It’s not motherhood, it’s ‘Mentalhood’
When we talk of mothers, it’s usually an emotional feeling — ‘maa ke haath ki roti’ or ‘mommy knows best’, and all those other clichés. However, motherhood is like a rollercoaster without a break and no speed limit. Mothers put in all their energy into their kids and their lives revolve around their children. Yet, our mothers doubt themselves and often end up losing their existence in the self-created goal to achieve perfect parenting. From nourishment to punishment, none of them have solutions to all the problems they face.
Talking about the show, actor Karisma Kapoor, who plays the role of Meira Sharma, says, “I am not the only one who struggles every day. There are many mothers like me who keep making mistakes, who aren’t perfect, who are often confused between could and should. This is a shout-out to all such mothers. The ones who are struggling and learning, who don’t have all answers, who often find themselves confused, tired and a little guilty. I might not be able to answer all your doubts but I will, at least, raise the right questions. I might not end up winning but will make you laugh through the madness. I might not be the perfect mom but will seek satisfaction through my imperfections.”
Be a part of this nerve-wracking yet fun journey, where Kapoor unlocks various parenting issues including inner strength, peer pressure, bullying, examination stress, puberty, gender fluidity and adolescent love in this new series titled Mentalhood.
The series is now streaming on ALTBalaji and ZEE5.
