Actor Bobby Vij finds his biggest role model not on film sets but at home. Ahead of Mother's Day, he shared how the values inherited from his mother, veteran actress Kishori Shahane, continue to shape his life and career.
Core Values from Mom
Bobby revealed that his mother taught him most of his core values. He described her as extremely hardworking, very disciplined, and genuinely kind and soft-hearted. Growing up watching Kishori balance film sets, television, and family, Bobby learned early that consistency beats everything.
Lessons on Hard Work
From her, Bobby learned that one's only job is to show up every day, give their best, and trust that when the time is right, life or God will give the results. Hard work and discipline are two big things he always carries with him.
Humility as a Non-Negotiable Trait
Despite her decades-long career in Marathi and Hindi cinema, Kishori Shahane remains known for her humility. Bobby has made this trait non-negotiable in his own life. He noted that she is very humble and approachable with everyone, regardless of who they are. Watching her, he understood that even with great success, one should never let it get to their head. Staying grounded, being respectful, and remaining human is more important, something he consciously tries to live by every day.
Beyond Mother's Day Sentiments
For Bobby, these are not just Mother's Day sentiments but daily practice. He believes the camera catches your face, but people remember how you made them feel. That is his mother's biggest teaching.
Simple Mother's Day Plan
This Mother's Day, Bobby's plan is simple: no grand gestures, just time with her. Showing up for her the way she showed up for him is the real gift.
