Diksha Dhami calls her mother her 'Guiding Light' during her Mother’s Day tribute As we get ready to celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday, actress Diksha Dhami, who plays Chaina in the show "Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain", reflected on just how deeply her mother has influenced her, both personally and professionally. “My mom has always been my biggest strength and guiding light,” Diksha shared. “She’s a folk singer and a writer, so I grew up surrounded by music, stories, and performance. But more than anything, she taught me to believe in myself and follow my passion.” One of her fondest memories? Her first break in the television world. “I still remember when I got my first role in a TV show—she was the happiest person in the room, cheering louder than anyone else. And you know what? She was also the one who recorded my first audition tape. She believed in me even before I believed in myself.” Even now, Diksha’s mother continues to be her constant supporter. “She watches every single episode of 'Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain' without fail. She’s my biggest fan and my most honest critic. She gets so involved in the story that when someone taunts me in the show for being abandoned by my reel mother, she actually gets upset! She hugs me and says - Main toh tujhse kabhi door nahi reh sakti, main toh tujhe hamesha itna hi pyaar karti rahungi.” And sometimes, she even has life advice to offer based on the show. “She often says - I wish Diksha learns a few things from Chaina—how she balances emotions, responsibilities, and relationships so gracefully." Talking about her bond with her mother, Diksha shared, “She’s taught me never to hurt anyone—intentionally or unintentionally—and to help anyone I can. I’ve learned so much from her, and I wish I could be as calm and patient as she is.” On this Mother’s Day, Diksha shared a simple yet meaningful message for her mother, saying, “Thank you, Mom—for being my first teacher, my loudest cheerleader, and my forever safe place. Your love and support mean everything to me. Love you always.” This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

10 May,2025 07:02 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSBecoming a mom isn’t a one-time job, it’s a continuous journey. Balancing motherhood with a career is challenging, especially when you're a content creator. Rohini Deepti Natti, who enjoys a following of 322K on Instagram, is a momfluencer known for her creativity and love for cooking. She whips up dishes so appealing that even adults can’t resist them. In a Mother’s Day special interview with Mid-day, Rohini opened up about her challenges, the roadblocks along the way, and what keeps her going. There has to be some motivation behind everything. It’s never just about doing things without a reason, and when it comes to presenting food in a playful way, like turning it into cartoons, you definitely need some inspiration. For Rohini, it all started with a surprise that turned into a daily ritual. One day, she presented a meal shaped like a sea creature, and it changed everything. The social media star shared, “The pure joy and wonder that lit up Adi's (her son) face, that moment was priceless, and just like that, my creative journey with food art was born.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rohini Deepthi Natti | The Idli Mama (@rohinis.kitki) Since this was a Mother’s Day special chat, we couldn’t resist asking one of the most creative social media stars what she’d serve on a “Mother’s Day Thali.” Rohini was quick to reply: “A warm idli carved into a mom chef.” For Rohini, creating fun and interesting dishes is no longer just a hobby, it’s how she approaches life. So, how does she come up with ideas that make even the mundane parts of motherhood entertaining? “My son Adi's excitement and involvement keep our kitchen time fresh,” she said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rohini Deepthi Natti | The Idli Mama (@rohinis.kitki) Keeping up with algorithms, posting hours, and maintaining follower engagement, all while ensuring she doesn’t miss out on quality time with her son, can be tricky. But Rohini has found her middle ground. She now focuses on creating a natural balance by involving her son in her creative process. “These moments double as our special bonding time while he picks up valuable skills along the way. Win-win for both of us!” she shared. The pressure to be perfect is something many moms grapple with. When asked what advice she’d give her fellow moms, Rohini thoughtfully said, “Make choices that allow you to enjoy quality time with your kids. Whether you cook, hire a chef, or order in, what matters most is that you're creating happy moments together.”
