Delbar Arya, too, expressed deep gratitude for the values and resilience her mother instilled in her, calling her the reason behind her confidence and strength.
In an emotional note, Palak shared, "If I've ever looked strong or fearless, it's only because my mom's had my back like a rock - quietly strong, always there, no drama. While I was out chasing auditions, figuring out who I am, she just said, 'Tujhe jo karna hai kar, baaki main dekh lungi.'
And that's exactly what she did. She's the one who's fought the real fights - with society, patriarchy, and people who thought they could say anything about me. I've never had to explain my choices because she fiercely does that for me. She cheers loudly, protects without being asked, and loves without condition. If I look invincible sometimes - it's because I was raised by her."

It was her mother's matter-of-fact clarity that helped her come to terms with the decision.

On the other hand, Delbar Arya shared her deep appreciation for her mother, calling her the guiding force behind her growth.

She's been my biggest critic, cheerleader, my mentor, best friend and my strongest support system. She's taught me to be fearless, focused, disciplined and not settle with my standards. Going beyond professions, she's brought me up to truly face life gracefully, without with being tainted.
Thanks to my upbringing and conditioning, no matter what the circumstances, I have learnt to not be a quitter."
