Veteran actor Zeenat Aman, who recently made her Instagram debut, is winning hearts on the internet with her beautiful, thoughtful and fascinating posts and anecdotes. On Monday, Zeenat took a trip down memory lane and shared an adorable throwback picture featuring her sons–Zahaan and Azaan. 

Zeenat wrote a very meaningful caption and said that parenthood is exhilarating, overwhelming, joyous, and challenging. The actor wrote, “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. 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.”

She added, “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.”

Zeenat Aman also had advice for new parents. She wrote, “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.”

The veteran actor said that the photo was taken by the late Gautam Rajadhyaksha at the now demolished Searock Hotel in Bandra.
