Zeenat Aman, without taking names, schooled a brand about her worth. She pointed out that while such businesses court her, their proposed payment for her endorsement or partnership consistently falls short. Read on!
Famous film star Zeenat Aman, celebrated for her candid persona, recently turned to Instagram to voice her thoughts about a premium brand’s quite skimpy offer in return for a social media collaboration. Within her post, she also pointed out the noticeable pay gap between herself and another actor involved with the brand, who bags a significantly larger sum for promotional tasks. Read on.
The seasoned actress is refreshingly honest and open in her Instagram posts, where she shares about her life, past incidents, hardships, choices, and her views on being a woman. She recently shared a post opening up about feeling overlooked and unvalued, due to several people sending her badly composed and unfinished formal messages over the social network.
Taking it to Instagram post Zeenat added, “Last minute invitations that the organiser forgot to edit (and which are addressed to another celebrity who must have declined) are mildly insulting. Impolite emails with minimal details and brusque “share commercials” are infuriating. And shady proposals to post stories or comments without the paid partnership tag are distasteful (sic).”
She voiced her disappointment about not being rewarded in any way for her hard work. Zeenat made it clear how these brands take advantage of her time, efforts, public image, and audience reach. Given her almost five decades of experience in this sphere, she cherishes her autonomy. Her bond with her social media followers brings her joy and she’s firm on her stance to not back any brand that falls short to recognise her worth and meet her compensation expectations.
The veteran actor further added, “I am over 70 years old, and I have held my own in this industry for over half a century. I work with what I know to be an unusual professionalism. I have a social media audience that is not only entirely organic, but so beautifully engaged. I have immense respect for myself, and for you who follow my page (sic).”
