While being her witty self, she revealed the reason behind her disappearance and shared, "The drudgery of paperwork and the anxiety of a pending medical procedure have kept me preoccupied these past few weeks. But, now that I am emerging on the other side of this experience, I'm feeling inspired to continue storytelling on Instagram."

"You see, there's nothing like the sombre, clinical cold of a hospital to remind one of what it means to be alive and have a voice! So expect more cinematic crumbs, more personal history, more fashion, more dogs and cats, and yes… most definitely more opinion. Is there a topic you want me to write about? Leave it in the comments, and I'll certainly pick a few to dwell on," she further continued and added.

Zeenat Aman celebrates 2 years of social media

On a rather lighter note, she celebrated her two years on social media and achieving 800,000 followers this April and wrote, "I started the journey with trepidation that transitioned to empowerment that tipped into disillusionment that has now moved on to fresh curiosity! I love what this platform allows me, but there's something about the machinations of monetised social media that's unsettling."

"Since I engage with you here and also on occasion monetise this account, it's so important for me to remind you that Instagram is NOT reality. Gone are the days of simple TV and print advertisements where it was clear - celeb sells product. Endorsements can now be insidious and unannounced, followers bought, images unrecognisably photoshopped and likes manufactured! It's a point of pride for me that we have grown this community without indulging in these borderline unethical gimmicks," the actress, while talking about the fake world of social media, shared.

Take it from an old gal- Zeenat's advice to Gen Z

She further requested her Gen Z friend to not use social media for 6 hours a day and shared, "Take it from an old gal, and mute those handles that make you feel bad about yourself, heighten your neuroses or push you to buy buy buy! I'm very much looking forward to your engagement as I recuperate. Take many hugs and good wishes from your fond Aunty Z, who is in a chipper mood this evening."
