Zeenat Aman, Neetu Kapoor, Sharmila Tagore and Neena Gupta have signed several endorsement deals in recent months and brands say the trend is not about the allure of nostalgia but to leverage how these actresses are reinventing themselves and breaking the stereotypes. Cosmetics and beauty company Forest Essentials, Oppo phones, and fintech platform Cred signed Zeenat Aman. Neetu Kapoor has been roped in by Mankind Pharma's petcare brand and PepsiCo's Lay's chips, while Neena Gupta now endorses electric vehicle Eblu Feo and P Mark edible oil.
