Zara took off the hijab that she had been wearing for a long time and announced her removal of the hijab on her social media.
Regarding Ridwan Kamil, he was surprised by Zara's decision to take off the hijab, conveyed by his wife, Atalia Praratya.
"So I actually just asked for prayers from everyone. This shocked me, Emil was also shocked," said Atalia Praratya in the Tendean area, South Jakarta, Sunday, April 7 2024.
Currently, Ridwan Kamil is following Zara to England to provide support with the turmoil of her teenage years.
"Thank God, we shared, Kang Emil went there (England to meet) Zara, maybe he was confused when he was a teenager and so on. I'm here to take care of everything that maybe can't be done. We share tasks," said Atalia Praratya.
The mother also said that her child was currently in a long process of life and the mother was trying to explain her child's decision.
"Whatever it is, someone's life journey. I also accompany the process in such a way. We know that each person experiences different trauma," explained Atalia.
As a mother, Atalia Praratya can only pray for the best while inviting Zara to wear the hijab again.
"My job is to gently encourage people to wear the headscarf again and as a mother to pray, that's all," she said.
