Zeenat Aman says she broke her mother’s heart when she eloped with Amanullah Khan: “But it mended with the birth of my first son”
Veteran actress Zeenat Aman has always been known for her grace and candour. Recently, she took to social media to share glimpses of her life, specifically focusing on the incredible woman who raised her – her mother, Scinda Heinz.
In a heartfelt post, Aman uploaded two photographs of her late mother. Scinda Heinz, according to Zeenat, was an exceptional woman who served as her ‘safe harbour.’ Zeenat further described her mother as ‘a woman ahead of the curve,’ highlighting her progressive nature. The post delved deeper into their relationship, showcasing both cherished moments and past challenges. Zeenat acknowledged her mother’s unwavering support when she decided to pursue a career in acting. Scinda even gave up her own work to become Zeenat’s manager, ardently negotiating contracts and ensuring her daughter’s success. “When I made up my mind to pursue a career in acting, she gave up her own work to be my manager. She negotiated my contracts, invested my earnings, packed my tiffins, ran my lines, inspired my style, and bolstered my confidence to the nth degree. All this while maintaining her own exciting social life within the expat community in Mumbai,” she wrote on Instagram on Tuesday.
Zeenat’s post also offered a glimpse into her family history. One of the shared photographs featured Scinda Heinz with Zeenat’s biological father, Amanullah Khan. Their eventual separation led Scinda to find love again, marrying a kind German gentleman whom Zeenat fondly referred to as Uncle Heinz. The caption further revealed a more vulnerable side to their relationship. Zeenat confessed to breaking her mother’s heart when she eloped with her husband, Mazhar Khan, in 1985. “Mummy never thought any man was worthy of me (she was onto something there), and it was the only matter that we ever locked horns on. Even then, if I were ever low, I would crawl into her bed in our apartment off Nepean Sea Road, lay by her side and hold her hand. No words would be spoken, but my turmoil would settle and I would feel secure,” she wrote.
Zeenat further said, “It’s true that I broke her heart a little when I eloped, but it mended with the birth of my first son, who shares a birthday with her,” she added.

Recalling her mother’s death in 1995, Zeenat said that she “felt as though a veil of protection was snatched off my shoulders. These pictures are all the more precious to me now that I can only return to her safe harbour in my memories.”
