“My mother has taught me so many things from when I was young, as all mothers do, but standing up for yourself is something she taught me when I was very young, and I’m trying to definitely teach my daughter to do that,” Priyanka shared, adding, “I don’t know how we’re celebrating, but just being together, honestly, we don’t have any special plans because it is about the moms being celebrated, but I have special plans for my mom and my mother-in-law and a lot of amazing mother figures in my life.”
