Archana Jois played Yash’s mother Shanthamma in KGF

Did you know that 27-year-old Archana Jois was the one who played Yash’s mother in the KGF franchise? At a very young age, she played an unglamorous look as a mother in a blockbuster movie and won everyone’s attention. She is a real beauty in life and her work, social media is a testimony to it. She is also a trained Kathak dancer.

Ramya Krishnan as Rajmatha Sivagami of Baahubali

Ramya Krishnan AKA Sivagami Devi’s majestic presence in SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali has left a lasting impression on the audience. In her career spanning over 3 decades, Ramya Krishnan has played many different roles. Still, her performance as Rajmatha Shivgamani, a foster mother of Prabhas, aka Amrendara Baahubali, is the most beloved character in the history of Indian cinema.

Urvashi in Achuvinte Amma and Veetla Vishesham

Veteran actress Urvashi (Vanaja) is a treat to watch in the Malayalam movie, Achuvinte Amma. The story of the film revolves around a single mother and her daughter Achu played by Meera Jasmine. The chemistry and relationship between the mother-daughter duo is the hero of the film. Another role of her as Krishnaveni in RJ Balaji’s Veetla Vishesham is my personal favourite. Veetla Vishesham is really Urvashi’s film as she plays the role of a mother, wife who gets pregnant at an older age.

Jyothika as Vasanthi in 36 Vayadhinile

’36 Vayadhinile’ revolves around Vasanthi (Jyothika), a devoted wife, mother and daughter-in-law and must say, Jyothika has played a role that will remain in the hearts of the audience forever. She works as a clerk in the movie. The film marked her return to the silver screen after 8 years.

Nadhiya as Mahalakshmi in M ​​Kumaran S/O Mahalakshmi

Nadiya Moidu’s role in the smash hit movie M.Kumaran S/O Mahalakshmi will always be special as she returned to cinema after a 10 year break. The story of the film revolves around an unconventional mother and son played by Nadiya and Jayam Ravi. Directed by M. Raja, M Kumaran S/O Mahalakshmi can be one of the best movies to watch on Mother’s Day.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful moms!
