As people continue to practise social distancing and stay safe within the confines of their home, Mothers across the country have emerged as the real superheroes tirelessly navigating through home and work responsibilities and ensuring their child gets the best of everything. This Mother’s Day, Disney+ Hotstar has the perfect gift for all mothers who are dealing with the lockdown in their own unique way. With #MumKiShanti, Bollywood’s favourite moms agree that characters from the world of Disney+ Hotstar like Elsa, Simba, Aladdin, Mickey Mouse and others make for the best digital babysitter keeping young ones engaged. Genelia D’Souza, Soha Ali Khan and Shilpa Shetty took to social media to talk about how they have found an ingenious way to keep their kids busy with Disney+ Hotstar while they enjoy a much-needed break.

Shilpa Shetty Kundra said, ““Owing to my erratic working hours, I am grateful that the lockdown has given me more time to spend with my family, especially my kids, so I can’t complain. But, I do agree that sometimes it is an uphill task to manage 2 kids and keep my 7 yr old entertained through the day, for days on end considering we are very strict on screen time being on weekends only. On this Mother’s Day, characters from Disney+ have all aligned to help me and other moms relax, while “they” keep my child entertained. Thank you for this #mothersday gift and for being amazing #babysitters.”

Genelia Deshmukh said, “Being a mum is exhausting sometimes, and even more so in the current situation. So, I’m getting a babysitter for Riaan and Rahyl today – and no it’s not who you think it is. I am looking forward to Woody from Toy Story to keep the kids busy.”Soha Ali Khan added, “When one has super active kids, there aren’t many opportunities for Moms to be able to relax in the day. It's fantastic that Disney+ Hotstar has a wide range of shows – from stories about friendships, values, adventures to DIY Art & Crafts that can keep your children entertained. This Mother’s Day, as she hangs out with some of her favourite Disney characters, I plan to finally catch up on some reading”
