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.
