The Yaadon Ki Baaraat actress gained a new wave of fans through her social media engagement. The announcement of Shaq: The Doubt, featuring Payal Ghosh as Aman, sparked skepticism among fans, prompting the actress to address the situation directly.

In her post, she discussed the importance of her involvement in any project portraying her life story. "Nobody knows me like I do," she stated, highlighting the potential for an incomplete and inaccurate depiction without her input. She elaborated on the wealth of personal experiences and anecdotes crucial to understanding her journey, experiences not readily available in the public domain.

Expressing her concerns about the potential portrayal, the 72-year-old actress revealed her apprehension towards strangers, particularly men, narrating her story. She voiced her worries about perpetuating harmful stereotypes, particularly the "sex symbol" label she has challenged for decades.

Despite her disapproval of the unauthorized biopic, Aman did not entirely dismiss the possibility of a future cinematic exploration of her life. She acknowledged ongoing conversations about potential film or series projects and expressed a cautious openness to the idea. However, she shed light on the importance of a "sensitive director, a brave writer, an immaculate cast," and adequate financial backing for such a project to come to fruition.
