Get over your insecurities, says Zeenat Aman to all men

Making one such statement on Tuesday, Zeenat Aman posted a top-angle photo of herself with her son Zahaan Khan who could be seen carrying Aman’s handbag in the picture. Adding a caption for the photo, Aman wrote, “This is a caption for men. Please don’t be afraid to hold your mother/sister/wife/aunt/girlfriend/friend’s handbag when they ask.

I can guarantee that you will need something from it someday if not every day.”
