Recalling one such incident, Zeenat Aman revealed that there was an incident once due to which the police had to intervene. While talking to the comedian Zakir Khan in the latest episode of his show Kyun Ki Kyon Nahi, Zeenat said, “Woh ek zamana tha jahan yeh digital media tha hi nahi. Ek waqt main shopping karne gayi thi, khabar mil gayi logon ko. (That wasn’t the era of digital media. Once I went for shopping and people got a whiff about it) Thousands and thousands of people gathered outside the store. At the end, the store owner had to call the police, so that I could get into the van and leave the store.”

She added, “Back then, artists dikhte nahin the. (Back then, artists were not seen) Aaj kal aap har jagah dekho, TV pe hai, kuchh promote kar rahe hai, Instagram pe kahani dikha rahen hai. (These days wherever you see actors are promoting something on TV or showing stories on Instagram). Stars are much more readily available nowadays. Back then they were real stars.”
