Veteran Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman turned showstopper for fashion designer Shahin Mannan and returned to the ramp at the age of 71. Photos and videos of the actress are doing rounds on social media.

Exuding confidence and grace, Aman was seen flaunting her salt-and-pepper hair as she strutted down the ramp. She wore a red and black abstract-printed blazer top along with black pants. To complete the look, she opted for black sunglasses and matching footwear.

Before stepping on the runway, she shared a picture on Instagram and wrote, "Captured behind the scenes, before this morning's ramp walk. My pantsuit was comfortable and just a little reckless. I'd forgotten what a whirlwind it is to be backstage! The bustle of a fashion show approaching showtime is unique, and I can't deny that there was a butterfly or two fluttering in my stomach."

I enjoy Shahin's quirky designs, and had faith that she would create a striking look for me."
