Karan Johar wished his mother, producer Hiroo Johar with a story captioned: “Love love love love love love YOU!!!!!!! #happymothersday.”

Sunny Deol shared a video on his Instagram handle which featured a series of the pictures of actor alongside his mother, Prakash Kaur.

In an Instagram post, actor Sonam Kapoor wrote she learnt that true motherhood transcends “faith, borders, and beliefs nurturing not just a family but the spirit of humanity itself”.

“She is my mother, and she is also the reflection of Mother India, a land where temples, mosques, churches, and gurdwaras rise together under the same sky.. Where the language of love is spoken louder than the language of division.” “On this Mother’s Day, I celebrate not just my Ma, but every mother who teaches us to embrace, include, and love. This is the India I believe in. This is the love I was raised with,” she wrote.

Kiara Advani—who is expecting her first child with husband and “Shershaah” co-star Sidharth Malhotra—posted a collage with her mother’s photos on her Instagram Story. “Happy Mother’s Day to my whole (globe emoji)” she wrote.
