Star kids on their famous moms!

Mother���s Day is here, so, we decided to speak to some celeb kiddies about their own definition of their moms. Strong, quick tempered, easy going, each have their identity carved out or so say the juniors...
Soha Ali Khan: (actress, daughter of Sharmila Tagore)
My mom has been like a pillar to us three children. She did some path breaking roles at a very young age, much ahead of her contemporaries and she as never regretted doing any one of them.She married young when she thought she wanted to get married. She pursued a flourishing career even as she had a family, but never made us an excuse. There was a lot that I didn���t understand because I wanted to do other things and not films. I never for instance understood the rigourous schedules, the frenzy, the hard work, everything was glamourous and filmi to me. However, it was only when I came into films that I understood the kind of discipline and self absorption required to be a successful actor.
My mother though a successful woman in her own way never tried to push my career. She���s been there when I need her, but never used her contacts to get me a plum career. And today I am happy she never did that, else I would never have I am felt as proud of my roles as I do now. She was apprehensive about my plunge into films like most parents are, but today she���s come around. And quite happy with what I am doing. I hope I can only take it forward from here.
Sanjay Dalal: (Author and Tarla Dalal���s son)
My mom has been the anchor in my life. No matter where I go, what I do, I always come back to her. She has been my best friend and also my biggest critic. My mother is the greatest cook in this world and I know she has overcome all obstacles in life to achieve what she has achieved today. She started off at a very small scale, cooking for friends and family and being happy doing that. But her talent was too much to be hidden for a long time.
It was me who encouraged her to take up cooking as a hobby on a large scale and go beyond known boundaries. She started small, but her hard work and determination finally paid off. She has stood by me like a rock. More like a best friend than a mother. She���s been my mentor, someone I know I can always fall back on when the going gets tough. She���s my mother, my friend.
Dhaval: (Shubha Mudgal���s son)
People think since both of us are into music, it must be easy for us to bond on common grounds. However, very few know that I am more into Blues and my mother is heavily inclined towards classical. But yes, that does give us a lot of dope to interact about and find out about each other. I know my mom is very passionate about her kind of music, but she���s never tried to force it on me. She has given me the space I needed to grow into my own skin and never for once tried to impose her identity on me.
In fact, I have never been overshadowed by her status. We share a very open relationship with each other. If she doesn���t understand my kind of music, she is very frank about it. If she doesn���t like something about it, she plainly says that she couldn���t connect with it and she���s encouraged me to do the same. Music does form a very strong bond in our lives, but over time we have created our own space and learnt from each other. My mother is my guide who I know she will be around even if she isn���t consciously there for me.
Ira Pande: (journalist and daughter of poet Shivangi)
I have discovered my mother through her writings. In our day to day upbringing she was just like any other mother. However, my real introduction happened with her only through the things she wrote about. Her writings reflected the woman she truly was - who was independent and always opinionated. I learnt about her as a wife, mother and a woman who was strongly influenced by her childhood. She wrote about her childhood days mostly, about her growing up years from which she heavily was inspired.
My mother was strong tempered and never allowed us to take a peek as to what was going on in her head. Through thick and thin, she made sure we had everything needed for a wholesome life. Even when we went our own ways, she stayed alone with a servant and refused to stay with us. She never wanted to give away her independence and never wanted to be a burden on another person. In her own way, she was a woman who thought ahead, yet never letting go of her traditions.
