On General Hospital, ADA Turner has been circling Sonny with sharper intent lately, pushing her way toward the permanent DA job by dismantling his entire operation piece by piece. And even while she’s sparring with him — sometimes literally flirting while she does it — she’s also been quietly clocking the rot she sees elsewhere, calling out Drew’s “dirty” tactics and pushing the PCPD to pursue him harder. But off-screen, Nazneen Contractor turned her focus to something far more personal: a milestone celebration she marked with a tribute that stopped fans in their scrolling.

A Tribute Straight From the Heart
Contractor shared a long, emotional message honoring her mother, Yasmin, on her 80th birthday on Instagram. “My beautiful mother, Yasmin, celebrated her 80th birthday this weekend, and my heart is overflowing,” she wrote, calling her the embodiment of selflessness — a woman who “gives without keeping score,” sees good where others miss it, and built a marriage that set the family’s gold standard.
“She was the best wife and her marriage to my Papa was the gold standard of love,” she stated, continuing with, “She’s Jiji to my children—the grandmother who makes every moment an adventure. She’s the keeper of recipes that taste like home and memories. And to me, she’s been my constant, my biggest cheerleader, the voice that never doubted even when I doubted myself.”
Contractor credited her mom with, “Everything I’ve been able to build and create has her fingerprints all over it—not because she did it for me, but because she made me believe I could.” She ended with the heartfelt statement, “Mama, we love you more than words can hold.”
Fans React to the Woman Behind the Actress
The photos she included felt like an entire family history laid gently on the table: sun-washed childhood moments, her parents smiling in matching softness, wedding-day preparations, travel snapshots, and recent celebrations. A lifetime of saree pleats, proud shoulders, and arms that always seemed to know exactly where to go. And then the present day — Yasmin surrounded by her grown children and grandchildren, glowing in that unmistakable “matriarch on her milestone” way.
The comments came quickly and with the same warmth Contractor poured into the post. “Happy birthday!” one wrote, while another added, “Wow. What a beautiful family! Happy Birthday to your lovely mother!” Others shared their own connections, with one noting, “We’re so lucky to have these amazing women born in the same year and call them mom.”
Messages kept piling in: “Happy Birthday! You all look amazing and happy. Lots of love to all of you!” and “Now that’s a bouquet!!!” Someone else summed up what everyone seemed to feel: “Beautiful mama. Beautiful family ❤️❤️❤️.”
