One of the quintessential characters we see in Bollywood is that of a mother: she is loving, strong, doesn't hesitate to tread on moral ground and at times, melodramatic too. As the world celebrates Mother's Day this Sunday, Dhara Vora asked five Mumbaikars to pick their favourite on-screen mothers from Hindi cinema

Arjun Mogre, 24, Film Director
My pick >
Jaya Bachchan in several movies
Because....
Jaya Bachchan is my favourite because she doesn’t play the stereotypical Gajar Halwa-feeding mother, but someone who is strong. In Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (Nandini), I liked that her sons could confide in her and she stands up against her husband.
