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.