10 May,2025 02:09 PM IST | Mumbai | Shachi ChaturvediOver the past few years, several leading ladies of Bollywood have embraced motherhood with grace and glamour. These new moms are redefining what it means to balance stardom and swaddles. They may have stepped away from red carpets, but the spotlight followed them into playrooms and nurseries. From Instagram announcements and first birthdays to post-pregnancy comebacks, these Bollywood stars can't help but talk about their new bundles of joy. Let’s take a closer look at Bollywood’s newest moms and their adorable little ones. Bipasha Basu First an Indian model and then an actress, she is popularly known for her leading role in Raaz (2002)—her debut in horror films. Bipasha married Karan Singh Grover, and the couple welcomed their first child, Devi Basu Singh Grover, on November 12, 2022. Their daughter takes after both her parents and is often seen on Bipasha’s social media. Alia Bhatt One of today’s most celebrated Bollywood actors, announced her pregnancy on Instagram in June 2022 with the caption, "Our baby… coming soon." Shortly after her marriage to Ranbir Kapoor, the couple was blessed with a daughter, Raha, on November 26, 2022. When Raha turned one, her parents made a rare public appearance with her, dressed in red and green for the Kapoor Christmas brunch in 2023. Her adorable interaction with the paparazzi won hearts nationwide. Anushka Sharma One of Bollywood’s most versatile actors, welcomed her second child in February 2024—this time, a baby boy. Anushka and Virat Kohli shared the happy news on Instagram, introducing their son Akaay (meaning "immortal" or "one with limitless power" in Sanskrit). The couple now has two children: Vamika and Akaay. Yami Gautam The actress married Indian filmmaker Aditya Dhar in 2021. The couple had previously worked together on the box-office hit Uri: The Surgical Strike. Yami has delivered several successful films, including OMG 2 (2023), Kaabil (2017), and her debut Vicky Donor (2012). The couple welcomed their son, Vedavid, in May 2024. Yami has kept her personal life very private and has not yet shared a picture of her son. She embraces a strong, protective motherhood, shielding her child from the toxic side of the internet. Alanna Panday The daughter of Deanne and Chikki Panday and cousin to Ananya Panday, shared her pregnancy news in 2024 with the heartwarming caption, "We love you so much already, we can’t wait to meet you." Alanna and her husband Ivor welcomed their son, Edward Ivor River McCray VI, lovingly called River. Their mother-son moments on social media are heart-melting. Richa Chadha She married her Fukrey (2013) co-star, Ali Fazal, in 2020 under the Special Marriage Act during the COVID-19 pandemic. They celebrated their union with family in 2022 and were blessed with a daughter, Zuneyra Ida Fazal, on July 16, 2024. Like many Bollywood couples, they have chosen to keep their daughter’s face private for now. As Richa beautifully puts it, every parent wishes to keep their child close before they step out into the world. Masaba Gupta Masaba had an intimate wedding with Satyadeep Misra in January 2023. The couple welcomed their daughter, Matara (a name inspired by the divine energies of nine Hindu goddesses), on October 11, 2024. Deepika Padukone One of Bollywood's finest actors, gave birth to her first child with husband Ranveer Singh in September 2024. This pregnancy was one of the most anticipated in the industry, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Dua. They announced her name with a touching message: "Because She is the Answer to our Prayers. Our hearts are filled with Love & Gratitude." Natasha Dalal Wife of Varun Dhawan, announced her pregnancy in February 2024 with the caption, "We are pregnant. Need all your blessings and love." Varun is now a proud father to their daughter, Lara Dhawan. The couple has yet to share pictures of their beloved daughter online, but fans and well-wishers continue to celebrate this new chapter in their lives.
