Moms in movies have moved away from being the sad, weepy, widowed women. Today, they are strorng, confident women who go all out to show their love for their kids. Here are our favourites!
Sridevi in English Vinglish
“Family is the only one who will never laugh at your weaknesses. Family is the only place where you will always get love and respect.”
The climax leaves a lump in your throat. Shashi Godbole loves her children but equally values her self-respect.
Vidya Balan in Paa
“Just because you lent me your bloody sperms doesn’t make him your bloody son. Baap ka matlab sirf baccha paida karna nahin hota.”
Stinging words. We like!
Kajol in K3G, Fanaa, My Name Is Khan (MNIK)
Whether it is her native approach of bringing up her son with Indian values in London in K3G or nurturing her son single handedly as she’s abandoned by his father in Fanaa or avenging her son’s death in MNIK, Kajol tapped interesting shades as a mother. A super act for sure.
Kirron Kher in Dostana
Though the conventional Punjabi mother takes time to accept the fact that her son is gay, once she does, she does it wholeheartedly. She even accepts her son-in-law, John Abraham, and gifts him a khandaani kangan. A gay revolution indeed!
