Celebrity Zeenat Aman confesses that she once offered an apology to another famous personality due to her inability to identify him initially. He enlightened her on the situation.
In an unexpected turn of events, legendary Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman found herself in a humorous situation last year, during a chance encounter with renowned designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
The incident occurred on the birthday of Zeenat Aman's son, musician Zahaan Khan. The trio shared an elevator ride, and it was there that the misunderstanding unfolded. Despite being unaware of Sabyasachi Mukherjee's identity, Zeenat Aman, at the age of 73, asked for his name and apologised for not recognising him.
Sabyasachi Mukherjee, known for his work with Bollywood celebrities, politely introduced himself as the designer to Zeenat Aman. The designer, who has dressed stars like Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet in 2025, expressed his admiration for the actress during their elevator encounter.
Zeenat Aman took to her Instagram handle to share this anecdote, posting pictures of herself wearing a red top designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee. In a lengthy caption, she explained the incident and shared a laugh with her companion, Cara, about the misunderstanding.
The encounter between the two industry stalwarts ended with exchanged pleasantries before they parted ways. In the same year, Sabyasachi Mukherjee also designed for Shah Rukh Khan for his debut at the Met Gala.
This incident serves as a reminder that even the most familiar faces in the industry can sometimes go unrecognised, and that a simple encounter can lead to unexpected connections.
