New Delhi: Actor Manoj Bajpayee wrote a heartfelt note in remembrance of his late mother Geeta Devi. The actor described her as "an iron lady" on his Instagram post on Monday and said that his memories of her words of motivation will never fade.
Geeta Devi passed away last week at the age of 80. Bajpayee stated that he is a reflection of his mother. In the lengthy post, he remembered how she had taught in him the importance of ‘never giving up in the face of the most traumatic circumstances'.
"A tribute to an IRON LADY, my Mother! That’s what I call her! A Mother of six children and wife to the most gentleman farmer! She protected her family from all the evil eyes and intentions of this unforgiving world and supported her husband in fulfilling every child’s needs while sacrificing her own dreams. She was an alpha woman who ruled her world with an unflinching eye! Wish I could go back in time to see my mother grow into the amazing strong-headed individual that she was," Manoj Bajpayee wrote in the post.
"She taught me the value of never giving up in the face of the most traumatic circumstances and fight it out till the sun sets! Her efforts, sacrifices, selfless love, & hard work has shaped what we have become today. She is a forever friend who has been a pillar of strength every step of the way," he added.
"You and Babuji will always reside in our hearts. I have been so blessed and fortunate to have you as my mother. Mai, until we meet again," the actor concluded.
