Vikram Dwivedi, aka Vishambhar Singh from Bheema, shares, 'My mother has been the emotional anchor of our family. She taught me the power of patience and the strength of silence. I have seen her manage the trickiest situations with unwavering grace and compassion. One lesson that always stayed with me is that kindness never goes out of style. Her humility and grounded nature have deeply influenced me, both as a person and as an actor.
Even today, before any major shoot or audition, I remember her words, 'Do your best and leave the rest to destiny.' This Mother's Day, I am planning a surprise visit to my hometown just to spend the day with her because sometimes, presence is the best present.'
Geetanjali Mishra, aka Rajesh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, shares, 'My mother is my first teacher and forever guide. From her, I learned resilience and the importance of staying strong no matter what life throws your way.
She taught me to believe in myself, especially during times when I doubted my abilities. One of her favourite lines was, 'When you feel like quitting, remember why you started.' That has stayed with me through every high and low.
Her ability to manage home, relationships, and her own identity has always amazed me. This Mother's Day, I will be dedicating a day to pamper her; she deserves every bit of love and more!'
Shubhangi Atre, aka Angoori Bhabi from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, 'A mother's love is the most selfless and pure form of love, and I have been lucky to experience that in abundance. My mother always encouraged me to dream big but stay humble. Her life is a masterclass in balancing discipline with warmth. Even today, her voice in my head reminds me to stay grounded and grateful. The most beautiful lesson she taught me is that success means nothing if you lose yourself in the process.
I try to be that same pillar of support and joy for my daughter. On this special day, I wish all mothers, including myself (smiles), an incredibly Happy Mother's Day!'
