Ankita Lokhande's Emotional Instagram Tribute to Her Mother
Actress Ankita Lokhande, currently captivating audiences on the reality show Laughter Chefs 3, has shared a deeply personal and heartfelt post on Instagram dedicated to her mother, Vandana Phadnis Lokhande. The post includes a series of beautiful photographs alongside a lengthy, emotional note where Ankita openly confesses to feeling guilty about not being able to spend sufficient time with her mother due to her demanding professional commitments.
A Rare and Unconditional Love
In her caption, Ankita expressed that words often fall short when describing her mother's profound impact. She wrote, "Meri maa… Sometimes words fall short, but today I want to say everything that sits in my heart." She praised Vandana for being a rare kind of mother—not only to her own children but extending her love and care to every member of their extended family, including Adi, Nikita, Ashu, Tanmay, Poonam, Mudgdha, and now Advait.
"Your love is never divided, never partial. It is equal, pure, and overflowing," Ankita emphasized, highlighting the unconditional and all-encompassing nature of her mother's affection.
Gratitude Amidst Guilt
The Pavitra Rishta actress acknowledged that her strength, values, and everything she has become today are directly attributed to her mother's upbringing and guidance. However, she admitted to struggling with guilt over their limited time together. "Sometimes I feel guilty that we don’t spend much time together anymore—our responsibilities, our lives, this busy city… and even though we’re in the same place, we don’t meet daily," Ankita revealed.
Despite this, she made sure to convey her immense gratitude, adding, "But please know, Mama, I’m grateful every single day that I have you. Truly grateful."
Lessons in Strength and Love
Ankita further elaborated on the invaluable life lessons she has learned from her mother, stating that these teachings surpassed anything she could have gleaned from books, quotes, or other people. "People tell me all the time, 'Your mother is so strong, her aura is so powerful… the connection you both share is beautiful.' And they are right. Because everything I know about love, about giving, about relationships… I learnt from you, Mama," she penned.
She also shared a poignant memory of her mother's resilience following the passing of Ankita's father. Ankita recalled being initially worried about how Vandana would cope with the loss but was ultimately amazed and inspired by her mother's strength and composure during such a difficult time.
This candid and moving post not only showcases the deep bond between Ankita Lokhande and her mother but also resonates with many who balance personal relationships with professional demands in today's fast-paced world.
