With Mother’s Day just around the corner, Pinkvilla reached out to actress Sheeba Chadha who has received a lot of love for playing several mother characters on screen. When asked about her most favourite mom role, Sheeba was quick to inform, “I really like this mother that I am playing in Badhaai Do, the film I have just shot for. I can’t say much about it. I also like the mother I am going to play now in this next film called Doctor G. I like both these mothers.”
She also shares the reason behind her fondness for these two characters. “Largely there is a sweetness in an obvious way. Bahut motherliness nai hai (There is not too much motherliness). You don’t have to play act being a mother at all, not that one should ever be doing that. But sometimes how the character is, she is in her own world, and is a bit lost. I love that quality, which was a tough one. I found that film quite tough to do - Badhaai Do. I am saying I loved doing it, I don’t know how it will be when I see it,” says Sheeba.
She further adds, “Then the other one, it’s because of where she belonged, the milieu she comes from and her openness I loved as a mother. She is a widow and single handedly has raised a child… I find her very progressive in that very small town milieu, and I find that very lovely.”
