She Gets It From Her Mama

Daughters are quite often a reflection of their mothers. They look up to them in most ways and aspire to be like them, too. Mothers, on the other hand, play the most important in moulding a daughter, with not just the right values but also support and strength.

With changing times, today’s mothers are more their daughters' friends than ever before - it truly is the only secret to a happy mother-daughter relationship. On the occasion of Mother’s Day, we found one such duo where you see a perfect balance between friendship and parenting. In conversation with the lovely actress Megha Akash and her mother Bindu, we learnt all about their bond. This tight-knit mama and daughter will inspire families everywhere to celebrate the women in their lives not just on Mother's Day, but every day.

Megha:

What is the one quality you’ve acquired from your mother?

The one quality that I think and hope that I have acquired from my mother is her kindness.

One thing about parenting, you’ve learnt from her and will implement with your kids?

I think the one thing I will implement with my kids is to try and be a friend to them. Just the way she is to me, because of which I feel like I can share anything with her. So, no matter how tough or hard a situation might be, I just know I have her and she’d understand me. Hopefully my kids feel the same way.

Is there anything you’d do differently while bringing up your kids?

No, I don’t think there is anything I’d like to do differently.

What is the one thing you two usually always disagree upon?

I don’t think there is anything major. The things we disagree upon would be sports as we always like different players or teams! But apart from that, there’s nothing major.

How do you two usually spend time together?
