Zeenat Aman candidly spoke about posing for a cooking-themed picture for a magazine in the 1980s. While she sportingly posed for it, she confessed that her skills in the kitchen came down to just knowing how to boil an egg. For Aman, cooking remains a great joy in her life despite it not being one of her strongest suits.
