While as much as we love our moms who back at home must be busy with something or the other, there are those on-screen mothers who can make us weep like babies when it comes to emotional outbursts. So this mother’s day, we bring to you the best Bollywood mothers.
Nirupa Roy
“Mere paas Maa hain”, this dialogue is golden, a classic. Decades have passed but this Maa is still in our hearts. Big B’s favourite on-screen mother has always been Nirupa Roy. After her established mother role in Deewar, she just didn’t seem to get off our minds.

Waheeda Rehman
Even though she belongs to a very small list of movies under the “I played a mother” category, but it was bliss to watch her in all of them. Favourite of the lot being Om Jai Jagdish and Rang De Basanti, she nailed those roles.

Nargis
The mother of all mothers in bollywood, her spectacular performance in Mother India, with the whole single mother raising two sons and working full time, not giving up on the evil villain effect was commendable to another level.

Farida Jalal
She has to be the sweetest of the lot. Her performance in DDLJ won hearts all across the globe. She even bagged the filmfare award for this one. But that wasn’t the only movie where she played the sweetest mother in the world, Kuch Kuch Hota hain, Dil Toh Pagal Hain and K3G were also a part of the list.

Jaya Bachchan
She has portrayed so many types of on-screen mothers that one just can’t get enough of her. Who knew the girl with the lantern in the balcony in Sholay could be one of the best motherly figure in the industry. Her hits include Kal Ho Na Ho, Fiza, K3G and Laga Chunri Mein Daag.

Reema Lagoo
You will remember her from her performance in Hum Saath Saath hain. The ultimate family movie which leaves us feeling a tad emotional. But well starting from Maine Pyaar kiya, she has been playing the mother role in all the Rajshri Productions. Well, she is perfect I would say.
Do you agree that these are the best onscreen moms? Have anyone else in mind? Do comment and let us know.
