Uttam Kumar, Supriya Devi and a 'missing Suchitra Sen' share frame in Zeenat Aman's latest Insta post to cheer for movie theatres

Mumbai/IBNS: Bengali film legends Uttam Kumar and Supriya Devi featured in the same frame along with the missing screen goddess Suchitra Sen , conspicuous by her empty seat, in a recent black and white post shared by veteran actress Zeenat Aman on her Instagram to cheer for watching cinema in a theatre.

In the post, Zeenat Aman was seen sitting alongside the three legends at a theatre in Kolkata (then Calcutta) in the 1970s.

The picture in the post is preceded by Zeenat Aman's latest appearance at a theatre where she can be seen cheering like a "carefree" woman during the screening of her iconic Bollywood film, Don, where she starred alongside  Amitabh Bachchan.

"These two images, taken some 40 years apart, show me as a member of the audience. Demure and a tad self conscious at a theatre in Calcutta sometime in the late 70s; raucous and carefree at a screening of “my” Don at Regal Cinema just last year," she says in the post.

Zeenat Aman said this in a post where she described her love for watching cinema in theatres in the age of OTT, which gives the audience luxury to watch films from the couch at home.

"I suspect the sheer glut of content available now has blunted the thrill of movie watching," the actress says and adds, "But my older followers will remember how novel, exciting and entertaining cinema-going used to be."

The yesteryear actress, who is best known for her scorching presence in 1971 film Hare Rama Hare Krishna, signed off the post asking for her fans and followers to share similar movie-watching experience in the comment box.

Actress Dia Mirza commented, "The first film i ever [sic.] watched was 'Born Free'. Not in the cinemas but at home on a vhs… That movie has shaped my whole life."

Zareen Khan writes, "Ma’am , I simply love the way you take us back in your time with your lovely anecdotes. Thank you so much for sharing."
