Traditional birth ceremony was arranged in the imperial harem, which was attented by Mahmud's mother, wives, and sisters. On this occasion Empress mother Nakşidil Sultan presented Aşubcan with presesents.

After Mahmud's death in 1839, his son Sultan Abdülmecid I ascended the throne. Aşubcan moved to live in the Beşiktaş waterfront Palace, and later in Çamlıca, and Maçka Palaces. In 1843 her daughter also died. In 1861, after the death of Abdülmecid, his half brother Sultan Abdülaziz ascended the throne. Aşubcan often wrote letters to both of her stepsons, and was even visited by them at her palace.
