Zeenat Aman joins Instagram, check out her first post

She shared some stunning images of herself on Instagram since joining it on Saturday.

In her post, the actress shared that sometimes she remained the 'only woman on a set' in the 1970s, an era when the film and fashion industry was dominated by men.

" In the 70s the film and fashion industry was absolutely male dominated, and I would often be the only woman on a set. Over the course of my career I have been photographed and filmed by many talented men. A woman’s gaze though, is different," she wrote.

Speaking on her latest images shared on the platform, the actress wrote: " This series of pictures was shot by young photographer @tanyyaa.a_ in the comfort of my home. No lights, no makeup artist, no hairdresser, no stylist, no assistants. Just a lovely sunny afternoon together."

Zeenat Aman first received recognition for her modelling work, and at the age of 19, went on to participate in beauty pageants, winning both the Femina Miss India pageant and the Miss Asia Pacific International pageant in 1970.

She began acting in 1970, and her early works included the films The Evil Within (1970) and Hulchul (1971).

For her role in the 1978 film Satyam Shivam Sundaram, she was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress.

She also acted in Don (1978), a film which spawned the Don franchise. In the early 1980s, she had leading roles in Abdullah (1980), Alibaba Aur 40 Chor (1980), Qurbani (1980), Dostana (1980), and Insaf Ka Tarazu (1980), the latter of which Aman received another nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress.
