Just saw one very emotional clip of actress Pooja Chopra from the show Tum Ho Naa and it's just so powerful . She opened up about her mother's role in her life,and honestly,it's not your typical celebrity story.
During her chat with host Rajeev Khandelwal,she revealed something really shocking . Pooja said her own father had pressured her mother to abort her when she was just 20 days old . Just imagine that for a second.
And this is where her mother's bravery comes in . Pooja shared this one line that says everything, “Meri mummy ne to wo zimmedari nibhayi jo kisi aur ne nahi nibhayi.” It shows the kind of immense love and strength she had to go against that kind of pressure.
Honestly,this part of the story is just heartbreaking to even hear.
But her mother didn't just save her,she empowered her . Pooja said her mom never,ever made her feel like she was less than a boy. She even said,“Mummy ne mujhe kabhi ye nahi mehsoos hone diya ki main koi ladke se kam hoon,” which is such an important thing for a girl to hear growing up.
Few things that really stand out from her story:
- Her mother’s struggle to provide a better life and education for her and her sister .
- constant encouragement from her mom which helped Pooja believe in herself .
- Highlighting the huge challenges and bias girl children face in our society.
And it’s true ah,this isn’t just Pooja’s story . It’s the story of so many women and mothers who have to fight against their own families and society for their daughters.
Pooja credited her mother for making countless sacrifices so that both sisters could get a good education and have opportunities to succeed . It's a real story of how a mother’s love can change everything.
Her whole interview really resonated with a lot of people who have seen similar situations . It’s a reminder of how crucial family support is,especially when society puts up so many barriers.
It just makes you think about how many mothers are out there fighting these silent battles for their children every single day…
