Mom special: This Mother’s Day, step aside brunch and carnations… it’s time to celebrate the leading ladies of our lives the Bollywood way! Taking cues from some of our favourite mom-daughter duos – think Shilpa Shetty and her wellness-savvy mom, or Raveena Tandon and her spiritually inclined daughter Rasha Thadani – this season is all about crafting unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re seeking stillness in the Himalayas or a five-star staycation with room service on speed dial, TheGlitz has curated a fabulous round-up of getaways where mamas and their mini-me’s (no matter the age!) can bond, binge, and bliss out in style.

Mom in Tow: Sacred Sanctuaries: Spiritual with a Side of Soul-Searching

Raveena Tandon and her daughter Rasha Thadani recently completed their pilgrimage to all 12 Jyotirlingas, Hindu shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva, in India. Their journey concluded with a visit to the Nageshwar Jyotirlinga in Gujarat, where Rasha expressed her gratitude and joy. Rasha, who made her Bollywood debut with “Azaad,” had expressed a desire to visit all 12 Jyotirlingas, and this pilgrimage fulfilled her spiritual goal. 

So if you’ve ever scrolled past Raveena Tandon and Rasha’s 12 Jyotirlinga pilgrimage and thought, “We should do a spiritual getaway with mom of course… albeit without those filmi Gucci sneakers,” you’re not alone. Spiritual getaways are the new luxury, and India’s holiest cities… from Varanasi’s ghats to the magnetic valleys of Kumaon… are buzzing with divine energy and Instagrammable backdrops.

The Kumaon

Wander through temple-strewn trails, take part in age-old rituals, or simply sip chai while discussing life, karma, and whether or not your aura needs cleansing. The cherry on top? These trips double as digital detoxes (sorry, Netflix), giving moms and daughters a rare chance to talk without a screen between them.

Mindful Escapes: Channeling Your Inner Shilpa Shetty

If your idea of bonding involves green juice, sound baths, and Instagram Lives in activewear, then wellness retreats are your love language. Inspired by Shilpa Shetty’s holistic holidays with her mother, these rejuvenating hideaways offer yoga at sunrise, spa sessions with a side of silence, and meals that are as photogenic as they are healthy.

Whether you escape to the sun-drenched shores of Kerala for an Ayurvedic detox or check into a plush Himalayan retreat that promises to balance your chakras and your calendar, one thing’s for sure, you’ll return tighter, lighter, and infinitely more zen.

Adventure-Fueled Fun: For the Wild at Heart

Let’s be honest, not every mom dreams of silence and scented oils. Some prefer jet skis over journaling, and hiking boots over hotel slippers. If this sounds familiar, pack your bags (and matching bikinis) for an adrenaline-packed getaway à la Masaba and Neena Gupta, who are known for their trailblazing mother-daughter adventures.

Kandima Maldives

Think Maldives with its jet-ski thrills, scuba escapades, or even a zip-lining experience in Rishikesh if you’re staying closer to home. Go ahead, chase waterfalls, scale summits, or swim with the fish. You’ll come back with more than just suntans… you’ll have stories worth retelling for decades.

City Staycations: Luxe, Lazy, and Lovely

Pressed for time? Say hello to the city staycation… the ultimate fix for busy schedules and fabulous last-minute plans. Picture this: a suite at The Claridges New Delhi, robes, room service, and a mother-daughter Netflix binge followed by spa indulgences that feel like a five-star hug.

After you’ve been scrubbed, soaked, and soothed, venture out to explore the hotel’s exquisite culinary scene or sip champagne at high tea while discussing everything from skincare to scandal. No airports. No queues. Just plush pillows, spa slippers, and memories in the making.

The Final Word: ‘Mom’ma Mia, Let’s Make Memories!

This Mother’s Day, ditch the clichés and do it your way. Whether it’s a sacred spiritual journey, a yoga-filled retreat, a splashy tropical adventure, or a chic hotel hideout, the real gift is uninterrupted time together. Because let’s face it… diamonds may be forever, but laughing over a botched scuba dive or crying during a sunrise aarti? That’s the kind of sparkle that never fades.

So grab your mom (or your daughter), pack a bag with equal parts style and sass, and go make some reel-worthy magic. Because nothing says “I love you” like a shared adventure, a couple of cocktails, and a wellness retreat that leaves you glowing, inside and out.

Luxury, they say, lies in the details. The hand-stitched seam, the precise curve of a heel, the shimmer of something well-made and hard-earned. So, when global fashion house Prada recently unveiled a pair of elegant, Kolhapuri-inspired sandals priced at a cool ₹1.6 lakhs, it naturally turned heads. But the real artisans behind this form... the ones who've been crafting Kolhapuris for generations in dusty workshops with quiet precision, were nowhere in sight. Not in the credits, not in the story, not even in the footnote.
