A mother is the greatest gift a child can
ever get. The warmth and love she gives is a pure blessing. Be it in real
life or on the big screen, the relationship between a mother and child is
beautiful. And in the month dedicated to mothers, BollyCurry brings to you some
mother-children duos that touched our hearts; they made you cry, laugh and made
you appreciate your mother and children even more.

First in our list we have the troubled
relationship between the dyslexic child Ishaan played by Darsheel
Safary and his mother Maya who was portrayed by
Tisca Chopra. Ishaan
is suffering from dyslexia and is misunderstood by everyone, including
his family.
Maya gave up her career to teach her children, but as hard as
she tries she can't improve Ishaan's grades. Ishaan like any other child
only
wants love from his mother, but instead of getting that he is sent away
from
his loved ones. His relationship with his mother is a very sensitive
one, where Maya obviously
loves her son a lot but she can't reach him. Something that makes the
relation between his mother and
himself bitter.

Agneepath depicts the tale of an ideal mother Suhasini essayed by
Zarina Wahib, who will go to any length for her son Vijay Deenanath
Chauhan played by
Hrithik Roshan. Be it sacrifices,
prayers or if it means keeping him away from herself and his family. A
mother who loves her son a lot, but can't tolerate her son going to the
dark
side, even if it is to take revenge from his father's murderers. The
spent years
apart, but the love that a mother has for her son and vice versa is
still there
in their hearts. And in the end as Vijay breathes his last in his
mother's lap,
she forgives all his sins and embraces him as he slowly dies in her
arms. A
bond so strong that it can survive years of gap and still be alive after
death is truly praiseworthy.

Who can forget
the filmy but loving mother of Om Prakash Makhija played out by Shah Rukh
Khan. Kirron Kher played the role of a widowed Junior artist Bela
Makhija who loves her son
unconditionally. She inspires and encourages her son to do well and
achieve
something big in his life. Om loves the film actress Shanti Priya,
played by the debutant Deepika
Padukone and he dreams of becoming a superstar and marrying Shanti
Priya. His mother
Bela always supports his dreams and pushed him to fulfill them, even
knowing that it's a bit impossible. Just before climax, Om Prakash dies
while saving his
lady love, and returns as Om Kapoor in his next life as the son of a
famous producer. Even though
years have passed, Bela never gave up hope that her son will one day
return. A
mother's faith wins, and he returns and it doesn't take her a second to
recognize
her son. An everlasting and beautiful
relation of a mother and son.
Sridevi Kapoor portrayed the role of a homemaker Shashi who's independent,
intelligent
and loving. She has it all the only thing she lacks is the ability to
speak
English fluently. Something that becomes a barrier between her and her
daughter Sapna played by Navika Kotia. She tries to speak as much as she
can but when she can't get it
right her children make of her and embarrass her. At various events
Shashi
tries to speak, but ends up embarrassing her children over and over
again. She then gets an invite from her sister to visit her in USA to
help out with the preparations for her nieces wedding. Shashi has an
emotional breakdown on the last day just before leaving but that soon
becomes fruitful as she enrolls in an English speaking course, so she
won't be an
embarrassment for her children and so she can reconnect with them. She
finally
learns to speak English fluently and at her nieces wedding she holds an
emotional speech in English for her children,
where she explains that when a family member has a weak point, the other
family
members should support her. A mother who goes through great lengths to
bond
with her children, and have a healthy relation with them. Word!
Paa is a unique tale of an ill child and
his parents. Auro played brilliant by
Amitabh Bachchan has the rare disease Progeria, which
means
he grows faster physically than mentally. Auro has lived with his mother
all
his life, and the bond he shares with her is of a friend, who he can
play with,
talk to and love.
Vidya Balan plays the role of Auro's single-mother, Vidya, who loves him no matter what, and she
dies a
little every day to see her child suffer from this. She
loves him unconditionally, despite of the fact that Auro was made fun of. She sets an example as a mother, that it's
your child regardless of a disease or a syndrome, and you should love him because a child
is a blessing.The relationship is especially highlighted in the
end where Auro dies and his last words are
Maa and
Paa.
Dil
Kya Kare
A

relationship of two mother's and one
daughter. One on side Kavita depicted by
Mahima Chaudhry, a doting wife, and a loving
mother who loves her adopted daughter implicitly. They share a relation
that's above anything, she takes care of everything, and in return her daughter loves
her more than anything. The unique bond they share underlines the fact that
love goes beyond blood relations. A mother-daughter duo who have nothing in
common but love, but the bond they share is stronger than any other relation in
the world. On the other side a mother who is so unfortunate that she couldn't
even see her daughter's face after her delivery, but destiny brings her back to
her. And it is proven that you are connected through blood. As Neha played by Akshita Indalie Garud-Janos, gets
an instant liking of her biological mother, Nandita pictured by
Kajol Devgn. Even though
they meet after years, they need just a second to connect and form a bond. Two
relations, that are so different yet so beautiful in their own ways.
Here
are just a few yet dynamic mother-child duos. A mothers love is
incomparable and always pristine. Whereas, a child's role is not just to
respect the mother but also love them without any conditions.
BollyCurry brought to you some duos with some strong performances, and
everlasting memories of some the best mother-children ever seen
on-screen
.
These might not be the most famous duos, but they are definitely the most unique ones. We'd also like to know your favorites.
