A mother and daughter’s earnest camaraderie? Who doesn’t love that? Neena Gupta and Masaba Gupta’s chemistry and bond, slightly fictionalized in Netflix’s biographical drama Masaba Masaba is one of the show’s best highlights. Although there’s only one season of the show yet, you can still give this a go. The show is funny, entertaining, and again one of the best things to watch on a Mother’s Day.

Kehne Ko Humsafar Hain is one of the most poignant dramas on ALTBalaji. The show has been running for three seasons now and has struck a chord with its audience.

Pushpavalli is another show on Amazon Prime that has the best mother-daughter chemistry. Although, this one features more of the mother taunting the daughter and the daughter constantly lying to her to get out of messy situations. Now isn’t that a little relatable? Well, it is indeed. This is a show that you can absolutely enjoy with your mother and is pretty clean. However, it does get dark by the end of its first season. The show has 2 seasons and 16 episodes.
