Mother's Day: Here's Taking A Look At Some Of The Inspiring OTT Mothers Who Left A Great Impact

Mother's day is a day to celebrate motherhood and the contributions mothers make to our lives and society in general. Mothers are often portrayed as selfless, devoted, and loving. While this may not be true for all mothers, it is true for most of them. They deserve recognition all year around and this special day should be an example of just that.

This Mother's Day, let's celebrate mothers on the OTT platforms.

1. Shanti Mishra aka Bittu ki Mummy - Gullak

Sonyliv

Bittu ki mummy is an example of a typical Indian mother, a woman who is considered the head of the household. She is required to provide for and make her family happy. Like most mothers, she enjoys cooking, cleaning, and caring for her children. And she will make certain that they are never hungry or fatigued and have all they require to be successful in life. One can identify with her and her simplicity because she is full of life and adores gossip and kitty parties.

2. Radha - Veyil

Amazon prime

Radha is a widow with two sons who have been ridiculed by her neighbors for raising her children without a man. Radha is a very unusual mother, which distinguishes her from the traditional Malayalam personalities. Some could claim she's cruel to her children and needs more assistance, while others might argue her children are unsupportive. The truth is likely to be somewhere in the middle. She, like any other mother, encourages her children to study and become good people. She wants her children to be self-sufficient and not rely on her earnings.

3. Sheel Chaudhary - Mai

Netflix

Sakshi Tanwar plays Sheel Chaudhary in this riveting revenge series. Tanwar has come a long way from portraying the part of a timid mother in Indian television serials to playing the character of Sheel, a mother on a mission. Sheel is a typical wife, mother, and self-sufficient Geeta Bhavan employee. She appears to be a compassionate individual who takes care of her own family. To avoid a family dispute, she respects the family elders and does not express her disbelief. In family matters, she relies on her spouse to argue for her. When it comes to her daughter's hit-and-run murder, which was presented as an accident, she comes across as a lady who has nothing to fear. This demonstrates that when a child requires his or her mother, she may transform into a lioness and protect her young cub.

4. Mary Sharma - Bridgerton

Netflix

Despite being the season's Diamond, Mary demonstrates warmth and a down-to-earth demeanour by choosing to marry out of love. She defied her family's wishes and married a lowly clerk leaving London and settling with him in Bombay, India. Her personality is highlighted by charm, wit, and brilliance. Mary is also a strong supporter of her two daughters, Kate and Edwina. Even though Kate is not her biological daughter, she treats her in the same manner as Edwina. After her husband's death, she takes every opportunity to provide for both of her daughters.

Anamika Anand is a talented actress with a strong sense of self. Although she is a working mother, she is always present and supports her children. She often delivers smart advice to her children and does so by giving them pointers on what not to do with their lives - 'Famous is not glamorous and fame can be dangerous' she says, showing how tough it's been for someone who has had to live under a spotlight. Or when she confronts her son about his sexuality. He feels ashamed and thinks that she won't love him anymore. Instead, she reassures him that no matter what he is, or what he does - she will always love him and want to protect him.

10. Aditi - Pet Puran

Is it required to have a child to be termed a mother? Being a pet mom is also a major duty in my opinion. When you are married, the question that follows - is when you will have your child?

Aditi is a dedicated pet mom who adores her fur babies.
