She was an active participant in the anti-Shah demonstrations supporting her children in the cause they had espoused, as well as opening her home to those harmed or wounded during protests. One of her sons, Behrooz, was among those shot during the early days of the revolution. With the Shah's departure her home was filled with joy as all her children were free and the family was whole once again. This lasted a short while as on 5 August 1979 27-year-old Behrooz was killed during a suspicious car accident while travelling to Ahwaz.
