Television actress Adrija Roy, known for her roles in popular shows like 'Anupamaa' and 'Imlie', reflected on the profound significance of her mother's support in her life. As Mother's Day approaches, the actress shared heartfelt thoughts about her mother's influence.
Adrija expressed, 'Mother’s Day is extremely special and important for everyone because without our mothers, we would not even exist. Every mother deserves to feel celebrated.' She revealed her plans for the day, saying, 'I stay far away from my mother, but I will definitely try to surprise her with something special online.'
The actress urged everyone to cherish their mothers daily: 'I would tell everyone to keep their mothers happy and make them feel loved, not just on Mother’s Day but every day. Mothers sacrifice so much for their children, so this is our opportunity to give something back.'
Mother's Role in Her Career Journey
When asked about the importance of her mother's support in her acting career, Adrija shared a touching story. 'Her support has been everything. When I first came to Mumbai for work, my first show went off air within a few months. After that, I spent months giving auditions and mock shoots. Many projects were almost finalised, but then they were suddenly cancelled. There were times when I felt completely broken and wanted to return to Kolkata because I did not know anyone in Mumbai.'
Recalling a pivotal moment, she said, 'I remember telling my mother that maybe I could not do this anymore. But my mother motivated me. She told me that many people struggle for years in Mumbai without getting work, so expecting success in just a few months was unrealistic. She said if I truly wanted to grow and achieve something big, I needed to stay patient and continue trying. That conversation changed my mindset completely. I chose to stay and fight for my dream.'
A Message of Gratitude
Adrija concluded with a message of gratitude, emphasizing that her mother's belief in her gave her the strength to persevere through difficult times. Her story serves as a reminder of the invaluable role mothers play in shaping their children's lives and careers.
