TV actors talk abput their mothers on Mother's Day...

"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe it to my mother. Even though I am not a mother in real life, my on-screen character of Anandi in Balika Vadhu has made me experience the beautiful feeling of mother-hood and I have to admit, it's not easy at all. In-fact I have much more respect for my mother than ever before as bringing up a child in a certain manner really requires a lot of compassion, self-sacrifice and generosity and only a mother figure can do this beautifully."

My mother's teachings are my most priceless possessions and I can't imagine my life without her. Whatever good has ever happened to me I feel is only because of my mother's blessings. I want to thank her because she is the reason behind every good deed that I have done in my life. In-fact I am extremely attached to her and share everything about my life with her. She is one of the strongest women I have come across and I have so much to look up-to and learn from her. She means the world to me and I wish and pray for her peace and happiness not just on this special day but every-day of my life.

"As they say a God could not be everywhere which is why he made mothers. This saying holds a special place in my life as my mother is everything to me- she is my greatest strength as well as my biggest weakness. My mother has dealt with me with so much of patience and helped me face every situation in the best possible way. It is only because of her unconditional support that I have achieved success in my life."

"My mother has played a pivotal role in my life as she is the one behind all the values and ethics that empower me. She has brought me and my sister up in a way so that we can face our successes as well as our failures with our heads held high. This Mother's Day, I am planning to surprise my mother with a nice gift and also planning to cook her favorite cuisine to pamper her and make her feel like a queen."

"My sister and I always plan Mother's Day surprise together - something that I am missing this year because I am in Mumbai while they continue to live in Delhi. In fact, I used to take my mother to her favorite chhole bhature joint in Delhi. Though physically I won't be with her this time, I'll ensure that my sister takes her out. I'm also putting together a customized gift which will be delivered to her on the D-day. I have already instructed my sister to capture mom's reaction and send me a video so that I can live this beautiful moment with her despite being away from her."

"'The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world' - this sayingis the best wayfor me todescribe my mom. On everyMother'sDay,I bake aspecialcakefor mom and get her flowers because my mom loves flowers. Unfortunately,this year shewill be travelingd which is why I'll not be able to celebrate the day with her. But I will ensure that I spend some quality time with her once she is back and will be planning some surprises for her."

"Unlike previous years, this year I will be unable to visit my mom on Mother's Day because I will be shooting.I'm planning to send a bouquet to heralong witha gift which I am sure she is going to love. Staying away frommy mothermakes me realize how much I missnot onlyher andbut alsothescrumptiousfoodwhichshe cooks.My mother is very special to me and I believe every mother should be put on a pedestal for the brightness they bring to every child's life."
