On Sunday, actor Armeena Khan shared a throwback photo of her daughter, Amelie Isla, as a wide-eyed infant on her Instagram story. The image showed the baby wearing an adorable flowery headband, looking directly at the camera.

“It breaks my heart to think that I’ll never meet this version of my baby again,” wrote the Meri Tanhai actor. “To see her grow is a beautiful feeling but it is also bittersweet.”

Armeena and her husband, British politician Fesyl Khan, welcomed their daughter in February 2023. The couple had announced the pregnancy privately and revealed the birth a few weeks later through a social media post, thanking fans for their support and well wishes.

Since becoming a mother, Armeena has shared occasional updates about her daughter’s milestones, often reflecting on the emotional experience of motherhood. She has described the transition as life-changing, adding that it has shifted her perspective on time, work, and priorities by sharing unfiltered photos of her and her husband as new parents, writing: “The tiptoeing, the secret fears and a plethora of worries. This is what parenthood looks like without help. This is what they don’t show you in movies.”

Professionally, Armeena has kept a relatively low profile since her daughter’s birth. She has paused on-screen projects but has remained active on social media, engaging with fans and sharing updates related to causes she supports. She has also continued to speak about humanitarian issues, including mental health awareness and the global refugee crisis, especially in relation to the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

Armeena rose to fame with her performances in television dramas like Rasme Duniya and films such as Janaan and Sherdil.
