'Having a mother is even better than having a superhero'. These words couldn't be truer. 'Mother'. That one word holds so many facets within itself, a few of them being 'a true friend', 'a guide', and 'an inspiration'. In this month of Mothers Day celebrations, BollyCurry brings to you the divine mothers who have made what today we know as the superstars of Bollywood.

Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapur and Babita Kapoor

This mother isn't anything short of a legend! By breaking all traditions of the Kapoor family she constantly supported her daughters who became the first women in the family to join Film City. Karisma Kapoor being the oldest daughter, ventured out and carved a niche for herself in the film fraternity and following behind her was Kareena Kapoor, the younger one, who did the same for herself. While Karisma married an industrialist and now has a daughter and a son, Kareena went on to marry Saif Ali Khan, and is now also a step-mother to his children. An inspiration for them, their mother Babita, starred in movies such as Aulad, Raaz and Dus Lakh. This mother-daughter trio is one of a kind because they are away from the cameras yet are talked about the most!

Ranbir Kapoor and Neetu Singh

Ranbir had often asked his mother while he was younger whether his mother loved his older sister more to which Neetu would always say that she loves Riddhima just two years more than him. Now, isn't that just adorable? Neetu has always adored and stood by Ranbir Kapoor, be it his link-ups with actresses or break-ups, or the ups and downs in his career the mom has always been there for him. Ranbir Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor recently even performed at the 19th Colors Screen Awards 2013. Ranbir's latest movie Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is ready to be released as fans and critics wait anxiously for this movie. Ranbir Kapoor is proudly the daal chaawal type of a boy, who needs a girl in his life who can love him and respect his decisions, at least that's how his mother imagines the Kapoor bahu.

Abhishek Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan

While talking about supermoms, how can one forget Jaya Bachchan, who has always been the support system for her children, Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan-Nanda. The mother-son jodi first appeared on screen in a Bengali film, Desh, in 2002, with Jaya Bachchan playing the role of the mother of NRI son which was played by none other than Abhishek. Often, audiences confuse Laaga Chunari Main Daag as their first starred movie. Although, Abhishek's role in Desh was almost insignificant, it still counts as their first movie together. Abhishek Bachchan who is now a father of Aaradhya Bachchan understands the importance of parents and likes to spend as much time with family as possible.

Esha Deol and Hema Malini

The Dreamgirl of Bollywood, a.k.a Hema Malini is the proud mother of two daughters - Esha and Ahana Deol. The older of the two, Esha, recently got married to Bharat Takhtani and the media covered that event from all angles. Hema was seen around Esha at all times, present to make sure that her daughter was doing fine on her big day. Although the mother-daughter duo have appeared in adverts together, Esha and Hema, have yet to star together in a movie and the audience awaits their dance recital too.

Kajol Devgn, Tanisha Mukherjee and Tanuja

Kajol Devgn, a mother of two herself, is the next on this list of super kids, belonging to the super mom - Tanuja. Her parents had separated at a very young age but that did not affect Kajol or sister Tanisha Mukherjee in any way. Kajol was stubborn as well as an impulsive kid. Kajol and Tanisha had grown up in the diversity of two different cultures, Maharashtrian from Tanuja whereas, Bengali from the father. Tanuja, being an actress herself, understands her children extremely well and is the perfect support system. Kajol and Tanishaa too, spend time with their mother whenever possible, as seen in a recent award function where Tanuja received the Lifetime Achievement award.

While there are a lot more mother-children pairs in Bollywood, BollyCurry has chosen to dedicate a little to the super moms who have made their kids what they are today!

Do let us know who your favorite supermom is! And be sure to let your own mom, who is no less then a superwoman, know how much you love and appreciate her!
