Child actor-turned-rising heroine in the Hindi television industry, Roshni Walia, recently shared deeply emotional insights into her personal life during a podcast interview. Behind every word she spoke were the extraordinary sacrifices of a devoted mother whose strength and determination shaped her journey.
Having spent much of her childhood on film and television sets, Roshni shared how the experience matured her quickly. 'Working with adults from such a young age taught me a lot about life. I learnt the industry's politics quite early. It was a very unique experience.'
Although known for being serious and focused, Roshni responded playfully when asked about her mother's rules. 'I'm growing up properly thanks to my mum, she gives me both freedom and guidance. Her rules don't feel like pressure to me... they feel trendy!' she laughed.
Her humorous take on parental restrictions struck a chord online, with many people discussing her comments. Her words highlighted her mother's progressive parenting style, particularly rare for a girl raised in a middle-class family, blending freedom and support in an honest, natural way. 'My mum always encourages me,' Roshni said. 'She always reminds me that protection is important. She used to tell my sister the same thing. Now, she's telling me.'
In a tone both playful and touching, she recalled her mum urging her to enjoy life: 'Why are you staying in tonight? Go out to a party and have fun! Didn't you have a drink today?' she quoted her with a smile.
Such candid remarks from Roshni, especially about her mother's modern, open-minded parenting, have sparked conversations online. Listeners were surprised and impressed by how far removed her mum is from the typical image of a strict, middle-class parent. Comments such as 'Modern mummy', 'Very open-minded' and 'A true example of freedom' have flooded social media. Roshni's reflections have left many parents and listeners thinking more deeply about how traditional parenting can evolve with time.
