‘Despite the gossip, the comments, and the questions, I never felt diminished by it.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

In her latest Instagram post, Zeenat Aman addresses the ‘white elephant in the room’ referring to her drooping right eye.<\/p>\n

Much has been said and written about the way she got the eye injury, with many pointing fingers at a yesteryear actor Zeenat had reportedly had a relationship with decades ago.<\/p>\n

While she does not speak about that, she updates her followers on social media about her eye:<\/p>\n

‘On 18th May 2023, I shot for the cover of Vogue India<\/em>. On 19th May 2023, I woke up early in the morning, packed a small suitcase, and kissed Lily on her muzzle. Then Zahaan and Cara drove me to Hinduja hospital in Khar.<\/p>\n

‘There has been an elephant in the room with me for the past 40 years. It is time to show this elephant the door.<\/p>\n

‘I have a condition know as ptosis — the result of an injury I suffered many decades ago that damaged the muscles around my right eye. Over the years, it caused my eyelid to droop further and further. And a few years ago it became so acute that it began to obstruct my vision.’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

‘When so much of one’s career is predicated on one’s appearance, coming to terms with a dramatic change to it is difficult. I know for a fact that this ptosis narrowed my opportunities and made me the subject of unwanted attention.’<\/p>\n

‘But despite the gossip, the comments, and the questions, I never felt diminished by it. It helped, of course, that there were always a few stalwarts that stood by me and chose to work with me still.<\/p>\n

‘The treatments available to me at that time, and for decades after, were unsuccessful. Then this year in April, a leading ophthalmologist informed me that things had advanced, and a surgery to lift the eyelid and restore my field of vision was possible.<\/p>\n

‘I dithered for a long time, then underwent a battery of tests and finally committed to the procedure. That morning in the hospital I was terrified. My extremities turned icy and involuntarily shivers racked my body.<\/p>\n

‘Zahaan kissed my forehead, reassured me and wheeled me to the OT, where I surrendered to the hands of my medical team. I emerged from there an hour later — alive, well and looking like a pirate with an eye patch.<\/p>\n

‘Recovery has been slow, steady and is ongoing. But I’m happy to share that my vision is so much clearer now.<\/p>\n

‘This post can not conclude without a word of gratitude to my family, the absolutely stellar staff at Hinduja hospital, and especially the brilliant Dr Savari Desai.’<\/p>\n
