Mom’s evergreen gyaan


TThe real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men - from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

On the occasion of Mothers’ Day, we asked our telly celebrities about that one useful piece of advice their mother gave them which they still follow. Here’s their say:

 
Apara Mehta: Being honest by all means is what I follow till date. From her I have also learnt the mantra of commitment. One has to be fully dedicated to whatever one does.
 
Hiten Tejwani: It has to be the advice to refrain from sweets. I still follow it; it has helped me to maintain myself. One has to restrain from some temptations for self-betterment.
 
Karan Oberoi: One advice of my mom that I follow religiously is that before being a good artist I need to be a good human being.


 
Rahil Azam: Don't have expectations from anyone in this world. This has become a golden rule for me which has helped me throughout.
 
Panchi Bora: My mother has always advised me to work hard to make my dreams turn into reality. I was a very talented kid but despite my mother telling me to join some classes I never did so as I was very lazy. But now that she sees me working hard, it brings pride to her. I still feel if I would have listened to her then, it would have helped me to do much better now. My mother has survived breast cancer. The fear of losing her has made me realise her importance. Now, I love and listen to her a lot more.
 
Aastha Chaudhary: My mother has taught me to stand for truth even if I am alone. I stick by her advice come what may. It does get tough at times but eventually pays off.
 

Varun Badola:
To be honest in all circumstances is what my mother has taught me. It is a great piece of advice that I follow till date.
