Zeenat Aman shares rare photos of her sons; pens a note saying, ‘We must accept our children for the individuals they are and support them to meet life as they choose to’
Ever since veteran actress Zeenat Aman launched her Instagram page, it has been a great source of serotonin, nostalgia and so much for the fans to take a peek into the world of the actress. Zeenat recently shared adorable photos of her sons Azaan and Zahaan and penned a note talking about raising the kids as a single mother. The actress talked about parents ‘rejecting their kids for their sexual orientation, choice of partner or desired profession’.
The throwback photo sees Zeenat Aman and her two sons sitting on her lap. She wrote, “There’s no guidebook in the world that can really prepare you for parenthood. It’s exhilarating, overwhelming, joyous, and yes, challenging. Once my children were born, they became my sole priority. And as a single mother to two boys, I felt doubly responsible for my babies. More than anything I wanted to protect them, and shape them to be kind and loving men.”
She added, “My approach to motherhood has always rested on the bedrock of unconditional love. I believe this is what each one of us who chooses to become a parent, owes our children. When I hear of people rejecting their kids for reasons such as their sexual orientation, choice of partner or desired profession, it fills me with sadness and anger. We must accept our children for the individuals they are and support them to meet life as they choose to.”
She further wrote, “My boys are strapping adults in their thirties now, and it feels as though their childhood zipped by before I could catch my breath. So, here are some optional pearls of wisdom for any new parents. Enjoy every moment that you can with your babies, and don’t beat yourself up over the small things. A broken plate here or a teacher’s note there, hardly signal the end of the world. We don’t owe our children perfection, we owe them love, support and guidance.”
Zeenat Aman concluded by saying, “I pulled this picture out of a photo album today and had it scanned. It was made in 1990 when Zahaan was not yet one and Azaan was all of three years old. It was taken by the late Gautam Rajadhyaksha, a legendary industry photographer, at the now demolished Searock Hotel in Bandra.”
