Mumbai, May 7 (IANS) With Mother’s Day around the corner, Nia Sharma and Ankita Lokhande have spoken about their mothers and all the strength they derive from them.

Nia Sharma who is currently seen as a part of ‘Laughter Chefs Unlimited Entertainment’, shared, “My strength is a direct inheritance from my mother. I watched her navigate life with an incredible resilience that grew into the confidence I carry today.”

She added, “People see my spirit and recognize the security of having a woman behind me who always encouraged me to take up space. I have always felt that you don’t really need anything extravagant, just take your parents along and everything somehow becomes funnier and more special. I still laugh thinking about that one trip where we lost her on a hop-on hop-off bus, only to find her hours later sitting on the roof, chilling and capturing videos of the entire city while we were panicking and alerting everyone around. That’s just her, effortlessly turning chaos into a memory we will laugh about forever.”

She added, “This year felt even more special because I got to shoot with her on Laughter Chefs and we cooked an amazing meal together. Having her there, in my work world, sharing that moment with me, meant everything. No matter what I do, I know I can never match everything she’s done for me, but I’ll keep trying in the most honest way possible. Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there!”

Television superstar Ankita Lokhande who is seen in ‘Laughter Chefs Unlimited Entertainment’, shares, “Some blessings in life come doubled, and for me, that blessing is having two mothers to love, guide, and protect me.”

“One gave me life, and the other – my mother-in-law embraced me as her own, giving me strength, warmth, and another home filled with unconditional love. Every day, I feel incredibly grateful for both of them – their prayers are my biggest strength, and their happiness is all that matters to me. How wonderful it is to have had both my mother’s grace, Laughter Chefs, a show that is very close to my heart. Happy Mother’s Day to my two pillars of strength and all the mothers doing a fab job raising children!”

Mother’s Day falls on the 8th of May.
