Shilpa Shetty believes her mother embodies 'strength, love, dignity'

Actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra took to her social media handle to share a video and express love for her mom on the occasion of Mother's Day. She also thanked her mother-in-law for encouraging her always.

Mumbai: May 10 is Mother's Day and like many other Bollywood celebrities, Shilpa Shetty took out time to talk about what an "incredible example of strength, dignity, ethics and love" her mother has been for her as well as her sister Shamita.

"I am so grateful to God for blessing me with 'this' mother in this life, who has loved and supported me unconditionally and selflessly. She has been an incredible example of strength, dignity, ethics and love to both Shamita and me and moulded us into the individuals we are today," said Shilpa.

"The moral and spiritual values that she gave us throughout our formative years make for such a beautiful gift - one that can never be repaid," she added.

Shilpa used TikTok's in-app campaign #ThanksMaa to thank her mother. She created a video using TikTok's photo template to express love for her mom on this special occasion. It featured beautiful photographs of the actor along with her mother.

She also thanked her mother-in-law, "who encourages me with pride in all my endeavours," adding: "None of this would have ever been possible without your love and blessings."

Meanwhile, to make the day even more memorable, cricketers David Warner, Suresh Raina and Shikhar Dhawan and actor Hansika Motwani will be going live on TikTok at 11 am on May 10.
