Not only that, but the ‘Dhoom’ actress also revealed how her mother always pampered her and the things she learned from her that is now helping her with her adorable children Radhya and Miraya.
Excerpts from the interview …
Esha, if you had to change places with your mother for a day, how would you be as a mother to Hemaji?
I would be absolutely fine doing that because my mother still calls me her mother anyway. I have many behavior patterns that my mother notices in me that are identical to those of my grandmother, Jaya Chakrobarthy. So she tells me this so many times that you sound exactly like your grandmother and I’m quite strict with my mother in many ways. It is a very beautiful relationship that I share with my mother, where sometimes she becomes her mother and I tell her certain things that she should not do or certain places that she should not go to. Therefore, I would love to switch roles and be her mother for a day. I think I will do very well. She is a very disciplined person, not that I have to be strict with her for this, but in general, being her mother for a day would be absolutely delightful.
I would also like to go back in time and accompany her on the sets of her movies and be the strict type of person that my grandmother. I also remember her saying that my grandmother used to watch her on the sets. Then I would love to do that.
Describe your relationship with your mother.
My relationship with my mother is extremely special and personal. I don’t like to talk openly about what my mother and I share because I think it is very sacred. Over the years, we’ve only gotten closer. Especially when I joined the film industry, there was a different bond that I developed with her because she is also an actress and that’s where our friendship began.
When I started dating Bharat, she was the first person who knew that I was in love and serious about this boy. I think she is my ideal person for everything. I have best friends, but most of the time I feel like I really need to talk, I talk to my mother. I consider her my best friend today. So yes, she is someone who cares for me and I am someone who cares for her. She always tells me that you are like my son and I am always there for her when she needs me. I love her.
What is the only time you yelled at him? Do you remember the incident or the memory?
I do remember the incident because my mother never scolds me or my sister. She was not one of those people, who screamed and screamed for everything we did, but when she did, we realize that we must have done something wrong.
I was once caught copying during my biology exam at school because I got suspended and that’s a valid reason to get really mad.
What are the 3 things your mother has taught you that have helped you become a better mother?
Not only three things, but in its entirety, it’s just being with her and around her and seeing how it used to work and even today it does with Ahana and me, so I learn a lot and learn from that. And I do the same as I have two daughters. So I keep an eye on both of them and I’m with them all the time. But there is one thing I learned from my mother is the way she used to be our age and play with us. She used to mix and mingle with us. Even when we wanted to try delicious Thai food, he would accompany us and shop at stores we liked. Even today, she adjusts to age and the environment we are in beautifully. That is something that I want to incorporate into myself and be with my children.
As a mother, describe what motherhood means to you.
Motherhood for me is everything. I could not have asked God for anything else that has blessed me and Bharat. Motherhood is beyond love for me. It is something that needs to be treasured and enjoyed to the fullest without any other feelings. It is a very pure and unconditional love bond with your children that I drink and that is naturally happening between me and my children.
What is the trait of your mother that you would love to drink?
She was a bit of a calm mother compared to me. Naturally, I tend to be with my kids and keep an eye on what’s going on, and sometimes I go overboard. So I’m still not sure if I would like to assimilate my mother’s quiet trait, but I think that eventually, once the girls grow up, I will learn.
Who is your strictest mother with Ahana or you?
I think my mother was always strict with me. Being the oldest, we are the ones who should lead by example as the youngest follow you.
Who is your biggest critic at home?
My mother and husband are my biggest critics at home.
What are your 3 favorite Hema Malini movies?
I love ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’ because as a child I used to watch the movie every day for a year or more. I know each dialogue backwards for now. I really enjoyed ‘Andaz’ and the one that really moved me was ‘Baghban’.
If you had a chance to star in your mother’s movie remake, which one would you choose and why?
I don’t think anyone should touch any of their movies, as what they did cannot be replaced by anyone. We should see and enjoy them.
What is the one thing / person that your mother cannot live without?
My mother cannot live without me or my sister. We are the most important people in your life. We and our father mean the whole world to her.
If you could change one thing about your mother, what would it be?
I would like him to stop growing and be with us forever. Like being trapped in a time capsule that makes her be with us forever.
What is a perfect Mother’s Day like?
Being with my mother and my daughters. The four of us together, loving each other and enjoying simple moments of joy. That would be a perfect mother’s day for me.
Who is your favorite mother on the screen?
Farida Jalal got all the qualities of being an amazing on-screen mother.
If you had to choose your mother in the remake of a Hollywood movie, what would it be and why?
My mother can pull out the role of Meryl Streep from ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ for sure. I think they have both aged gracefully and still look gorgeous.
Describe your mother in 3 words.
Passionate, loving and eternal dreamgirl.
What is the best dating advice you have from your mother?
Without going out, but she advises Bharat and me to enjoy this time and this phase and avoid these petty fights.
