Mother's Day: Television stars' personal messages to their moms

Jigyasa Singh who plays Heer in Shakti- Astitva Ke Ehsaas Kii:

"This mother's day will be different from every year. Every year, either I used to be busy at work or me and my mom used to go out for dinner and some shopping. But this time, we are home and we will celebrate it with our entire family. Ever since I have started working, I hardly got to spend quality time with my mother. Thanks to the lockdown this time, we got an opportunity to be together at home."

Puneett aka Arjun from Naati Pinky Ki Lambi Love Story

"Mothers are God's most precious gift to us. They are the ones who gave us our gift of life. This Mother's Day, I want to specially thank my mother and all the mothers out there and appreciate them for being our truest supporters. They are the real super heros of our lives. I consider myself lucky that my mother is with me at the moment. I plan to cook something special for my mother and pamper her with movies, music, fun and everything that makes her happy. We are going to have a great time this Mother's Day together."

Namish Taneja as Vivek Vardhan Singh of Vidya:

"Even the thought of living without my mother makes me feel incomplete. I will always be grateful that I got the chance to spend the entire lockdown phase with her, since I do not get much time to spend with her because of my hectic schedule. She does so much for me that I wish I could do something special for her every day, and not just on Mother's Day. Luckily, this time I will be at home and I will make sure that I make this day as special as I can for her. I also plan to cook something very special for her."

Anita Raj as Kulwant Kaur from Choti Sarrdaarni:

"As a mother, this day is very special to me. However, my kids make me feel like every day is Mother's Day. This year, they won't be able to do much because of the locked, but I think they have already planned something for me. They have requested me to keep myself available for some time on Sunday. Just like last year, I am expecting lots of fun with my kids."

"My mother has been my constant support system. She's a strong person and has always made sure I be brave and strong. Whatever you choose to do in life make sure you are good at it and I follow it even today. She is a working woman who happens to be a wonderful homemaker as well. In fact, I have inherited her cooking skills too, but still, she is the best! I love her optimism and never have I ever seen her spirit go low! 'Put that smile on and seize the day,' is what she believes as being raised by a woman like her is the best thing to happen to me. Whatever I am today I owe it to my mother."

"We all have various gods and faiths and we believe in the creator above. I have only heard and read about god and his ways, but the fact is that my mom is the first god I knew. When we were kids, we were always being told that when we grow up and become parents is when we will realise how they felt and what they went through. This couldn't have been truer as becoming a parent has made me understand them better now. In fact, I believe that there is no one on earth who loves as selflessly as a mother and lucky are those who have her and get all her love. I lost my mother 7 years back and not a day goes by where I don't think of her. I really wish I could turn back the clock and make up for all the lost time with her, apologise for all the troubles I gave her. To be honest, she was an excellent cook and I miss Maa ke haath ka khaana the most, nobody can come close and I can never have that pleasure anymore."

Himani Shivpuri said that her mother was her friend and a partner, and she misses her a lot. "I played a lot of roles in my mother's life. I was her driver when she wanted to go to places, her cook when she was unwell but, one role that remained unchanged is that of a friend. She was my only best friend with whom I would share every single secret of my life. We often travelled together, went on shopping sprees, had movie marathons, went for walks too and now that she's not here, I really miss her," said Himani.

Kamna Pathak, the Dabbang Rajesh of &TV's Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, comes across as a strong woman but deep inside she is very emotional when it comes to her mother. Talking about their relationship, Kamna shared: "My mother is my best friend and I share each and everything with her. It has always been this way because there is no one in the world who understands me better than her. Since childhood, me and my mother have been singing folk songs together and this has made our bond even more special. I still remember, once during Shivratri, me and my mother sang bhajans the entire night and there was a different kind of positivity and energy which kept us going. This is by far the best memorable moment I've got to experience with her till date."

Talking about a very important life lesson that her BFF mother taught her very recently, Sarika Bahroliya from Gudiya Humari Sabhi Pe Bhari, shared: "Our friends play an important part in our lives by enriching and encouraging us to do better. One incident so happened that while I was rehearsing for my role of Gudiya, I took time perfecting my skill and I was losing my confidence. It was my mother who made me realise that with practice anything can be mastered. This gave me immense support and will-power to do better, just like a friend would give us boost when we feel low sometimes."

Santoshi Maa Sunaye Vrat Kathayein actor Ashish Kadian went back to his childhood days on Mother's Day on Sunday. "In my early childhood my mother would ask us to take afternoon naps and that would be the most boring part of the day for me and my brother. One afternoon we sneaked out to the other room to play and this happened for a few days until our mother caught us. We were so scared of being scolded but she instead, started playing with us. That was when I realised that my mother was my friend. Since then she has been participating in all the major decisions of my life and supporting me through my tough times like a loyal BFF would," he said.
