Top 25 Bollywood Songs To Dedicate To Your Mother!

Indian cinema has given us every type of mother that we know of – from the scheming and plotting mother as played by Lalita Pawar in the movie ‘Mr. And Mrs. 55’ and the all-giving, all-sacrificing mother as played by Nargis in ‘Mother India’ to the mom who always lost her kids in every movie (Nirupa Roy) and the ‘play-it-safe’ and practically powerless mom as played by Farida Jalal in ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’. Bollywood has also given us some beautiful (and melodious) songs on mothers that bring tears to our eyes whenever we play them. How about this Mother’s Day you dedicate a Bollywood song on mothers to your lovely mom and let her know how much you mean to her! Songs From Bollywood to Dedicate to Your Mother While we like our movies over the top, we like our songs melodious, sentimental, and high on emotions! Here are 25 songs from Hindi films that you can dedicate to your mother on her birthday, on a momentous occasion, or just any day of the year! 1. Tu Kitni Achhi Hai Film: Raja Aur Runk This Bollywood adaptation of Mark Twain’s ‘The Prince And The Pauper’ makes for a great emotional watch. The song in itself beautifully captures the naive belief a mother has in her child. 2. Mummy Oh Mummy Tu Kab Saans Banegi Film: Khatta Meetha This Bollywood rip-off of the Hollywood classic ‘Yours, Mine and Ours’ is a light-hearted comedy that gave us some excellent music. The sweetest/funniest of them all has to be this song about a son, eager to find his mother a daughter-in-law! 3. Khushiyon Ka Din Aya Hai Film: Beta There isn’t one pair of eyes that this movie left dry when it was released in 1992. The emotional drama went on to win several accolades, including one for the ‘mother’ in the movie, Aruna Irani. The song captures the simple joy of a son on being accepted by his adoptive mother. 4. Meri Maa Film: Yaariyan This soulful track is complex on many levels – it is a dedication from the best friend of a boy, to the boy’s mother, after the boy tragically dies as a victim of a racist attack. It captures love, and loss, and shows how a mother’s love extends beyond her immediate child to her child’s friends too. 5. Maa Film: Taare Zameen Par If there is one film and song that captures how lonely, terrifying, and sad childhood can be, especially when your parents scold and ‘punish’ you, it has to be ‘Taare Zameen Par’ and ‘Meri Maa’ respectively! It is one of the most memorable and heart-warming Bollywood songs dedicated to mothers ever made. Make sure you have a box of tissues ready nearby when you listen to this song! 6. Usko Nahin Dekha Humne Kabhi Film: Daadi Maa This one is our personal favourite of all Bollywood songs for mothers. It beautifully equates the entity ‘mother’ to God, and how knowing one is knowing the other. The fast and up-beat pace makes it a refreshing song, as compared to other sentimental numbers. 7. Aisa Kyu Maa Film: Neerja The song starts with a recitation of the Hindi alphabet, which will instantly make you reminisce about your own school days. The movie showed a very special and beautiful relationship between mother and daughter, and this song will make you aptly relive that too. 8. Teri Ungli Pakad Ke Chala Film: Laadla The doting love that a son feels for his mother can be felt in this emotional number from the 1994 Bollywood drama. It stars one of the most loving and doting Bollywood mom, Farida Jalal. The song is your quintessential indebted-to-you-mother number. 9. Mumma Film: Dasvidaniya ‘Dasvidaniya’ tells the story of a 37-year old single man whose days get numbered as he finds out he has only another 3 months to live. With a list of 10 things he wants to do before he dies, he sets out on a beautiful journey of life. One of the 10 things on his list is this song, which is equal parts hopeful and sad. 10. Maine Maa Ko Dekha Hai Film: Mastana This song aptly reflects the pain of a neglected child growing up in a rich household. Nain-Tara, a young child, has a mother but longs for the mother to actually love her and care for her, look after her, the way a mother would. 11. Maa Ka Phone Aya Film: Khoobsurat Any person who has an overbearing mother, who doesn’t really understand words like space, privacy, and freedom, will relate to this hilarious number. One fun tip – you can set this as the ringtone for your mother’s number in your cell phone! 12. Meri Duniya Hai Maa Tere Aanchal Mein Film: Talaash S. D. Burman has given us some of the best music we know of. However, the best of his songs include the ones in his own unique voice. This song will pull at the right chords of your heart, and will definitely make you want to hug your mommy! 