ISLAMABAD (PEN) : Azaan Sami Khan, son of renowned actress Zeba Bakhtiar, has shared a rare and heartfelt photo of his mother on social media to celebrate her birthday. In his post, he wrote, “Happy Birthday Amma, we made it through it all, Alhamdulillah,” reflecting on the challenges they have faced together and their resilience.
Zeba Bakhtiar’s journey, particularly her marriage to the iconic singer Adnan Sami in 1993, has been one filled with both highs and lows. Though their marriage was brief, it resulted in the birth of their son, Azaan, who has since carved his own path in the entertainment industry. However, their separation was a difficult chapter for both Zeba and Adnan, marked by emotional struggles and personal growth.
Adnan’s subsequent marriage to Sabah Galadari also faced its own set of challenges and ended in a turbulent divorce. It was after these experiences that he found stability and happiness with his current wife, Roya Sami Khan, and together they have a daughter, Medina. Adnan often shares moments of joy with his family on social media, offering a glimpse into their fulfilling life.
In a previous interview, Zeba reflected on the emotional and professional shifts in her life following her marriage to Adnan. She shared, “When I got married to Adnan, I was wrapping up a few films. At that time, I wasn’t particularly interested in continuing to act. I had a desire to write, perhaps produce, but acting wasn’t my focus anymore. After marrying Adnan and having Azaan, I fully invested in motherhood. But when the marriage ended, I turned to production and other projects to find new direction and purpose.”
Zeba’s journey has been one of personal reinvention—balancing the roles of mother, artist, and professional, all while navigating the complexities of love, loss, and life’s changes. Today, Azaan’s tribute to his mother is a testament to the strength and love that has sustained them through everything. The rare photo of Zeba, which has now gone viral, is a beautiful reminder of the bond they share.
