‘Mom Tane Nai Samjay’ starring Rashami Desai and Amar Upadhyay premiered digitally on ShemarooMe

There comes a moment in every child’s life when they feel, “Mom just won’t understand.” Her concern feels like interference, her questions like judgments, and her love too much. But was it really meddling? Or just a quiet attempt to protect us from storms we couldn’t yet, see?

Bringing this emotional dilemma to life with sincerity and depth, Mom Tane Nai Samjay, a Gujarati film that struck a chord with audiences during its theatrical run earlier this year, made its digital premiere on ShemarooMe on 24th July.

The film featured a powerful ensemble cast including Rashami Desai, Amar Upadhyay, Tejal Vyas, and Hemang Dave, and was set against the backdrop of a modern Indian family navigating life in a foreign land.

At its heart was the story of Aashka, portrayed with layered vulnerability by Rashami Desai a devoted mother whose unwavering love was often misunderstood and undervalued. Her children believed she interfered too much. Her husband felt she worried unnecessarily. What went unnoticed was the quiet strength it took to hold her family together and the loneliness that came with being taken for granted. It was only when Aashka stepped away that her absence made the family realise the true value of her presence and the countless sacrifices she had made for them.

Speaking about the film’s digital debut, Rashami Desai shared, “As an actor, I’ve always chosen scripts that challenge me. When I was offered the role of Aashka, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. Playing a mother, especially one as layered and emotionally rooted as her, was a bit of a challenge. But I had been wanting to step into a different genre for a while, and this role gave me that opportunity. A mother is the glue that holds a family together. Whether in joy or sorrow, through ups and downs she remains the emotional center. And when a well-educated, progressive woman chooses to become a homemaker, it’s a conscious decision. Priorities shift, but her commitment doesn’t. That’s what defines Aashka her family is her world.”

She further added, “I feel lucky to have played this character. Aashka’s role is carved with so much care and detail. For me, playing a mother who universally symbolizes selfless love was an emotionally fulfilling journey. Working with our director, Dharmessh Mehta sir, was a wonderful experience, and I’m fortunate to have shared the screen with such talented co-actors. This film is very close to all our hearts, and I believe the audience will connect deeply with the genuine emotions it carries. I’m glad it premiered on ShemarooMe, a platform known for its strong Gujarati content. So many people had been waiting to watch this film, and I’m happy it finally reached them.”

With its emotional depth, relatable family dynamics, and a message that lingers well beyond the final frame, Mom Tane Nai Samjay served as a heartfelt reminder that a mother’s love though often unspoken and misunderstood is always unconditional.
