Pariva Pranati, who plays the role of a mother both on reel and in real life, discussed in a Mother’s Day special interview with mid-day.com how she dealt with postpartum depression, managing work after having a baby, dealing with mother’s guilt, and more.

Pariva started the conversation by sharing her idea of Mother’s Day and how her 7-year-old son surprises her. The actress said, “On Mother`s Day, I think the protocol should be about celebrating moms. Children should make plans, and in general, mothers should be made to feel special every day. So, that`s one thing. At home, my son, who is still young, surprises me with the cards he makes.”
