Renowned businesswoman and socialite Zari Hassan is celebrating a pivotal moment in her family’s life as her first-born son, Pinto, turns 21.
To commemorate this special occasion, Zari took to social media, sharing a poignant collection of photos that document Pinto’s journey from infancy to adulthood.
In her emotional tribute, Zari expressed her profound love and pride for her son and seized the opportunity to discuss vital issues surrounding motherhood, particularly the choices women face regarding pregnancy and abortion.
Reflecting on her own experience, Zari emphasized the importance of choosing life, stating, “Girls, the man you’re aborting babies for might have five other girls doing the same… In the future, when you want to settle down and have kids, it may not be possible.”
She encouraged young women to consider their choices carefully, advocating for the use of protection or the decision to keep a child, as she believes she made the right choice in keeping Pinto.
Zari shared her deep emotions, writing, “Here we are, 21 years later. I love you, Pinto Tlale, and happy birthday! They always say the first-born is the one who has been through it all with you, and I totally agree. Alhamdulillah, I’m grateful.”
Her powerful message resonated with many of her followers, who appreciated her courage in addressing a sensitive topic that affects countless young women.
However, the post also sparked mixed reactions among fans. While many supported Zari’s open discussion, others felt that her birthday tribute should have remained focused on celebrating Pinto rather than touching on controversial issues.
Regardless of the divided opinions, Zari’s heartfelt birthday message has ignited important conversations about motherhood, choices, and the complexities of raising children in today’s world.
