  • Zeenat Aman shares picture of herself with her mother.

Veteran actor Zaanat Aman gave followers to a rare photo from her adolescence on Instagram. She just started using Instagram, and her profile has not yet been verified.

Zeenat was pictured with Vardhini Scharwachter, her mother. She also disclosed that the majority of her family photos were destroyed in the 2005 floods in Mumbai.

Zeenat was pictured holding her mother, who was dressed in a sari for the occasion. The older star thanked her mother and wrote, “If I have lived an extraordinary life it’s because I was brought up by an extraordinary woman. My mother Vardhini Scharwachter was what you’d call a ‘pataka’. Elegant, intelligent, feisty and my pillar of support.”

She continued “She was a practicing Hindu and she epitomised the ideas of tolerance, love and empowerment. Her faith did not stop her from marrying my father Amanullah Khan. Later, after they had separated, she fell in love with and married a wonderful German man, whom I called Uncle Heinz. She taught me to stand on my own two feet and to live life on my own terms. She was truly the wind beneath my wings,”.
