Kubbra opened up about the one woman who has been her constant source of strength and inspiration.

Sharing a fond childhood memory, Kubbra told IANS, "My mom almost treated me like a China doll, like delicate, pretty, interesting. I mean, there's so much that my mother has done for me in my childhood. It's insane. Okay, like she changed schools for me because I was bullied. She never sat down and looked at the society and be like, 'Oh, no problem. This is how my daughter will deal with all of this.' She always tried to make me stronger than society. And that is an incredible, incredible gift that I will always take in my heart.

"We had a tailor master and his name was Balaji Tailor. He used to sit in a small little tailoring shop in a tiny little area in Bangalore called Varnarpet I'm not even joking it's like V-A-N-A-R-P-E-T in Bangalore all right and my mum would go to him, And she would pick all the clothes, you know, like the catalogs, not magazines, like catalogs. And then she would take one collar from this catalogue. She'll take one frill from the other catalogue. She will take one A-line design from another catalogue. She'll do a cuff from one catalogue. She'll take a button from one catalogue and then she will go. She will buy all these things and then she will put clothes for me together. And I used to be quite an ingrate and I think I used to dirty them. I used to get tiny beatings also," she added.

Revealing the one thing that she wants to carry from her mother, the 'Sacred Games' actress shared, "I think I want to carry the never die attitude from my mom. My mom's a fighter. My mom is incredible. And at the same time, she's not been hardened by society. If anything, she has such a child inside her, and she's so curious, and she's so excited. I think she's a really wonderful woman."

What a beautiful tribute to her mother! ❤️ This reminds me so much of my own mom who would stitch my school uniforms by hand. Indian mothers truly are the backbone of our families. Kubbra's story about the tailor in Bangalore brought back so many memories!

While the sentiment is nice, I wish celebrities would also highlight working-class mothers who don't have the privilege to change schools or get custom-tailored clothes. Not everyone has these options. Still, respect for the mother-daughter bond.

"Never die attitude" - that's so true for Indian moms! 😊 My mom worked night shifts as a nurse while raising 3 kids. They're all superwomen! Kubbra's mom sounds amazing with her creative stitching ideas. Vanarpet area in Bangalore still has such tailors - our culture's hidden gems!

Interesting read but I'm surprised she mentioned getting "tiny beatings" so casually. We need to move away from normalizing corporal punishment, even if said in a lighthearted way. Otherwise, heartwarming to see such appreciation for mothers.

As a Bangalore resident, I got so excited seeing Vanarpet mentioned! 😄 That area still has such talented tailors. Kubbra's mom sounds like every typical Indian mother - sacrificing, creative, and making the best out of limited resources. Salute to all the mothers out there!

Beautiful story but I hope Kubbra also acknowledges her privilege. Most Indian kids bullied in school don't have the option to change schools. That said, the mother's dedication is truly inspiring. The part about mixing designs from different catalogs shows such creativity!
