Mumbai, May 7 (IANS): Ahead of Mother's Day on Sunday, actors Ali Fazal, Tusshar Kapoor and Kartik Aaryan have showered praise on their mothers, who have given them support and love.

For Ali, his mother was his "pillar" of strength. 

"My mother was my pillar since I lived and spent time with her while my father was out working in another country. We needed each other. She has had tough times in her life, but she never showed it," Ali said. 

"My morning tiffin would be ready before school and many a times she was unwell, on medication and still she would drop me to school. It's what makes me humble and strong today," the "Fukrey" actor added. 

Tusshar, who was last seen onscreen in Milap Zaveri's "Mastizaade", says nobody can replace his mother. 

"Mother is a friend, a confidante and a great source of encouragement! I feel guilty that I don't give her enough time anymore, but we both know that we will always be there for each other, no matter what! No one can replace my mom," he said. 

"Mom made sure she gave my sister Ekta (Kapoor) and I enough time despite the hectic life of a star wife! It was a normal, fun, yet simple childhood only because of her! I would always want to be reborn as her son!" Tusshar added. 

Kartik, who was last seen onscreen in "Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2", says he is very close to his mother. 

"I am very close to her even though she is all the way back in my hometown. We speak every day. I share everything with her. My parents are my biggest support system, especially my mom," he said.
