 Sharing a photo on Instagram, she wrote, "In 2016, while attending a film festival in Oslo, I received a wonderful surprise on stage. I was felicitated for my contribution to Indian cinema when Norway’s Postal Department issued a special stamp in my honour. I was given a giant replica of it and 60 stamps for my own use."

She added, "I was thrilled by this novel gesture of appreciation. But I was unsure whether the stamps would actually work, so the next morning, I bought a ream of postcards, wrote out messages to my friends, slapped a Zeenat Aman stamp onto each, crossed my fingers, and dropped the cards into a postbox."

She also shares, "Some weeks later, when I was back in Bombay, I began to receive texts and calls from my friends. All of whom were exclaiming with delight, having received my postcards in the mail!."

Zeenat kept the few remaining sheets carefully. She wrote, "I suppose that a limited number of these stamps got released. They are out of print now, so I have kept my few remaining sheets carefully since I really did feel honoured by this gesture."
