Zeenat Aman has been creating a wave on Instagram with her thought-provoking posts. She joined the photo-sharing platform last year and since then she has shared numerous anecdotes regarding the Hindi film industry. Speaking of which, the 72-year-old actress recently dropped a post revealing that she won the title Miss Asia Pacific International and shared what inspired her to bag the title.

Do you know Zeenat Aman was the first runner-up at Miss India 1970?

On Monday, she shared a long post recalling her competitive side and how her Miss India loss led her to win Miss Asia Pacific International. Zeenat admitted to having a "bit of a competitive streak" and revealed she wanted to be the best at any endeavour she undertook.

Recalling how her competitive side helped her win the Miss Asia Pacific International title in her late teens, she added, "When I learned that I would be representing India at the Miss Asia Pacific International pageant, I became determined to win that crown. I was just in my late teens, but I doubled down on my efforts. I watched my diet, I practiced my elocution, I honed my makeup skills, I walked with stacks of books on my head, I read about world affairs. I gave it my all, and my hard work paid off."
"I came home with the title! The satisfaction of winning that crown was so much sweeter because of the loss that came prior," she added.
