Sonam Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor

Sonam’s mum Sunita is a jewellery designer and runs health clubs. At a jewellery week last year, Sonam walked the ramp for her mother. "She doesn’t like to be in the glam world, she feels awkward.

Sushmita Sen and Subhra Sen

Subhra Sen is a jeweller with five (three in Dubai, one in Delhi and one in Kuwait).

John’s mom Firoza has been involved in charity work for years, especially in aid of cancer patients. Talking about his special bond with mom, John was quoted as saying, "Thank god I have someone like my mother who devotes more time to children, animals and old age homes ... she’s the best mother one can have. I have to credit my mom for teaching me how to be more caring towards the less privileged."

Katrina Kaif and Suzanne Turquotte

Suzanne has always been involved in charity work towards betterment of women, and now has a charitable trust. Talking about her mom, Katrina, who has been helping her with that, was quoted as saying, "I’m happy that my mom is so involved in education and charity. I’m feel lucky that my mother makes sure my charitable donations are used in the best way."