13. Chunar Film: ABCD 2 Mothers can help mould and shape life, through their actions while they are alive, and through their teachings after when are not with us. And that is what this song highlights – a son struggling to avenge himself, keeping his mother’s example in front of his eyes. 14. Mumma Ki Parchai Film: Helicopter Eela You will totally relate to the lyrics of this song if you have a helicopter mom. This movie brings out the goofy relationship between a mother and son, and the song ‘mumma ki parchai’ (the literal meaning of which is a mother’s shadow) cannot have been penned better. It sums up the over-protective and overbearing nature of the character Eela, who goes above and beyond her ways to be with her son. No one could have portrayed the role of Eela the way Kajol did! 15. Maa Da Laadla Film: Dostana While this isn’t exactly a ‘mummy’ song, we can so imagine Indian mothers going bonkers and having melodramatic reactions to their children’s lives as depicted by Kiron Kher in this song! The song also aptly captures how a mother can excessively worry about her child, and in the process drive herself and people around her crazy! 16. Maa to Hai Maa Film: Paanch Qaidi The lyrics of the song Maa to Hai Maa define mothers around the world so aptly. The song starts with the line ‘maa to hai maa, maa to hai maa, maa jaisa dunia me koi kaha’ and conveys everything that a child would want to say to his mother. Go ahead and sing this song to your ‘maa’ this Mother’s Day. 17. Maa Hai Mohabbat Ka Naam Film: Maa Ka Aanchal A mother sacrifices her life for her children; she goes above and beyond to make sure that she meets her kids’ demands. And she never asks for anything in return. This is what this song is about. And the soulful voice of Mohammed Rafi will definitely reach out to your heart. 18. Kaun Si Hai Wo Cheez Film: Jaisa Ko Taisa This song from the movie Jaise Ko Taisa stars Jeetendra and Reena Roy in the lead roles. The story revolves around look-alike twins who get separated at birth. One grows up as a hard-working farmer and the other in a wealthy family. Their life changes, when their places are switched. The songs of the movie are also very beautiful. The lyrics of the song ‘kaun si hai wo cheez’ convey the emotions of a son who could never receive his mother’s love. You can find everything here, but you can’t find a mother. A child’s life is because of his mother! This is what the song is all about. So play this song for your mother and make her know how grateful you’re for her existence! 19. Luka Chuppi Film: Rang De Basanti We know that this song does not have a happy note to it, but it’s a must-include in our list of Mother’s Day songs. This beautiful song penned by Prasoon Joshi still leaves us teary-eyed whenever we listen to it. It gives an insight into a mother’s heart who is grieving the loss of her son. This song conveys that a mother is never tired of seeing her children and is always worried about them no matter how old they grow. 20. Maa Album: Taare Zameen Par The song “Maa” from Taare Zameen Par is an emotional tribute to a mother’s unconditional love. Sung by Shankar Mahadevan, this touching melody beautifully captures the pain of separation and the deep bond between a child and his mom. It’s one of the most soul-stirring songs ever created for Mother’s Day or any moment of heartfelt reflection. 21. Meri Pyaari Ammi Film: Secret Superstar This beautiful song holds the movie’s tone; that is a tale of a girl fighting patriarchy at home and finding her mother helping her out. This lovely song written by Kausar Munir is a must-play this Mother’s Day. 22. Janam Janam Film: Phata Poster Nikhla Hero A list of Bollywood songs about mothers is incomplete without this one. This song is sung by Atif Aslam and composed by Pritam Chakraborty. 23. Phool Jaisi Muskaan Film: Taqdeerwala “Phool Jaisi Muskaan” is a beautiful song that captures the essence of a sweet and innocent smile. Its melody and lyrics are sure to uplift one’s spirits and bring a sense of joy. 24. Meri Maa Song Album: Mother’s Day Special Song “Meri Maa” by Jubin Nautiyal is a touching tribute to a mother’s love. 25. Ye Bandhan Toh Film: Karan Arjun A classic song from a classic movie. This has got to be one of the best songs to dedicate to your mother. Its beautiful lyrics and soulful melody are sure to be cherished by your mom for a very long time! FAQs 1. How to Make a Song for Your Mother? You can make a song for your mother by following these tips: Begin with a cherished memory. Show gratitude for her sacrifices and love. Highlight her admirable qualities. Find inspiration in existing songs. Embrace and express your emotions openly. 2. How can I make Mother’s Day songs a memorable part of my celebration?

