After giving super hits as a leading actress in her films, Jaya took a break from Bollywood when motherhood happened in real life. However, the real-life mother came back to the screen with Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kal Ho Naa Ho and Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and we loved her nonetheless.

Reema Lagoo who left us last year was one of the most favorite female character actors of Bollywood. The innocence and affection that she carried would make anyone wish for a mother like her.

Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Vastav, Aashiqui, Judwaa, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Hum Saath Saath Hain are some of her popular appearances.

Restricted by an industry that mostly offered her mother roles, Farida Jalal made each role her own and gave us something to remember her by: Dilwale Dulhaniya Le jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Mammo, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, Student Of The Year, Laadla, Kya Kehna, Zubeidaa and many more.

What do you remember when you read “Mere Karan Arjun aayenge!”?
A generation probably only remembers Rakhee for her famous act in Karan Arjun, made memorable by the dialogue. However, it was Rakhee who first successfully transitioned from being a leading actress to play the role of a mother in Hindi films. She’s famous for her roles in films like: Karan Arjun, Dil Ka Rishta, Rudaali, Baazigar, Baadshah.
