In the Instagram post, Zeenat shared a photo of herself in a striking sculpted 3D dress in earthy tones. With her signature wit, she joked about her look, comparing it to the Komondor dog breed known for its unique coat, saying, “I’m giving my best Komondor impression.” This humorous take on her ensemble highlights Zeenat’s down-to-earth nature, even when sporting high-fashion outfits.
Zeenat reminisced about her experiences working with some of the most renowned figures in both cinema and fashion. She fondly recalled the late Bhanu Athaiya, the first Indian to win an Academy Award for Best Costume Design, for her work in ‘Gandhi’ (1982). Athaiya designed costumes for Zeenat in over 15 films, including the iconic ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’.
Athaiya’s meticulous attention to detail left a lasting impression on Zeenat. She shared how Athaiya went above and beyond by creating a mannequin tailored to Zeenat’s exact measurements, which allowed the designer to work on intricate designs without requiring the actress to come in for frequent fittings. “It would stand in her studio, and on this inanimate bust, she would actualize the fantastical ideas that appeared in her mind,” Zeenat wrote, highlighting the designer’s genius and dedication.
In a frank admission, Zeenat noted that no other designer had ever come close to creating outfits that were as comfortable as they were sensual, a balance Athaiya mastered. Despite her glamorous image, Zeenat confessed that she is far from being a fashionista. “I am constantly tickled by my persona as a woman of high fashion,” she wrote, adding that those who truly know her understand that she is more of a casual dresser. Zeenat revealed that she often finds designer outfits “unwearable,” a sentiment that may surprise her fans who have long admired her iconic looks.
The actress also shared an amusing anecdote about a wealthy friend who would gift her haute couture pieces, only to later lament that they would likely sit unused in her closet. Zeenat mentioned that even her most valuable heirlooms, such as her mother’s exquisite saris, often remain untouched, stored away in the depths of her wardrobe.
While she acknowledges her admiration for high fashion, Zeenat’s post makes it clear that comfort and simplicity are what truly resonate with her. Her ability to balance her iconic status with a relatable approach to style is part of what makes her such an enduring figure in the world of cinema and fashion.
In closing, Zeenat once again poked fun at her look, describing it as her “best Komondor impression,” and encouraging her followers to look up the dog breed for a visual comparison. Her humorous take on fashion, combined with her genuine reflections on her experiences, showcases the veteran actress’s down-to-earth personality and timeless charm.