10 Humorous Books on Parenting and Motherhood

Isn’t it ironic that you get stressed out often after the arrival of your little bundle of joy? Well, you are not the only one who needs some tips to make life easier as a parent. We list some funny books for new moms that will not only tickle your funny bones but also help you deal with various situations effectively. After all the sleep deprivation and late-night feeding, what new moms really need is a good laugh. Take some time out to read books that will tickle your funny bone and lighten your mood. Cheer up and move on with your journey as a mom by taking cues from these funny parenting books. Soon, you will learn to deal with difficult situations with a smile on your face. Let’s check out these funny books on parenting. Funny Books on Parenting and Motherhood Parenthood is chaotic and exhausting—so why not laugh about it? These funny books for new parents capture the madness of raising tiny humans, offering comic relief for sleep-deprived parents. From sarcastic survival guides to absurd parenting confessions, these funny fiction books about motherhood are the perfect antidote to toddler tantrums and diaper disasters. 1. The Honest Toddler: A Child’s Guide to Parenting by Bunmi Laditan Written from the perspective of a sassy toddler, this book humorously exposes the “hardships” of being a child (like unfair snack restrictions). A laugh-out-loud take on the toddler-parent power struggle, it’s filled with faux-complaints about unreasonable bedtimes and the injustice of vegetable consumption. Laditan’s spot-on toddler logic will have you nodding (and cackling) in recognition—especially when the narrator critiques your subpar snack offerings. Image Credit: Pinterest 2. Let’s Panic About Babies by Alice Bradley This book is again a sarcastic take on pregnancy and parenting that all moms will surely appreciate. It discusses today’s fears, inducing parenting culture, in a funny manner. Hilarious anecdotes, quizzes, tables, and illustrations make this book perfect for all mothers who love to read. Image Credit: Pinterest   3. How to Be a Happier Parent by KJ Dell’Antonia While not purely comedy, this book uses wit and real-life stories to help parents find joy in the chaos. It’s like therapy, but with more jokes about laundry piles. Dell’Antonia, a former New York Times parenting columnist, blends research and humor to reframe common struggles, like homework battles and extracurricular overload. Her mantra? “Lower your standards—and enjoy the ride.” Image Credit: Pinterest 4. Babyhood by Paul Reiser Comedian Paul Reiser’s take on fatherhood is packed with relatable, self-deprecating humor. From diaper disasters to sleep deprivation, he proves dads struggle just as much as moms. Reiser’s observational comedy shines as he recounts the absurdities of early parenthood, like the existential crisis of assembling baby gear or the horror of being peed on mid-diaper change. His warm, witty style makes this a standout for both moms and dads. Image Credit: Pinterest 5. The Girlfriend’s Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood by Vicki Iovine This blunt, funny guide covers everything from postpartum body changes to marital warfare over baby duties. Think of it as a brutally honest pep talk from your best friend. Iovine’s no-nonsense advice—like how to survive sleep deprivation without murdering your partner—is delivered with sharp wit and zero filter. It’s the book you’ll want to thrust into the hands of every new mom. Image Credit: Pinterest 6. Why Did No One Tell Me This?! by Natalia Hailes & Ash Spivak Two doulas deliver hilarious, unfiltered advice on pregnancy and newborns. Spoiler: It involves a lot of swearing and zero sugarcoating. From the truth about breastfeeding struggles to the reality of postpartum recovery, they spill the tea with dark humor and empathy. Their mantra? “Parenting is hard. Laughing about it helps.” Image Credit: Pinterest 7. Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting by Pamela Druckerman This witty memoir explores why French children (supposedly) don’t throw food or interrupt conversations—and how the author hilariously fails at replicating it. Druckerman’s self-deprecating humor about cultural parenting clashes makes this both insightful and laugh-out-loud funny. Image Credit: Pinterest 8. Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting by Emily Oster While primarily a research-based guide, Oster’s dry wit shines as she debunks parenting myths. Her humorous takes on the absurdity of mommy wars and parenting dogma make data surprisingly entertaining. Image Credit: Pinterest 9. The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems by Tracy Hogg While technically a parenting guide, Hogg’s dry British wit and no-nonsense advice (like her famous “E.A.S.Y.” routine) will have you chuckling at her blunt takes on baby sleep and feeding dramas. Her anecdotes about “angel” vs. “spirited” babies are particularly relatable. Image Credit: Pinterest 10. The Happiest Baby on the Block by Dr. Harvey Karp This groundbreaking parenting classic isn’t just practical—it’s surprisingly witty! Dr. Karp’s genius “5 S’s” method for calming babies is delivered with playful humor, like comparing swaddling to a baby burrito or describing infant cries as a “foreign language no one warned you about.” While packed with science-backed techniques, his lighthearted analogies (“Your baby’s not giving you a hard time—they’re having a hard time”) make it a joy to read during those 3 AM feedings.  