/> What have I learnt from my mother? Bollywood goes moist-eyed on Mother's Day...

Sonam Kapoor: "My mother is my best friend.I can't live without her for more than two weeks.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 Bhansali Sir and struggling to live up to his penchant for perfectionism she would step in to guide me.

During that crucial time my mother taught me to patient and to be strong and to follow my heart. My mother is an exceptional householder. She has not just three children but four, my father being the fourth.

He has to talk to to her ...like 20 times a day. If I can run my household after marriage with half my mom's efficiency I'd consider myself a successful woman.

Himesh Reshammiya: "She taught me that it's not just talent but destiny and the blessings of well-wishers that makes one successful

Arshad Warsi: "Nothing much. Just that knowing to cook is very important in life. You never know.

And to constantly stretch myself beyond the call of duty. Most important of all I've learnt the virtues of large-heartedness from her, to help every stray puppy, kitten, squirrel, child or old person whenever and however I can.

Raima Sen: "The biggest thing I've learnt from my mother is patience. Also to always respect other people's space and to be strong-willed.

She has also taught me and my sister Riya not to make the mistakes she made in her career.

She has brought both of us as independent women capable of taking our own decisions. She has taught us to do everything within limits. And we decide those limits.

Hema Malini: "My mother's motto in life was simple.Work hard and reach the goal. She made sure I followed that goal and reached where she dreamt I would.

No everyone is lucky enough to have a mother like mine. I've been lucky to have been her daughter. Even if I am half as good as my mother to my daughters I'm happy.

Sammir Dattani: "I am an unabashed Mama's Boy. She has taught me to be disciplined and restrained in my everyday conduct and to be passionate about my life and work.

From the time I was a child she'd push me to excel in sports and studies. At times I'd be resentful. Today when I see the competition around me I'm thankful to her for giving me the right values."
