Army nurse Meeta Jaitly's enduring influence

Dropping a throwback picture of her mom with her twin boys, Celina wrote on her Instagram, "#motherinheaven - Everything I know about being a mother, I learnt from you. I never thought I would have to navigate motherhood without your gentle guidance and reassuring voice. I'm sorry I wasted time reading all those books on motherhood when the greatest teacher I ever needed was right there in front of me. You taught me the strength of a mother's heart, the grace in her patience, and the fierceness in her protection."

The 'Apna Sapna Money Money' actress expressed how much she missed her mother with the following words, "I often find myself reaching for the phone to ask you what to do on days I feel lost, only to remember that heaven holds you now. Baby Arthur will never know the warmth of your embrace or the sound of your laughter echoing through our home. He will never get to experience the wonderful, dynamic grandmother who would have filled his childhood with stories, songs, and the kind of unconditional love only you could give."

"There isn't a day I don't miss you. In every lullaby I hum, every little hand I hold, and every tear I wipe from their cheeks, I feel you beside me, guiding me in ways no book ever could. You live on in every act of love I give my children, and that is how I keep you close," she added, remembering her biggest guide.

"Until we meet again, keep watching over us. I am still learning from you, Ma... every single day," Celina concluded the post.

For the unversed, Celina's mom Meeta had been a nurse in the Indian Army. She passed away on June 8, 2018, after fighting a long battle with cancer.

This made me emotional 😢 As someone who lost my mother last year, I relate to every word Celina has written. No matter how old we get, we always need our mothers. Beautiful tribute to an army nurse - what an inspiring woman she must have been!

Respect for Meeta Jaitly ji - serving as an army nurse is no easy job. She raised her daughter with strong values that show in Celina's grounded nature despite being a celebrity. More power to single mothers who balance career and parenting!

While the tribute is touching, I wish celebrities would also highlight the struggles of ordinary Indian mothers who don't have nannies or luxury. The real motherhood struggle is of middle-class women managing everything alone. Just my thoughts.

Lost my mom to cancer too. That pain never goes away. Salute to all mothers fighting this terrible disease while still being pillars for their families. Celina's words about reaching for the phone hit home hard 💔

So beautiful! In our culture, mothers are truly our first gods. The part about her mother living on through her actions with her children - that's exactly how our traditions teach us to honor ancestors. More power to Celina and her lovely family ❤️

Respect for army families! My father served in BSF and I know how tough it is for military mothers - managing home alone during postings. Celina's mom must have been made of steel. Jai Hind to all armed forces parents!
