Actor Sunny Deol never misses a chance to flaunt his love for his parents. As it's Mother's Day today, the 'Gadar' star took to Instagram and dropped a heartwarming video with his mom Prakash Kaur. In the clip, both Sunny and his mom showcased their playful bond as they could be seen throwing snow at each other. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sunny Deol (@iamsunnydeol) "I love you Maa. #happymothersday," Sunny captioned the post. This adorable video of Sunny with his mother left everyone in awe. Reacting to the post, Sunny's younger brother Bobby commented, "Love you Maa." "Cutest video," a fan commented. Veteran star Dharmendra married Prakash Kaur in 1953 when he was yet to make his Bollywood debut. Apart from Sunny and Bobby, Dharmendra also has daughters Vijeta and Ajeita with his first wife. However, while working in films, Dharamendra's closeness with the famous actress Hema Malini started growing and in 1980 the two tied the knot. Dharmendra and Hema Malini have daughters Esha and Ahana together. Meanwhile, on the work front, Sunny Deol is currently busy shooting for 'Lahore 1947', which is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. 'Lahore 1947', produced under Aamir Khan's banner, marks a significant collaboration between Sunny Deol and Aamir Khan's Productions. It also stars Preity Zinta, Karan Deol, Ali Fazal and Shabana Azmi. In the film, Sunny will share screen space with his son Karan Deol. On having Karan in the project, producer Aamir Khan said, "I am so happy that Karan Deol has tested so well for the extremely critical role of Javed. His natural innocence, his sincerity, and his honesty bring a lot to the table. Karan has really applied himself, worked hard, done workshops with ADISHAKTI, rehearsals with Raj, and is giving it his all. Javed is a great part, a very challenging part, and I am sure that with Raj Santoshi to direct him, Karan will nail it." Last year, Sunny and his Deol family witnessed a huge success. Dharmendra charmed audiences with his presence in Karan Johar's successful film 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani' while the triumph of 'Gadar 2' and the overwhelming response to 'Animal' mark a rejuvenation in the careers of Sunny and Bobby. "1960s se hum log limelight me hain, lekin kai sal hogaye, aise hi koshish kar rahe the (We have been in the limelight since the 60s but we have been trying for years) things were not working out." Speaking of the good times, Sunny said, "My son got married, then Gadar (2) was released, before that even dad's film got released (Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani) and we couldn't believe how we got so blessed," Sunny said on Kapil Sharma's Netflix show.

17 April,2025 03:21 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentOn the occasion of Mother's Day, Alia Bhatt took to Instagram to share a picture from their celebration of the day. Alia can be seen twinning in white with her husband Ranbir Kapoor and sister Shaheen Bhatt. Soni Razdan and Neetu Kapoor also twinned in white. However, Alia and Ranbir's daughter Raha was missing from the picture. Sharing the picture, Alia wrote, "precious moments with my precious ones" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Alia Bhatt 💛 (@aliaabhatt) Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot in April 2022. The couple welcomed their first child in the same year whom they named Raha Kapoor. Alia celebrated her second Mother's Day after the birth of her child. While announcing the arrival of their daughter, Alia took to social media and wrote, "And in the best news of our lives… Our baby is here, and what a magical girl she is. We are officially bursting with love - blessed and obsessed parents!!! Love love love - Alia and Ranbir." After their daughter turned a year older last year, the 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' actress spoke about her journey of parenthood while also reflecting on her privileged background which allows her to hire and seek help. "I steer away from giving parenting advice because I feel everybody’s journey is different. I come from a position of privilege where I can afford help if I am not available. My husband (Ranbir) and I, very early on, decided that either of us should be there, available for Raha at all times. So we are constantly splitting our roles. If I am travelling he’s home, if he’s travelling I am at home, just one of us should be with her at all times. If we cannot manage to schedule we have grandparents ready to kind of jump up and be happy helpers,” Alia said in an interview with CNBC TV18. Alia further spoke about the challenges of balancing responsibilities between her and Ranbir. She also said that she worried about making the right decisions for her daughter Raha. She said, “To be honest with you, the balance is never going to be easy. Women and men in our country have worked for years and have brought up kids, and kids have grown up and have become their own person. But, as a parent, as a mother, you are just always you are always worried and nervous whether you are making the right decision or not. I think the day I became a mother I opened up my life to worrying non-stop, so I am always worrying and I am just comfortable with worrying. All I can say is that I do my best and leave everything to the rest.” Alia Bhatt was last seen in the film 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' opposite Ranveer Singh. She also turned producer in 2022 with the film 'Darlings'. Recently, she turned executive producer for Richie Mehta's web series 'Poacher' which highlights the menace of elephant poaching in Kerala. The actress will next be seen in the film 'Jigra' directed by Vasan Bala. She has also been signed in for the YRF Spy Universe.

05 September,2024 02:54 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentActor Anushka Sharma returned to Mumbai for the first time after the birth of her and Virat Kohli's son Akaay. The family of four is currently living in London. The actress was in the city to attend an event for a brand that she endorses. At the event, the actress spoke about parenthood, how it has changed her and Virat's social life as well. She said that there is too much pressure to be a 'perfect parent' and she and cricketer-husband Virat Kohli are anything but that. Sharma shares two children, daughter Vamika (three) and six-month-old son Akaay with Kohli. Anushka Sharma on the pressures of parenting The 36-year-old actor said it's okay for parents to own up to their mistakes in front of children. "There's too much pressure to be, like, this perfect parent, and we are not perfect parents. Like, we will complain about things, and then it's okay to admit it to them (children). Just complain about it. That's my thing. So, they know that it will be all flawed. Imagine, kids having to live up to, like, 'Oh, my parents are like...' I feel like owning your mistakes in front of your kids," Sharma said at the event on Wednesday. It was the actor-producer's first media appearance after giving birth to Akaay on February 15 in London. Anushka and Virat cook for their kids Sharma said while she is a "chill" parent, she is particular about the routine of the children. "My kids, they have a lot of changes in their life. We travel a lot, so if I maintain the same routine for them, I'm giving them a sense of some sort of control in their own life. No matter where we are, we are teaching at that time better. So I think it really helps them regulate themselves better. So, eating times are fixed." The actor said she and Kohli recently realised the importance of introducing family recipes to their children. "We've started having this discussion at home that if we don't make the things our moms did, then we will not be passing on these recipes, you know? So sometimes I cook, sometimes my husband cooks, and we really do try to make the way our moms did, like out of memory. "I cheat a little bit, but it's so important because it's as important as giving them something from your wedding, which they will pass on to their kids. So I think it's sweet like that." Anushka advocates for leading with example Sharma believes gratitude can't be taught to children other than by leading life by example. "In my case, I have realised that my daughter is very young. And I don’t think I can teach her anything. It is how we lead our lives. Are we showing gratitude to others in our daily life? Are we grateful for the things we have in life? Are we showing that as an example? Do we think this is enough? I think she has picked up on that, I don’t think I can teach her anything. For them to learn gratitude, they have to see you being grateful. It is a very selfish space to say that ‘I’ll teach my child this and that’. You have to be grateful, your child will follow suit. You just have to enjoy their childhood. If you ever see them showing disrespect, they are not showing disrespect, they are just being kids and you can gently guide them. Living by example is the only way to make sure they soak the good things from the environment,” she concluded.
