However, she emphasised that Jamil later became the centre of her world.
She said, “Honestly I didn’t bond with my son for the first year or two. I always wanted a girl. They told me it was a boy, and I started crying.
“So, when he came, he was always crying. My baby didn’t snap back. I looked horrible.
“I was supposed to do a campaign with Pepsi at the time and they had to not use me.
“I just thought this boy has destroyed me.
“But now, that’s my best friend. Me and him are like best friends, not even for the camera or social media.”
