Women’s day is not just the day where we celebrate the success of women but celebrate women who have gone those extra miles to set an example for many. Actor Taha Shah Badussha got emotional remembering the battles his mother Mahnaz Badushah fought to raise him and his elder brother.
The talented actor made his debut opposite Shraddha Kapoor in, ‘Luv Ka The End’ and paved his way slowly into the industry. Actor Taha Shah Badussha was last seen alongside actress Daisy Shah in ‘Ekk Vari’ music video that had an amazing reach. Taha becoming an actor in Bollywood has a lot to do with his mother’s relentless effort and Taha is completely vocal about it. Despite being a single mother with 2 sons to take care of in the UAE through the early 90’s, she made sure to give the best to her kids who are now at a stage where the world looks at them.
Taha who is very close his mom, penned an emotional letter where he wrote, “As a single mother, you had the guts then, as you have now, to make the boldest decisions for our family, all while raising us in a country that was fairly new to you. You started off as a nurse and then worked as a biochemist on AIDS research in the Middle East and realising it wasn’t enough to keep us going, you jumped on to Marble trade, Real Estate and Manpower businesses that were usually associated with men at the time, studying the tradecraft, when not working 18 hours in the soaring heat. ”
He further added, “When I look back at the yesteryears of your work, all I know is the comforts I have, the freedom I enjoy and the expensive career choices I have made in the entertainment industry have been possible only, and only because you did what it took. You are our Oracle Mama; you saw what we never imagined and had more confidence in our abilities as children than we did. You have inspired not just an entire family but created a perception in our upbringing about how much more powerful, physically and mentally, a Woman is and can be.”
He ends the note saying “This 8th Day of March, I celebrate you and millions of women who work 10 times harder to get to a pedestal that we as a society have created as a benchmark of achievement. You broke the glass ceiling Mama! Love you!”
On the work front, Taha Shah Badussha has an exciting lineup of films, Web Series and music videos, etc. The actor will soon reveal as and when the time is right.
