From old hats like Shabana Azmi, Hema Malini and Mahesh Bhatt to young actors like Sonam Kapoor, Lara Dutta and Abhishek Bachchan - On Mother's Day they all talk about the contribution of their mothers in their lives and give them credit for their success. Here is what the actors have to say on the special occasion:

Sonam Kapoor: My mother is my best friend. What she has taught me is to value the people who love me. I never take anyone for granted. When I was working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and struggling to live up for his penchant for perfectionism, she would step in to guide me.

During that crucial time my mother taught me to be patient and strong and to follow my heart. My mother is an exceptional householder. She doesn't have just three children, but four, my father being the fourth. He has to talk to her like 20 timesa day. If I can run my household after marriage with half of my mom's effciency I'd consider myself a successful woman.
