Veteran actress Zeenat Aman has shared her thoughts on fame and self-worth. Appearing on Karan Johar’s chat show ‘Koffee With Karan‘, the ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’ actress said fame is unreliable and that it is not wise to build your sense of worth on it. Let’s learn more about it in detail.
What Zeenat Aman said about fame
During the chat, Zeenat Aman said people’s emotions towards you keep changing depending on where you stand on the social ladder. Explaining how fame works, she told Karan Johar, “Fame is such a fickle thing, and you cannot hinge your sense of self-worth, you know, on that because one day you’re loved, the next day you’re disliked, the third day you’re hated, the fourth day you’re pitied, and a few days down the road they will resurrect you again. So, why would you base your sense of self-worth on something as fickle as that?”
