‘Don’t Break Your Bank,’ Zeenat Aman Tells Youngsters Pressured To Spend On Clothes

New Delhi: Veteran actor Zeenat Aman never fails to share anecdotes from her personal and professional on Instagram. In turn, her fans and followers never fail to shower their love on her.

On Tuesday, she also dolled out some valuable advice for the “young people” who get influenced upon seeing celebrities in designer wear. Sharing a picture with her son Zahaan Khan from a wedding celebration last week in Delhi, Zeenat Aman wrote, “My own wedding to the father of my children was a discreet affair. We eloped, and got married in Singapore in a low key ceremony with just two witnesses. But reserved as I am, I can’t deny the charm and madness of the “big Indian wedding”! The food, the music, the colours, the atmosphere of revelry – it’s infectious. This picture of Zahaan , Cara and I was taken at a beautiful family celebration in Delhi last week.”

Addressing the young readers, she continued in her post, “I’ll take this opportunity to let you in on a secret too. Most of the fancy designer outfits that I wear to such occasions are borrowed. The jewellery I have on was loaned to me by Vimal from Argentum. And this powder blue sharara was sent to me by my dear friend Mohini Chabria. It will be dry-cleaned and returned. I’m sharing this because I don’t want young people to feel pressured to buy new outfits or spend beyond their means just because they see celebrities in designer clothes. Whether you borrow, thrift or buy, what matters is that you don’t break your bank, and actually enjoy what you wear. And of course, in my books, comfort is key! In fact, I’ve thrown out all my high heels.”

The ‘Don’ star is all set to make a comeback with Manish Malhotra’s Bun Tikki, alongside Shabana Azmi.
