Happy Mother’s Day: Top quotes from Bollywood mothers which will always remain fresh

 Few films can match the mother-son bond as beautifully as Deewar did. Deewar brought to life the nature of this special bond. As a mother, Nirupa displayed myriad feelings of pain, longing and love for a son who turns a gangster. But her character isn’t blinded by wrong and she gives us this iconic line – “Tu abhi itna bhi ameer nahi hua, ki apni maa ko khareed sake.”

Rakhee Gulzar (Karan Arjun)

Rakhee Gulzar played onscreen mother to actors Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in Karan Arjun. The character of Rakhee believed that her sons will return to her even after she witnesses their murder. ‘Mere Karan Arjun aayenge’ became a cult dialogue over the years inspiring loads of memes and caricatures.

Kirron Kher (Dostana)

 Kirron Kher brought a sense of much-needed levity into her character in Dostana. Her sense of humour is spot on as she finds that her only son is a gay.

Farida Jalal (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge)
