A mother can be a very good friend to her child if she chooses to be. And yes Padmini is a good friend, and guide to Madhubala...Someone who does not hang onto the past but believes in looking forward.
I'm happy she good and positive in that respect instead of the mothers who instigate the negative side of their daughters.
nice post rene ... agree with u ... parents become friends after a certain age group that we share every thing with them ... nothing is hidden from them ...
