Sabir encouraged Nadia to share his crying image to counter the idea that men don’t cry. He said other boys shouldn’t be afraid to cry for their mother either.
“He saw me and he wept on the phone with me. Then I told him to stop crying or I’m going to put this picture of you crying on social media and he said.”
Sabir sure does take after his mother.
‘Zaroor lagao, I love you Ami, ye aansoo love ke Hain. (Definitely share, I love you mother, these are tears of love) Lagana taake aur larke bhi apnee Ma ke pyaar main ronay se naa darrain… (Share this so that other boys aren’t afraid to cry for their mother …)”
We wish Nadia Jamil all the best at this difficult time.
