There is so much that I learn from my son. He speaks like a wise old man at times and tells me ‘Mumma… I just love the feeling of love'. When you experience parenthood, it makes you look at the other side as well. The unconditional love I feel for my son, I can only imagine what my parents feel for me. And it has made me love and respects my parents more." (Also Read: Ananya Panday Praising Bestie, Suhana Khan For Editing Photoshoot Clips Is What BFF Goals Look Like)

In fact, even after my child was born, I was always divided between my personal and professional lives.” (Also Read: Rashami Desai's Mother Reveals Why She Changed Her Name From Shivani To Divya To Rashami)
