Happy Birthday Sharmila Tagore: Life lessons the veteran actor has imparted to her children.

One of most breathtaking actors from yesteryears, Sharmila Tagore is a name to reckon with in the industry. Not only is she a powerhouse of talent, the mother of three has also lived life with a lot of grace, warmth and charisma, choosing the path less trodden and emerging victorious at each point, both personally and professionally. As the evergreen Kashmir Ki Kali turns 78 today, here’s looking at how she has imparted some path-breaking life lessons for her kids

Sharmila Tagore’s oldest, actor Saif Ali Khan has often spoken about how his mother broke many stereotypes when she got married to his father, late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. Incidentally, the Bengali beauty delivered her biggest hits after tying the knot, such as Aradhana, Chupke Chupke, Amar Prem and many others, a feat unheard, and almost impossible to achieve in the 60s and 70s. Saif, while talking about his mother has often said that it was a revelation for those times.

Saif Ali Khan has also spoken about the fact that even though his mother was always working, he, along with his sisters Saba and Soha never felt that she was not around, since she so effortlessly managed to strike a balance between work and family. Calling his mother ‘inspirational’, Saif has also credited her for the innate ability to do it all, without losing her own individuality.

Apart from Saif, Sharmila Tagore’s daughters, Saba and Soha have also spoken about how she keeps the entire family together and is extremely grounded in her thoughts and ways. Not only her kids, even daughter-in-law Kareena Kapoor has always maintained that her mother-in-law has often advised her to follow her own path and stay confident, no matter what the situation is.
