In the photo, Preity wore a rust coloured outfit while her mother wore a red dress. Jia was dressed in a white and pink frock with a band on her head while Jai opted for a plaid outfit. They posed inside their home in Mumbai.

Sharing the picture, Preity wrote, "I never understood why my mother called me so much, worried about me constantly & wanted to know my whereabouts, as I galavanted around the world as a teenager & an adult, till I became a mother. Now I’m beginning to understand it."

She added, "From thinking of myself first, to learning to put my kids first, I’m beginning to understand what motherhood is all about. It’s beautiful, empowering & a bit scary. I hope my children are more sensitive & appreciative of me than I was towards my mother."

"Irrespective, I will learn to love my kids more & expect less like all mothers & do everything I can, so they grow up to be the best versions of themselves. Happy Mother’s day to all the mothers out there - today, tomorrow & everyday. Loads of love n light #happymothersday #ma #family #ting," concluded her post.

Preity often shares pictures on Instagram giving a glimpse of her babies. On several occasions, she shared posts revealing that they were watching the IPL together. In March she shared a post featuring the babies lying on a bed with an IPL match playing on the TV. She had written, "New team, new Captain and new fans. Thank you @punjabkingsipl for such a fantastic run chase and for making Jai & Gia’s first IPL game so memorable. I cannot stop smiling. #Ting #Tataipl #ipl2022 #saddapunjab #aapajeetgaye."
