Neeru Bajwa, the Punjabi queen currently entertaining fans with her latest release 'Jawak,' shares a special message for Mother's Day 2026. The mother of three lovely daughters—Aanaya and twins Aalia and Aakira—reveals how being a mom changed her life both professionally and personally.
Neeru Bajwa says motherhood taught her to say no
While speaking in an exclusive interaction, Neeru Bajwa says, 'Motherhood gave me the confidence I never had before. It taught me to say no and not try to please everyone.' She continues that she also wants her three daughters to learn the same: 'I want to be a strong role model for my girls more than anything. I want them to know the power of saying no and doing things that make them happy and are important to them.' 'I believe being a mother has helped me as an actor as well, to be more sensitive and honest,' she adds.
Neeru Bajwa's house rules for her kids
'The number one rule in our home is being humble: no one is a star in our home, and we maintain a very normal, grounded life,' she reveals while discussing her parenting non-negotiables. The 'Jatt & Juliet' star adds, 'We put our foot down where needed, and can be quite the force. But I truly want my children to grow up as kind, normal kids. Who will make mistakes, and it's ok. As we all do, and it's normal.' She says all that she wants for her girls is to learn the art of 'Being kind, not having a chip on their shoulder.'
Neeru Bajwa keeps her daughters away from unrealistic standards
Further in the interaction, Neeru Bajwa shares about taking conscious steps to shield her girls from the pressures of the industry and society. Here's what the actress does to keep her daughters safe from unrealistic standards: 'I don't like talking about diets and losing weight. I do promote being strong and the importance of living a healthy life. Sleep, food, movement, and fun. We also encourage them to be themselves.' 'I let them choose their clothes, be comfortable: I don't want to doll them up to create some false image that we are perfectly to the world. Most days I am in my tracks all day with a pony running around, but then I can glam up when I want to.'
Neeru Bajwa, the working mom
Despite being one of the busiest artists in the industry, Neeru Bajwa makes sure to stay completely involved in her kids' lives. 'I am involved in everything they do from the moment they wake up to when they sleep,' says the star, who takes her kids on her shoots and promotions if it fits their schedules. 'Of course, when I am away, I designate my husband and nanny as to what needs to be done, and I have their schedules written for them so they know their activities. I can handle play dates, school, and activities, all when I am away too,' she says with a smile. Her words prove that being a mother comes with its own responsibilities and challenges, but everyone has their way of navigating through them.
