"As a grandmother she's extremely sweet. She breaks the rules we set up for our kids. With her around, they do all the things they're not supposed to do. My daughters raid her dressing table. Nani lets them use her lipstick, her make-up, wear her shoes… I don't deprive the children of screen time but there's a limit. But with Nani they keep on playing games."
Happy Pongal to Hema Malini and her family!
