Mumbai, May 7 (NationPress) Actress Bhagyeshree asserts that the essence of being a good mother transcends mere protection; it involves fostering independence in children.
The star of 'Maine Pyar Kiya' shared a nostalgic photo featuring her son Abhimanyu and daughter Avantika on Instagram.
In a heartfelt message, she expressed her thoughts ahead of Mother's Day on May 11.
Bhagyeshree stated, "Embracing motherhood! Just one week until Mother's Day. At an event for young mothers, I shared insights I've gathered throughout my journey.
My children are my everything, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for them. However, if I did everything for them, I wouldn’t fulfill my role as a good mom. Children must learn to be independent, to navigate their mistakes, to stand tall after setbacks, to mature through challenges, and to assist those who are less fortunate."
Highlighting the importance of self-sufficiency, she added, "We can support them as they take their first steps, but eventually, we must let go so they can run freely. Love is not synonymous with need, and caring should not be mistaken for overprotection."
"In today’s world, which can be as harsh as a jungle, survival is paramount... and to thrive, your children must become their own 'Lion King,'" Bhagyeshree concluded.
The post included a video where she reaffirmed that her main objective as a mother is to equip her children to confront any obstacles life presents.
"My children are my duty. I’ve guided them towards a future where they can care for themselves. They should not feel dependent on me. In India, parents often raise children to feel overly needy. I believe this approach is flawed," she remarked.
After her remarkable debut in the iconic 1989 film "Maine Pyar Kiya" alongside Salman Khan, Bhagyeshree married Himalaya Dassani in 1990. Since then, her involvement in projects has been limited.
