Sons are the anchors of a mother’s life. Just like daughters share a lovely bond with her father, similarly, sons are close to their mothers. We always talk about the bond between a daughter and a father and praise how daughters consider their fathers to be her superheroes. Similarly, a mother also considers her son to be the anchor of her life. They share an unspoken relationship with each other which is full of love, respect and compassion.
When someone from the family is hurt or going under the knife, our hearts sink and we pray for their speedy recovery. We don’t want anything to happen to our loved ones, especially our parents. In the scariest of our dreams, we don't want anything bad to happen to them. Shakti Arora’s mother recently underwent a knee surgery and her son is all praises about his mother’s bravery.

The Silsila Badalte Rishton ka actor, Shakti Arora, on September 21, 2019, took to his Instagram handle and shared a picture with his mother, Renu from the hospital. Praising his mother’s bravery at this stage, he wrote, “After her knee replacement surgery. I have never seen her in a hospital in my lifetime n I hope and pray I never see you in a hospital again. I must say after seeing u go through so much you are a fighter. You are very brave. Like they say my daddy strongest. I can proudly say my mommy strongest too..@renuarora #mom,” followed by a heart emoji.
In a media interaction once, Shakti's mother was all-praises about her son. She was quoted as saying, "Nahi nahi bahut caring hai aur feel krwata hai mujhe ki I am too young though I have two big daughters and him. And he gives lots of love. Bahut care krta hai meri and I hope ki aisa hi rahe. He is like a friend. He can tell anything under the sun. Jo bhi ho mujhe sab btata hai. And I know each and everything. He is much closer to me than his father."
And then Shakti had gone on to talk about his mother and had retorted, "I really respect my mother for she is very educated. She is a doctor - pathologist." Further adding humour to it, he had said, "And she has such love kids, me, I am an actor and my two elder sister, who are both doctors. Sath hi sath when she was practicing pathology, she was also taking care of her children and my father aur ghar bhi sambhal rai thi aur unhone bahut bakhoobhi nibhaya. Uske sath sath hume bahut pyar diya."

Shakti Arora also shares a lovely connection with his wife, Neha Saxena. Shakti and Neha had first met on the sets of the show, Tere Liye, where they had portrayed the role of an onscreen couple. They had initially become friends and their chemistry had become the talk of the town. Talking about the same, Neha had once said, “We had amazing chemistry on the show. We also became good friends. People would ask us if we were together. But nothing was brewing between us then.”
A friend is always by your side when you are at the lowest of your phase and the same had happened with Shakti. Shakti was going through a rough phase after his breakup and Neha was there, holding him and supporting him. During that time, the couple had realised their feelings and talking about the platonic love, Shakti had once revealed, “We realised we liked each other. Yet, it took me around a year to actually convey my feelings to her. We shared a platonic relationship until then.” (Suggested Read: Sanjay Kapoor Reveals Sharing Screen Space With Sonam In 'The Zoya Factor' Deepened Their Relation)
On April 6, 2018, Shakti Arora had taken to his Instagram handle and shared the news of their marriage. He had shared a picture from their wedding and had written, “Together is a wonderful place to be.” He had later revealed the details about their wedding and had said, “We had the haldi ceremony in the morning and pheras in the evening. It was a private affair with only our immediate families in attendance. Both of us have been relatively free over the past few months and so, decided to take the plunge. It seemed like the perfect time, as I am planning to take up something soon and will become busy.”
In a throwback interview, Shakti Arora had shared what he loves the most in his wifey, Neha Saxena and had said, “I am in love with Neha. I love spending time with her. Her sense of humour is what I like the most about her and, of course, her cuteness!” On April 24, 2019, Shakti Arora had taken to his Instagram handle and had wished Neha Saxena on her birthday. He had shared a picture with Neha and had written,” My favourite place in all the world is next to you. @nehaasaxena Happy birthday.” To this, his wifey had replied, “Thank you honey miss being there with you.”
Rumours about Shakti and Neha’s breakup were all over the internet before their wedding. In a throwback interview with the Bombay Times, Shakti had cleared the air and had said, “All is well with us. I have become thick-skinned, and rumours about my split, marriage and kids don’t affect me anymore. It’s part and parcel of this profession. I won’t let my personal life overshadow my work; that’s the reason I am averse to reality shows as well, they put your personal life on display. If at all I take up a reality show, it will be to showcase my talent.” (Must Read: Vicky Kaushal Shares How His Parents React To His Linkup Rumours, Finally Talks About Katrina Kaif)
