Janhvi Kapoor, known for her flair in emulating classic Bollywood icons, recently showcased her admiration for yesteryear actress Zeenat Aman in a delightful video shared on Instagram. The young actor dressed up in an ensemble reminiscent of Aman's style and even mouthed the iconic line from her popular song, Laila Main Laila. Encouraging fans to dub her ‘Gen Z-eenat,’ Janhvi looked stunning in a white dress, accented with a fur stole and a headband.
Taking to Instagram, Janhvi playfully wrote, “Call me Gen Z-eenat (mirror ball emoji). Made to be iconic,” accompanied by a mirror selfie video where she adds her own charm to the iconic phrase, ‘Laila Main Laila’.
The post caught the attention of fellow actors and fans alike. Actor Jackie Shroff chimed in, urging Zeenat Aman for a comeback, saying, “@thezeenataman, time to make the comeback! Let's show these kids how it’s done!” Renowned fashion designer Manish Malhotra added a heart emoji to show his appreciation.
