He accepts that having her mother guiding him by his side is good, but he wants to shape his path.
His mother faced lots of challenges because of society. She had to hide her bump as the aunties used to tell her that she was gaining weight when she came to Manchester.
The next time she was in front of them, she had a baby and got questions like, "Whose Baby is this"? She used to get a lot of hateful comments from them. She did not get afraid and took a stand for herself about her choice.
The mother and son share a close bond. They are also each other's greatest supporters and love spending time together.
