Zeenat Aman took to Instagram to share a throwback with sons Azaan and Zahaan along with memories of bringing them up as a single mother. The actor penned a note with advice for new parents, adding that people rejecting their kids for reasons such as their sexual orientation, choice of partner or desired profession, it fills her with "sadness and anger."
Zeenat posted, "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. 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."
