Pariva Pranati, who plays the role of a mother both on reel and in real life, discussed in a Mother’s Day special interview with mid-day.com how she dealt with postpartum depression, managing work after having a baby, dealing with mother’s guilt, and more.

Pariva started the conversation by sharing her idea of Mother’s Day and how her 7-year-old son surprises her. The actress said, “On Mother's Day, I think the protocol should be about celebrating moms. Children should make plans, and in general, mothers should be made to feel special every day. So, that's one thing. At home, my son, who is still young, surprises me with the cards he makes.”
