TV actors celebrate motherhood

From loving unconditionally to living life with positivity, this Mother’s Day, celebs from the television industry talk about the qualities they share with their mothers and their plans for the most important person in their lives.

Rupal Nand

My mum, Vishakha Nand, is one of the most special people in my life. Every year, I make it a point to celebrate Mother’s Day with sweets, gifts and handmade greeting cards. This year, I plan to take time out and surprise her. I look exactly like her and she is extremely proud of the fact that I have taken after her. She taught me how to find happiness in the smallest of events and live life peacefully.

Mothers are the only people who love you unconditionally and with no expectations. Simple love, care and gratitude can make her very happy. My mother, Seema Kasar loves to travel and taste food from different places. I think I have inherited the same thing. She likes to listen to music while doing her chores which is my habit too. She writes poems and articles which anyone can relate to and I too, have the same interest.

Ashutosh Kulkarni

Today, I have been able to successfully work in the industry because my mom trusted and supported me. My mom, Suniti Kulkarni taught me the precious virtue of patience. I am indebted to her for life because she has been so loving and caring throughout. I try my best to keep her happy in every possible way. Also, the dimples that people love about me are something I get from her.

Akshar Kothari

Ideally, we should be celebrating every day as Mother’s day because her dedication and love cannot be measured in a day. I developed a liking and interest in acting because of my mother, Jyoti Kothari. She worked in many plays before I was born and today she is reliving her theatre days through me. Her love is unmatchable and you can never pay her back for what she had done for you. I try my best to keep her happy in every possible way.

Ajinkya Raut

Ajinkya from Marathi serial Vithu Mauli with his mom Ujwala Raut

Honestly, I don’t believe in celebrating days but recently due to my hectic schedules I am on a lookout for such days. I am away from home so I have asked my sister to arrange for a surprise party for my mum. My mother, Ujwala Raut has some great qualities and to start with, I have eyes just like her. I have imbibed her way of being able to explain things in the shortest way possible. She has this knack of making a point with the least amount of words and I am glad that I have been able to imbibe this.
