You are raising someone to forget you: Smriti Irani on 'tragic beauty of being a mother'

Actor-turned-politician Smriti Irani reflected on motherhood, saying, "It's a job that's well done only when the kid doesn't need you anymore, and that's the most heartbreaking thing." "It's a tragic beauty of being a mother that you're raising someone to let them go. You're raising someone to forget you. You're raising someone who'll never need you again," she added.
