Zeenat Aman emerged as one of Hindi cinema’s most popular stars in the 1970s and 1980s, known for her glamorous screen presence and unconventional choice of roles. She made a mark with films such as Hare Rama Hare Krishna in 1971, Yaadon Ki Baaraat in 1973), Deewaar in 1975), Don in 1978, Satyam Shivam Sundaram in 1978, The Great Gambler in 1979), Qurbani in 1980 and Dostana in 1980.

Zeenat has remained active on social media accounts, where she frequently shares memories from her career and reflects on scenes from her films through a contemporary lens.
In an old post, she had revisited a scene from Dostana in which her character, Sheetal, takes a man who harasses her to the police station.