Image Credit: Pinterest FAQs 1. Can reading humorous parenting books actually reduce stress? Absolutely! Laughter triggers endorphins, which combat stress hormones like cortisol. Humor helps reframe chaotic parenting moments, making challenges feel more manageable—almost like free therapy, but with more diaper jokes. Studies show that finding comedy in parenthood can improve resilience and mental well-being. 2. Are there cultural differences in parenting humor? Yes—what’s hilarious in one culture might baffle another. For example, American books often joke about sleep deprivation, while Japanese parenting humor might focus on societal expectations. British humor leans on dry sarcasm, whereas Scandinavian books highlight the absurdity of “perfect parenting” ideals. 3. Can funny parenting books help with PPD/PPA? In moderation, yes. Humor normalises struggles and reduces isolation, which can ease symptoms of postpartum depression/anxiety. However, they’re not a substitute for professional help—think of them as a complementary coping tool, like a laughter-filled support group. These are only some of the many wonderful and funny books for moms out there. Read these new mum books, funny enough to make those sleepless nights feel lighter. The ones that we recommend offer a fun reading experience along with some valuable information that will delight you at the turn of every page.

Kunal Kemmu's Sweet Message for His Biker Baby Inaaya Is A+ Parenting!

Inaaya Naumi Kemmu, the daughter of actor duo Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu, is not a new face on the internet. She, along with her cousin Taimur Ali Khan are regular features on social media and we absolutely adore these two cuties of tinseltown. But this time, she is also giving us some major #bikergoals! Kunal Kemmu, Inaaya’s proud dad, took to Instagram to share a picture of him and his daughter sitting on a yellow bike, with the hashtag #bikerbaby. Inaaya can be seen sitting on the tank of the bike and is a sweet little sight to behold. Take a look at the cute picture for yourself. Source: https://www.instagram.com/p/BxHadhoFyHN/ Doesn’t she look adorable sitting atop the bike in that grey frock and pink helmet? The dad-daughter duo share a beautiful bond, and their picture is just a(ww)dorable! But what we love more is the caption underneath the picture; Kunal Kemmu penned down some inspiring advice for his darling daughter – “Soon we shall ride together and soon you shall have your own. Let no one tell you what you can or can’t do. Make your own road and make your own journey.” Inaaya’s curiosity to try out new things can be seen in her beautiful eyes. Who knows, we may see her grow up to be an excellent biker someday! Last year, Kunal shared a picture on his Instagram handle, where he was seen reading the morning newspaper with little Inaaya. Of course, the little tot was too young back then (and even now) to read or understand anything, but her parents sure know how to instil good habits in her from a young age. Source: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bii2DoVh_do/ Babies learn by observing their surroundings but mostly by watching their parents. They also imitate their parents’ actions and take their advice as the last word, especially when they’re really young and impressionable. If you want your children to reach heights and be happy in the future, the time to develop good habits in them and encourage them to follow the right path is now. Habits developed early on die hard and what we teach our children today, is what they will become tomorrow. It is also essential that you instil a sense of independence and confidence in your children right from a young age. Your motivating words and the thought that you are always there for them can make your children face the world fearlessly. When kids know that they have got their parents’ support to follow the paths they’ve chosen for themselves, no words from outsiders can put them down. It’s the little things you teach your tots today that will make you an example of an excellent parent. And we know you must be doting parents to your children just like Soha and Kunal are! Kunal Kemmu tied the knot with Soha Ali Khan in the year 2015 and they welcomed their baby girl in 2017. On the work front, he was last seen in Kalank, a multi-starrer movie directed by Abhishek Varman and produced by Karan Johar. His upcoming project includes Malang, a horror-romantic movie slated for release in 2020. In spite of his busy schedule, however, Kunal sure knows how to make time for his daughter. And we can’t stop gushing over the picture and the sweet caption he shared! Little Inaaya is sure to be a big success someday in whatever she chooses to do – her daddy has got her back after all!
