Veteran actor Zeenat Aman, who celebrated one year in Instagram last month, talked extensively about the possibility of a biopic being made on her. The actress, in an elaborate post, stressed on the need of her fully involved in the process as well. She began the note with these words, “, it would be foolish to make a biopic about me without actually involving me,” and went on to talk about being called a “sex symbol” for years now, especially men. Her beautifully written note read, “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 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.” Before signing of, the actress said that it would take, perhaps a sensitive director, a brave writer, an immaculate cast for her biopic to come to reality.
