As the world celebrates Mother's Day, ace Malayalam actor Mohanlal talks about the special person in his life.
Caught in the clutches of a disease, as my father slowly slipped into oblivion it was my mother who held his hand throughout. Normally, people are not even ready to take their relatives suffering from memory loss outside their home. But my mother ensured that my father did not miss out any function because of his illness and took him to all festive occasions. She patiently told him the same things over and over again. She even fed him like a child.

Holding on to her hand, my father listened earnestly as my mother explained even the little nuances of the movie.
