Being a mother is, 'wonderful, beautiful, glorious. I can't find the perfect adjective for it,' says Bollywood's most famous mother, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
She's not alone to feel this way. Most moms echo her sentiments and make it seem effortless with their ever-sparkling appearances and unconditional dedication to their kids.
Be it work, family or commitments, the filmi mom can juggle it all and still find time to look like a million bucks.
We celebrate Mother's Day by paying tribute to the glorious, glamorous mommies of Bollywood.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Like her wedding to Abhishek, her motherhood too is a hot subject for news channels with every camera clamoring to capture a glimpse of the golden child, Aaradhya.
But the composed Ash is too preoccupied attending to her daughter's needs to care. The hands-on mom prefers to spend time around her baby instead of immediately getting back to films or hastily lose weight, enjoying every aspect of motherhood to perfection.
Shilpa Shetty

One of the most fitness conscious stars of Bollywood and Rajasthan Royals co-owner, Shilpa Shetty got back into shape in less than a year after giving birth to son, Viaan Raj Kundra.
The mother-son duo recently debuted on the cover of Hello! Magazine.
Lara Dutta

The no-fuss Lara Dutta loves to tweet about her fun activities with adorable daughter Saira.
And while she's hestitant about spending time away from her kid, the actress made an exception to do a small role post-motherhood in Bejoy Nambiar's David.
Kajol

From doing movies to raising kids, Kajol is quite adept at the balancing act even though being a mom to Nysa and Yug, according to the We Are Family star, is both 'tiring' and 'fulfilling.'
The glow in her newly revamped style reveals she's more content than exhausted.
Raveena Tandon

The Mast Mast beauty smoothly juggles between her professional commitments to find quality time for daughter Rasha and son, Ranbir.
And boy does she look good as ever?
Karisma Kapoor

Raveena's co-star of Andaz Apna Apna and Aatish, Karisma Kapoor too is a wonder mom when it comes to catering to Kiaan and Samaira's needs.
The actress, who takes up selective projects, is completely devoted to saving all the attention for her little ones.
Sridevi

Sridevi took a really long break from movies to concentrate on family and motherhood.
Today, of course, the English Vinglish star is frequently spotted accompanied by her equally fashionable teenage daughters --Jahnvi and Khushi -- with a smile that is both proud and accomplished.
Chitrangda Singh
Chitrangda Singh made a splash in movies after Hazaron Khwahishen Aisi only to prioritise her role as mother with newborn, Zorawar.
The sleek beauty is now back facing the camera with a vengeance while shuttling between Delhi and Mumbai to fulfill her mommy duties.
Twinkle Khanna

The elegant daughter of Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia never had any Bollywood ambitions, preferring to concentrate on her interior designer skills instead.
She and hubby Akshay Kumar are happily raising their kids Aarav and Nitara, in a healthy, sporty, non-filmi atmosphere.
Madhuri Dixit
The dazzling Madhuri Dixit is back in India with her grown-up bundles of joy, Arin and Ryan in tow.
The committed mother is making sure her kids adjust to a life in India while she pursues her passion for acting.
Kiran Rao

Filmmaker Kiran Rao and actor Aamir Khan celebrated their son, Azad's first birthday with a lot of pomp.
The Dhobi Ghat director, who had a surrogate baby, is now gearing up to begin work on her next.
Sonali Bendre

Sonali Bendre makes motherhood seem so easy.
She finds all the time to bring up her boy, Ranveer while playing judge in a series of reality-based talent shows and still look ravishing as ever.
Malaika Arora Khan

With her perfect 10 on 10 figure and exuded oomph in chartbuster item songs, few would believe Malaika Arora Khan is mother to the 10-year-old Arhaan.
Her handsome boy has already made quite a few public appearances with his celebrity mom on the ramp and red carpet.

Sushmita Sen

Bollywood's coolest single mom may not have done any significant movies in a while.
But when it comes to making an impact in her role as mother to Renee and Alisah, Sushmita Sen always hits the right note.
Gauri Khan

While her superstar husband Shah Rukh Khan pampers his children Aryan and Suhana to his heart's content, wife Gauri strives to create a stable atmosphere in a celebrity household.
Given how well behaved and publicity-shy the kids are, the stylish star wife has done a swell job.
Sussanne Roshan
Like Gauri, Sussanne Roshan is dedicated to bringing up her cute boys -- Hrehaan and Hridhaan -- without the glitz of Bollywood and interference of paparazzi influencing their young minds.
At the same time, she's more than Mrs Hrithik Roshan with her flourishing lifestyle store and interior design assignments. Quite commendable, right?