09 May,2025 10:23 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentPrioritizing family over fame is a bold decision that many Bollywood actresses have made over the years. For these stars, stepping away from the arc lights to embrace motherhood didn’t mean saying goodbye to their careers—just the beginning of a new chapter. It may seem like the "easier choice," but it is not. Leaving the silver screen, especially at the peak of one’s career, takes immense strength, clarity, and conviction. These mothers have shown through their actions that motherhood isn’t a detour but a vital milestone that reflects growth beyond the spotlight. They understand the importance of spending time with their little ones during their early, crucial years. Mid-day celebrates these heroic mothers on the forthcoming special occasion of Mother’s Day, honouring their journey, the choices they made, and the legacy they continue to build—gracefully and with intent: Bhagyashree Dassani Bhagyashree Dassani, known for her role in Maine Pyar Kiya opposite Salman Khan, took a long sabbatical from the movie industry. At the height of her fame, the actress chose to marry Himalaya Dassani in 1990. The couple was later blessed with two children—Abhimanyu and Avantika. In an interview, Bhagyashree shared that a child needs their mother more than anyone else during their early years. She acknowledged her young age and made the decision to prioritize her responsibilities. However, as her children grew into independent adults, Bhagyashree made a comeback in films like Radhe Shyam (2023) and later in Chhatrapati (2024). Meenakshi Seshadri The 1980s actress starred opposite Amitabh Bachchan, Sunny Deol, and the late Rishi Kapoor in Shahenshah, Ghayal, and Damini, respectively. After leaving a lasting impact with her performances, Meenakshi took a 28-year hiatus from the industry following Ghatak/Lethal (1996). A year earlier, she had married Harish Mysore, a non-industry professional, and the couple relocated to the U.S. Her on-screen return in Ghayal Once Again (2016) was one of the film’s most awaited moments. Her journey highlights her choice of personal and mental well-being over a thriving career, underlining the diverse roles women embrace throughout life. Ayesha Takia A 2000s sensation, Ayesha Takia placed family and motherhood above her passion for acting. Known for her roles in Dor (2006) and Wanted (2009), she married Farhan Azmi and soon stepped away from the limelight. In 2013, she gave birth to their son, Mikail. Since then, Ayesha has not returned to films full-time. In an interview, she mentioned never regretting her decision to take a break from Bollywood, expressing her joy in being a mother and prioritizing family. Asin Thottumkal Asin delivered major hits such as Ghajini (2008), Ready (2011), Housefull 2 (2012), Bol Bachchan (2012), and Khiladi 786 (2012). Fluent in multiple languages, she was acclaimed in both Bollywood and regional cinema. Following her marriage to Rahul Sharma in 2016, Asin retired from acting and embraced a quiet, private life. In 2017, she became a mother to a daughter, Arin. Madhuri Dixit The iconic Bollywood queen Madhuri Dixit made a pivotal decision at the peak of her career—she married Dr. Shriram Nene and moved to the U.S. Having delivered countless blockbusters, she later became a mother to two sons, Arin and Ryan. Madhuri openly stated, “I chose to go away. I chose to get married. I chose to have kids. I did what I wanted to do. We all have our own dreams, and having a family was a big part of mine.” After a decade-long break, she returned to India and resumed her career, making a grand comeback with Aaja Nachle (2007). Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, one of Bollywood’s most celebrated actresses, took a five-year hiatus following the birth of her daughter, Aaradhya, in 2011. During her break, Aishwarya remained a devoted mother, often seen at events with Aaradhya by her side. Their strong mother-daughter bond continues to this day, with the two frequently appearing together in public. Aishwarya returned to the big screen in Jazbaa (2015), portraying a lawyer forced to defend a criminal to save her kidnapped daughter—an emotionally resonant role. She became selective of the films she signed and opted be part of meaningful films as she significantly reduced number of films she did. Anushka Sharma Anushka Sharma, known for her powerful performances in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008), Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016), Pari (2018), and more, chose to step back from acting and her production company Clean Slate Filmz in 2022 to focus on her personal life. She was last seen in the film Zero in 2018. In an interview, she confessed she was no longer driven to make films for fame, but rather to spend meaningful time with her family—husband Virat Kohli and their two children, Vamika and Akaay.
