Twinkle Khanna might not have been a successful actor and she has never shied away from admitting it. Similarly, when it comes to motherhood, the actress feels that she’s far from being a perfect mother and has no qualms about accepting it.

She wrote, “A mother needs to keep an eye on her child’s mind as much as she does on her homework. She must follow the tendrils of her thoughts, and each time she sees something askew, she has to nudge it back in place and she needs to do this every single day. I may be far from perfect and I live with that guilt like most other members that belong to this tribe, but if I can do this much, then that’s good enough and perhaps good enough is as marvelous as we all need to be.”
Her post garnered a lot of love from fellow Bollywood moms, like Dia Mirza, Malaika Arora and Tahira Kashyap among others. Some fans lauded the actress with comments like, “Brilliant ma’am, this is very important to get connected with your child and I appreciate your thoughts,” and “This is exactly what my mommy needed to hear today. Thank you for the way you bring about connectedness to us all.”

Previously, sharing her views on modern day parenting, she had said, “Our job is not to give our children perfect childhoods. It is to fill their heads with ideas, to honour their strengths and make them aware, but never underline their weaknesses. It involves loving them madly and throwing a few vegetables down their throats. We need to permanently dedicate a large number of our neurons towards their mosquito bites, bad grades and hurt feelings. And we must do all of this, day after day, without losing sight of everything we are and can be, along with being their mothers #perfectlyimperfectparenting.”
Now that’s something every mom would relate to. With the current change in our lifestyle and behaviour, keeping an eye on a kid’s thoughts and mind is far more important than their homework.
