Every son must maximise Mother's Day: Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik and his mother Pinky, talk about the kind of relationship and bond they share.



Hrithik on his mother

Every son must maximise Mother's Day. I'm of the view that every day belongs to your mother. The unconditional love that a mum gives can never come from any other relationship. The idea of setting aside this one day in the calendar to celebrate your mother is fantastic. It's a day when you should attempt to put a continuous smile on her face with every gesture of yours. Besides giving my mother flowers and a note for Mother's Day, I have also given her the gift of fitness this year. She is 60 years old and was 25 kilos heavier a few months ago.

But I got her motivated to lose weight and I love the fact that she picked up the challenge. Look at her today — she looks as young as any of us. Fitness is a quality that makes you feel empowered. Mothers give love and I think it is time for us to take it forward by giving love to others. Whatever I am, is all because of her. Nothing gives me more joy than to give back to the world what my mother gave me — affection, the value system or just small tips and lessons in everyday life.

Pinky on Hrithik

As everyone knows, I have been a star wife all my life. And, the one question people have often asked me is, how was it raising my children — Sunaina and Hrithik — in the atmosphere of a star home. Obviously, they are keen to know if I have spoiled my children because we were privileged. Frankly, being a star wife is different from being a mother. This is something I told myself right at the onset. So, both Sunaina and Hrithik were raised as normal children. I gave them lots of love and affection, but I also instilled the right values in them, from the start. As they went from children to teenagers to adults, I continuously monitored their growth to ensure they didn't lose their way. Today, I'm a proud mother because despite some pluses and minuses like most of us have, both have turned out to be normal.

Hrithik knows how to make me feel special. I know there are many children who fail to acknowledge the contribution of their mothers. My son continues to give me undying love and what's more, he keeps me motivated throughout. Just a few months ago, he got me hooked onto fitness. They say a family that eats and prays together, stays together. In our case — it would be the family that exercises together, stays together. I cannot tell you how inspiring it is to spend time with Hrithik in the gymnasium. Not only does he supervise my exercise routine, but he also keeps offering me incentives, like he does with his two children. I must share a secret with you. Hrehaan and Hridhaan, Hrithik and Sussanne's little boys, Sunaina, her daughter and I keep getting flowers, specially inscribed cups and medals from my son when we do well in the gym. He's a bit strict when he gives us challenges. But he's equally caring and ensures each of us gets rewarded for our efforts.

Coming back to the Mother's Day bit, as far as I'm concerned, it's Mother's Day all the 365 days of the year. And Hrithik ensures that I feel special throughout. The best gift he has given me is by becoming the person he is...warm, sensitive and a devoted family man.

MS Dhoni receives ICC Shield for India's ODI glory

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Monday received the prestigious ICC ODI Championship Shield and a cheque of $175,000 for leading his side to the top of the ICC ODI Championship table on the annual April 1 cut-off date. This is the first time since the current ranking system was introduced in 2002 that India finished as the No. 1 ranked one-day international (ODI) side. David Morgan, former president of the International Cricket Council (ICC), presented the Shield to Dhoni, who also collected the cheque, after India's training session at the Cardiff Wales Stadium. "I am very proud of this huge achievement, as being No. 1 is a reward for all of us but hopefully it is just the beginning. Being No. 1 in the world brings with it a certain respect for the game itself and for the way in which we play the game and conduct ourselves on the field," said Dhoni. "You have to be consistent to be ranked No. 1 and I think we have reached that level of consisten...

With Love from Tehran – Mandana Karimi

The part Turkish, part Iranian, part Indian Mandana Karimi will be soon be seen in the Vikram Bhatt-directed Bhaag Johnny. The tall, brown-eyed Karimi talks to us about poetry, watches and food. When we heard you were from Iran, we instantly thought of Ferdowsi. We think his Shahnameh was as excellent piece of work as ever to come out of Iran. Are you into poetry as well? I love Ferdowsi, but there are others that you should read. People like Ahmad Shamlou and Sadi. And Hafiz, too. Hafiz… he was good, eh? Can you recite a couplet or two from one of his poems? You have to read them in Farsi, but wait, let me try to translate a couple of lines from one of his poems. This is from Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved, a collection of some 100 poems by Hafiz: Come and set my boat free on sail in the winerivers! Come and burn the guru and the youth inheavenly fires! Oh wine-bearer! In wine, let my boat sail away As, “in water set free your goodness”, they say. In mistake, I turned away from...

Priyanka Chopra's starry tantrums!

Priyanka Chopra, who is playing the role of Olympic champ Mary Kom in her next, is training hard to fit in the character. According to recent reports, the actress wants to install a punching bag near her home, but not inside it as she does not want to spoil the interiors of her house.  Priyanka Chopra and her family owns few flats in Raj Classic located at Versove. She wants to install a punching bag at the premises of the society, but it seems that her neighbours are not too happy with the decision. Talking about it, a source told a leading daily, "She owns quite a few flats in the building. It appears that she does not want to tamper with the ceiling in any of her homes in the building." The source further added, "As she is busy with her commitments, her father Ashok Chopra has been coordinating with the society folks to install it on the ground floor of the premises." Well PeeCee, instead of your training, we would like you to focus more on your acting!
