This Mother’s Day, beloved actor Arjun Bijlani reflects on the profound influence of the two most important women in his life—his mother and his wife, Neha. For Arjun, the word “mother” goes far beyond a relationship; it’s an emotion, a shelter, and the foundation of who he is today.
“There is just not one day where we should thank mothers,” Arjun shares. “Thanking them should be a 365-days thing. Their love, sacrifices, and strength deserve our gratitude every single day.”
He adds “No matter what you achieve in life, no matter how far you go, you can’t truly be happy if you don’t have a mother’s hand on your head. That blessing—that touch—is what gives you the strength to keep going.”
Arjun’s bond with his mother is deeply rooted in love and respect. He often credits her for being both his guiding light and silent protector. “My mother is my biggest strength,” he says. “I’ve seen her rise above every difficulty to raise me alone after my father passed away. She never let me feel the void of his absence. Her blessings are my superpower.”
Opening up about a tough chapter earlier this year, Arjun shares, “My mom was unwell at the start of the year. She was in the ICU, and I was outside, praying helplessly. It was the most dreading, painful feeling I’ve ever experienced. In those moments, you realise how much of your world is tied to hers. It reminded me once again how invaluable a mother truly is.”
While he continues to draw strength from his own mother, Arjun also takes a moment to celebrate the woman who completes his home—his wife Neha. Watching her as a mother to their son Ayaan fills him with admiration and gratitude. “Seeing Neha as a mother has been a blessing in itself. The way she loves, nurtures, and stands by Ayaan—it’s beautiful. She’s such a wonderful mom, and kudos to her for being the heart of our home.”
As he speaks about the two pillars of his life, Arjun leaves us with a powerful message: “A mother’s love is divine. Whatever we do for them will never match what they’ve done for us. Every day is Mother’s Day in my book, and I’m forever grateful for the women who’ve shaped my life with their love.”
