Here is all you need to know about the mother-daughter bond:

• The Dilwale star became the single mother of two adopted daughters- Chaya Tandon and Pooja Tandon.
• Both the Tandon's were adopted in the year 1995, Chaya being eight-year-old at the time and Pooja being 11-year-old at the time.
• After tying knots with Anil Thandani in the year 2004, both the daughters found a father and later, two more siblings, Rasha Thandani and Ranbir Thandani.
• Chaya tied the knot with Shawn Mendes, who is based in Goa, in the year 2016 while she was 21-year-old at the time. The marriage witnessed a blend of Hindu and Catholic culture.
• Tandon went against odds to adopt two children at the age of 21 after being driven by the desire to provide a better future to them. Both of the foster kids are no quite successful in their respective career, Chaya being an air hostess and Pooja being an event manager.
• Tandon quoted, "When my cousin passed away he left behind Chaya and Pooja. I didn’t like the way their guardian was treating them so I took them home with me. I didn’t think much of it. It came naturally to me. I wanted to give the girls the life they deserved. I’m not a multibillionaire but I do what I can to help."
• Acknowledging the fact that it was difficult for her to become a mother at such a young age, she said that she never had any second thoughts or regret about her decision. Moreover, she finds herself grateful to her parents for supporting her in her decision.