09 May,2025 08:24 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentMothers, by nature, are known to worry about their children. No matter how old you get, a mother will always see her child as a baby—caring for them, supporting them, and standing by like a strong pillar. Many successful Bollywood actresses today credit their mothers for being this pillar of strength—guiding them through their careers and helping them juggle their multi-tasking lives. Ahead of Mother’s Day, we take a look at some of the most well-known mother-daughter duos in Bollywood and how these moms played the role of the perfect "momager": Rekha and her mother Pushpavalli It all began in the now-trending 70s era, when Rekha emerged as Bollywood’s newest sensation. Her mother, Pushpavalli, played a dominant role in shaping her acting career. Rekha revealed in an interview that becoming a film star was never her personal aspiration, hinting that her stardom was perhaps a reflection of Pushpavalli’s unfulfilled dreams—a redemptive attempt to live out her own Bollywood ambitions through her daughter.Today, Rekha is one of the few celebrated artists from the 1970s, and much of her legendary status is credited to her mother’s foresight and fierce ambition. Neetu Kapoor and her mother Rajee Singh Not many know that Neetu Kapoor started facing the camera as a child artist in the 1970s. But one person who always saw her as a gem was her mother, Rajee Singh. With unwavering support and ironclad belief, Rajee stood by Neetu through every stage of her journey—from her childhood roles to her transition into a young leading actress. She was the quiet force behind the rising star. Sridevi and her mother Rajeshwari Yanger The queen of the 90s, Sridevi, delivered hit after hit, cementing her place among Bollywood’s finest. Behind her glittering journey stood her beloved mother, Rajeshwari Yanger. Deeply involved and meticulously invested in every step of Sridevi’s career, Rajeshwari played a pivotal role. Sridevi often obeyed her mother's wishes—even turning down films to take on a Malayalam movie simply because her mother wanted her to. This dedication speaks volumes about the deep bond they shared. Babita Kapoor and her daughters, Kareena and Karisma Karisma and Kareena Kapoor, daughters of former actor Babita Kapoor, have always credited their mother for the successful acting careers they enjoy today. As revealed in Babita’s biography, she ended her own acting career after marrying Randhir Kapoor. Despite facing resistance from Randhir about their daughters entering the industry, Babita stood tall and unwavering. Like Kris Jenner, she backed her daughters single-handedly—from auditions to movie signings, becoming the ultimate momager. Hema Malini and her daughter Esha Deol In the 2000s, Hema Malini, Bollywood’s original ‘Dream Girl,’ helped shape her daughter Esha Deol’s career in the film industry. With her mother’s guidance and warmth, showbiz never felt unfamiliar to Esha. She followed her mother’s footsteps and wisdom, navigating the industry with grace and support. Priyanka Chopra and her mother Dr. Madhu Chopra Priyanka Chopra often speaks about her mother’s pivotal role in building the global career she enjoys today. Dr. Madhu Chopra was the ultimate momager—scheduling meetings, handling finances, and representing her daughter across platforms. Priyanka often praises her mother’s ability to balance work and family, saying it inspires her own journey as a mother today. Sara Ali Khan and Amrita Singh Sara Ali Khan shares an unbreakable bond with her mother, Amrita Singh—one that blends friendship with guidance. Sara has admitted that she made it through her early acting years solely because of her mother’s belief in her. Amrita has been her rock—always present, always honest, and always supportive. Ananya Panday and Bhavana Pandey Netflix’s The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives gave us a peek into the personality behind Ananya Panday—her mother, Bhavana Pandey. Poised, witty, and wise, Bhavana has passed down her values and strength to Ananya. As a momager, she’s been Ananya’s constant source of moral and emotional support through the highs and lows of Bollywood stardom. Raveena Tandon and Rasha Thadani One of the newest power duos in Bollywood, Raveena Tandon and daughter Rasha Thadani share a warm, evolving bond. In a recent Filmfare interview, Rasha referred to her mother as her best friend. From school drama to career choices, Raveena has been there through it all—proving once again that behind every rising star is a mother cheering the loudest.

26 April,2025 08:31 AM IST | Mumbai | ANIHaving a baby and deciding the age at which to do so is absolutely a personal choice. Sometimes, the biological clock doesn't allow for natural pregnancy, and during such times, one can always look up to technology. This is what several celebrities have inspired their fans to consider. From Farah Khan to TV stars Mahhi Vij and Debina Bonnerjee, and business tycoon Isha Ambani—this Mother's Day, here's a look at four public figures who opted for IVF to embrace motherhood. Celebs who opted for IVF Mahhi Vij Mahhi Vij has always been open about her IVF journey. The actress has freely talked about going through three failed cycles.

The ace filmmaker, who is a mother of triplets, has quite openly shared her journey. In one of her interviews, Farah mentioned how her gynaecologist told her to start the process immediately when she went in for IVF. The filmmaker said, "My gynaecologist told me, ‘You have to start today, aap already 2 saal late aa rahe ho mere paas.’ Toh that time I was 42 already, so waha se phir humne IVF ki journey shuru ki." (She said, ‘You have to start today, you are already 2 years late.’ So that time I was 42 already, and that’s when we began our IVF journey.) Debina Bonnerjee Debina Bonnerjee's IVF journey is known to almost all her fans. The actress, who is quite active on social media, keeps her followers informed about her life through vlogs.

She also spoke about the need to normalize it, saying, “I’m very quick to say that my twins were conceived via IVF because that’s how we’ll normalize it, right?” "Nobody should feel isolated or ashamed. It’s a difficult process. When you’re going through it, you’re physically exhausted,” the Ambani heiress added.

They really love me because they kind of respect that, and they know how Adi (Aditya Chopra) is and it was our decision together that we didn’t want Adira to get photographed.
