It's that time of the year when we celebrate and honour the spirit of motherhood and applaud the efforts of the selfless soul, that a mother is. In many countless ways, she plays the role of a teacher, a guide and a mentor only to be the biggest support and inspiration for us. On the occasion, TV celebrities share their thoughts

She is one of the greatest gifts of God. No one can understand you better than her, no one can hear the unspoken words from your mouth but she can, no one can commit to being your lifelong friend as she will. She is the embodiment of sacrifice and love. On this special day, as they celebrate it as Mother's Day, celebrities from the Television world express their loves for their mums. While some share the lessons they learned from their mother, few recall one of their best memories with their 'Maa'.

The one thing that I have definitely learnt from my mom is to always be positive no matter what the situation may be. Till today, I try to apply this learning to whatever I am doing by trying to stay positive. And I know that it is not possible to stay optimistic every day, but I feel it’s a part of my genes and for that, I have to thank my mom. One thing that I really miss about being with her is that while I used to sleep, my mom would always have her arms around me which gave me the most peaceful sleep ever. You don’t get that kind of sleep when you grow up. (laughs) I wish my mom a very happy and healthy life. She’s a very happy-go-lucky positive person and I hope she stays the same always.

My mother has taught me a lot of things but the three most important ones are love, empathy and never give up attitude. My fondest memory with her is that as a child I was afraid to cross a lane in my city on the way to the gurudwara and wanted to change my way, she told me how many lanes will you change by being afraid, you need to face it and teach that boy a lesson so that he stops intimidating you. And it became a life lesson for me.

She's my home, my best friend and my world. I can never thank her enough for what she has done and still continues to do for me. Her love is the purest form of love I know. Even though the reflection can never match up to the original, I still try. Happy Mother's Day!

Growing up, my mother would play with me, teach me how to cook, make desserts for me and always sneaked in my favourite treats. Back then, we had a film-roll camera then and mom would always be prepared on all occasions. Later, she would gush over those pictures and pamper me. Now, being a part of Punyashlok Ahilyabai has bestowed me with a newfound family. I consider Snehalta ma’am who is also my on-screen mother, as my second mother. She is so warm, affectionate, loving and always there to guide me. Mothers are, truly, precious souls. A mother’s love brings with it hopes and dreams, but above all it is a love that is pure and unconditional. Happy Mother’s Day!

One thing that I have learned from my mother is discipline and to keep a very positive attitude and that has always been my mother’s strength. She is a fighter, a strong woman, she knows how to handle every situation with a smile. Her jest and her attitude for life are amazing. She is 78 now, but she wakes up early in the morning and goes to the gym. She has a very disciplined life. I have always led my life like her, being disciplined, being on time, giving my 100 per cent, whether it’s your work or relationship, all this has come from the upbringing my parents gave me.
I have so many fond memories with mom as a child. We all are Bollywood movie buffs, we used to watch movies together and she used to go to all my elocution competition with me. She has been a part of my journey throughout like from school to college days or in terms of starting my work, in theatre, she has accompanied me to every single show of mine. As we grew up we became friends and there has not been a single day when I didn't call up my mom. My gift for her is that I will pray for her good health. I want her to be healthy and do her own thing at 78 and be strong physically, emotionally and mentally. She is perfect and I just want to be like her.

My mom has taught me to be positive in life and that after every rejection you should understand that there is something better coming in your life and never give up on your dreams. This and every Mother’s Day I tell her that I love her a lot, but this year I will also promise to give more of my time to her. My fondest memory is not a good one but it was when my mom used to drop me back to my hostel and she used to cry while leaving me. It was so sad and I used to get to see her just 4-5 times in a year and that too for a day or two. As a gift, I promise to give her a house within next year.

No beauty can match a mother's. She's the epitome of grace, strength and unconditional love. Happy Mother's Day to my mother and all the mothers who dream big only for their kids. Let’s shower our mothers with unconditional love, like they have been selflessly doing so, all these years!

My mother is my everything, she matters the most to me, so Mother's Day is really special for me and I try making it exceptional for her every year. I have a lot of memories with my mom, in fact, I remember whenever I used to be mischievous, she used to make me sit in front of the temple and say sorry as she is quite spiritual. In some way or the other, she really taught me some valuable life lessons. I also remember how she used to make my tiffin, even after I grew older. I have been a foodie all my life and I used to love my mother's dishes. But if someone even joked about me eating so much, my mom would scold them and tell them, ‘let him eat how much he wants to, what is your problem?' I cherish all these memories that I share with her and to be honest, I've actually stayed away from my mother a lot, be it for studies or shooting. So, I miss having her around and I value her more than anything in this world as she has supported me in all the phases of my life. I would really like to wish her and every mom out there a very Happy Mother's Day.

Mother's Day is really special for me as I've always been very close to my mom. I feel she has been the Wonder Woman of my life, the strong figure who cares for and defends her family always. She is one of the strongest women that I know, and I love her for whatever she has done for our family and me. I must say that wherever I am today, it is because of her. She has always supported me in any and everything that I take up. My mom has always motivated me and whenever I was low and thought about quitting, she has been my pillar of strength to get back up and start over again. She has made many sacrifices all her life and now, I just want her to relax and have a great and happy life. On this Mother's Day, I might not be able to go and meet her, but I will be connecting with her virtually, spending time with her and making her laugh and smile. Spreading joy during such a time, especially in your family, is really important. So, I'd request everyone to give their mom some time this Mother's Day and make them smile a bit.

My mom is more like an elder sister in my life, we go shopping together and we share our deepest and darkest secrets also with each other. Every moment spent with her is the most amazing and while there are several memories that I can recall, the most special one is making samosas with her and having them at 6 am in the morning. We had spent the entire night before watching the series and chit-chatting, just before hitting the bed we felt a sudden pang of hunger and decided that we wanted to gorge on Samosas. I have learnt almost everything from my mother but the one lesson that has really helped me in my life is that whenever a problem arrives, do not crib or cry over it. Instead, find a solution and try getting over it as soon as possible. My mom has taught me to be super optimistic even when I am facing a bad time in life. She always told me that this time is here only to teach you something and that there is always something better waiting after that. This is the only life funda that I always follow and all the credit for that goes to my mom. Every Mother’s Day I usually get my mom some of her favourite gifts and take her out for a yummy lunch, but keeping the current pandemic in mind, our celebrations are going to be a little subtle this year. However, it is still going to be a fun one and I can’t wait to spend another Mother’s Day with her.
