Zeenat Aman who frequently posts personal stories on social media, recalled the moment she didn't recognise Sabyasachi Mukherjee, a well known designer.

Zeenat shared pictures of herself on her Instagram handle on Friday as she posed wearing a red top from the celebrity designer. The 73-year-old actor penned a lengthy caption along, explaining the incident, which happened in 2022.

In her post, she recalled how she ended up sharing a lift with the designer, who also showed his admiration for the seasoned actor, on the occasion of her son Zahaan Khan's birthday.

"As we turned a corner towards the elevator, we could see its doors beginning to close. Just then, an elegant hand shot out, and the doors parted open smoothly for us. In the elevator carriage were two gentlemen, both immaculately coiffed and dressed. One was a bearded Indian man, and the other I suspect, was of caucasian descent. I smiled my thanks as we entered, and observed from their body language that they had recognised me," the post began.

"Cara jabbed the button for the lobby, and the bearded man spoke. 'Ma’am, I’m a big fan of yours, it’s an honour to meet you. I just want to say you have inspired me since I was a boy.' I thanked him for his generous words and he explained to me that he was a designer."

The "Don" remembered asking the designer's name, to which she apologised.

"As the elevator dinged to a halt, I asked him: 'What is your name?' Sabyasachi, he said with a demure smile, politely taking my hand as I spluttered an apology for not recognising him. The two men walked away, and Cara and I looked at each other before bursting into laughter at my gaffe."
