping bags were in hand, it would be time for further retail therapy at Harrods,” she shared as she took a walk down memory lane.

She posted a photo where she is seen posing candidly in London. She was in an all-black look with a long black coat. She also revealed her decision to not promote more than three to four brands a month.

She said, “Since I’m on the subject of shopping, I have to say that I’ve noticed that many Instagram profiles are more akin to advertising billboards than blogs! It’s a bit of a pity, but it has helped me decide my own approach to this app. Though collaboration requests are pouring in, I’m determined to broach these with caution. I do not think I will share more than three or four, clearly labelled, collaborative posts a month, and I will most definitely not copy-paste captions. I have grown to be possessive of this space we are creating and want to retain its integrity. Both for myself and for those who follow my page.”

She also extended her gratitude to her followers. Zeenat joined Instagram last month and has been sharing insightful details of her life with unseen photos. She also shares her thoughts candidly which is much appreciated by her fans. Currently, she has over 149K followers on her account.
