When Prakash Raj Spoke About His Mother
In a 2013 conversation with The Times of India, Prakash Raj had opened up about his bond with his mother. He said, "She is my queen and is with me wherever I go. She is an innocent soul who was brought up in an orphanage, as her mother died when she was 12 and her father was unable to take care of her. She became a nurse, which was when she met and fell in love with my father, who had been admitted as a patient."
He further shared that his parents got married, but his father did not wish to work and struggled with alcoholism, often disappearing for months after taking money from the household.
Despite these challenges, his mother chose to stay and raise the family together. He added that she brought up all four of them, remained a strong Roman Catholic, and worked tirelessly to support the family. He admired the way she faced life, helped her sisters get married, ensured her children received the best education she could afford, and continued to support those in need.
