That's like my mom! We often come across such one-liners from people around when they see their beloved mothers on their most typical but perhaps the most expected behaviour! It's the World's International Just Like Your Mom's Day on 6 April, and we quizzed our telly stars to tell us that one particular quirk that makes them go, "that's my mom!"

Riya V Anandwala speaks to them.

My mom is an animal lover! If she sees a puppy on the road shivering to death, she'll remove her shawl and cover the puppy with it. She has a thing for animals. She was a non vegetarian, but when she saw something on TV about not killing animals, she gave it up. She is not that caring about human beings, but she is all out for animals.

What a weird day??? Well if that's the case, then my mom is weird too. Well, not really, but there's one thing about her which is probably what all moms do!
If someone asks her about the time, and if it's 4.00, she'll say it's 4.30.pm. I don't know why she does that and I assume it's a Punjabi trait. And otherwise she is a little self contradictory too. For instance, if she says a 'no' for something and I do it, she says, 'why did you do it?' And when she says, 'yes' for something, and I do it, then again she'll say 'why did you do it?' At the end of the day, the person is confused as to what to do?

There is one thing about her which might just sound common, but in reality is not! She loves cooking, like any and every mother does. But, she can cook at any hour of the day. Many a times, my friends land up at my house in Delhi, when I am in Mumbai and even if they are 15 of them, she will cook for them and make them feel at home. She loves the fact that people come to our place and she gets a chance to serve them!

Well, there is definitely one thing that reminds me of my mom. If she opens the fridge and finds out that the milk tastes sour, she'll say, "Hey, taste this, it's tasting sour," and we go like, 'when it's tasting sour, why do you want us to taste it?' So that's typical of my mom. Another thing which I can recall about my mother is that she keeps saying that you are good for nothing, tera kuch nahin ho sakta.

There are so many! But one thing which I fail to understand is my mother's typical habit of wanting me to inaugurate anything and everything. She stays in Delhi, and for instance, she called me and said, "Amrudh ke pedh pe naye amrudh lage hain, tum aake tod do." So basically she expects me to come to Delhi whenever she buys something new, or if something new is happening there and be the first one to inaugurate it, otherwise she won't even touch it! Now that's not wired, but very weird!!!
