It takes more than giving birth to a baby to be a good parent. Patience, dedication, love, and care are all a part of being a good parent, and you only learn with time and experience what kind of parent you want to be. While there are many parenting styles and schools of thought that a parent can adopt, you have to find the one that best suits you and your child. You could either choose a friendly mom or a strict one, an authoritative one, or a permissive one. Whichever way you choose, your child is bound to grow up with the values you instill in them. Therefore, it’s more than just feeding, bathing, and paying for your child. You are responsible for who they become when they grow up and what kind of a person they grow up to be.
We’ve seen several celeb moms who take on the role of a mother like a baws! From Shilpa Shetty and Sushmita Sen to Kareena Kapoor and Neena Gupta, we’ve seen mothers parent their children in the best way possible. Recently, on Mother’s Day, Indian actress and fashion designer Mandira Bedi spoke about how she is a tiger mom to her daughter Tara Bedi Kaushal. Read this article to know more.
Mandira rose to fame after her role in the 1994 television series Shanti. Ever since then, the actress has been breaking barriers and making headlines for all the right reasons. On July 28th, 2020, Mandira and her husband Raj Kaushal adopted a 4-year-old girl. They welcomed her into their family and named her Tara Bedi Kaushal. A few months later, they introduced the new addition of the family on social media, and Mandira called her a blessing from above.
During a Mother’s Day special interview, Mandira spoke about her daughter with pride. She said that she was a little reserved at first, but her personality has started shining through with time. The fierce mom said that Tara was fascinated with her bhaiya Vir. She explained how the little one loves water and puzzles.

The proud mom revealed that Tara has shown a significant improvement in academics. She said that her favorite movie was Frozen and has now become Brave which she watched on repeat. After eight months, Tara knows all the colors and can count from 1-100. She also recognizes all the alphabets and writes them in upper and lower case. Tara can also spell her name now. Mandira expressed her pride and beamed with happiness as she spoke about her little girl.
Talking about Tara’s relationship with her father and brother, Mandira said that Vir showed her off to his friends through a virtual video call. The mom of two stated that on Bhaiya Dooj, Vir took her to the side and said that he is lucky to have a cute little sister like Tara. She said that he finds her annoying at times (like every sibling does) but kisses her goodnight on her forehead. She said that Tara loves it when her father Raj feeds her.

A troll on social media insulted her daughter by posting an insensitive comment on a picture she posted. The inconsiderate internet user posed a below-the-belt question asking Mandira which slumdog center she had picked up her daughter from. Mandira’s maternal instincts kicked in. She charged back at the online trolls and made it clear that she will protect her kids like a tigress protects her cub.
When asked about the trolling her daughter faced, Mandira said that it was unforgivable, inhuman, and uncalled for. She said that it takes a low-level individual to do something like that, and insulting someone doesn’t make you brave, cool, or bold. Mandira called them out by saying that they are the weakest cowards who are spewing poison while hiding behind a shield on anonymity.
We applaud her for shutting down spineless jerks who took shots at her family, and we agree that they are nothing but cowards! We wish this cute family showers of love, happiness, and health. What are your thoughts on this article? Comment below and let us know.
