With Mother's Day around the corner, actresses Kangna Ranaut and Shraddha Kapoor, and director Abhishek Kapoor spent some quality time with their mothers at an event organised at a five star hotel in suburban Mumbai last evening.

The stars spoke about their moms at length as well.

Kangna revealed that if her mother Asha Ranaut had her way, she would have been married at the age of 16.

"My mother wanted me to get married at 16," Kangna said. "She felt that was the right age. This (marriage) was a talking point at my home. In fact, my brother is 22 years old and my mother feels he has crossed his marriageable age," she said.

The actress, who latest film Shootout At Wadala opened well at the box office, revealed that her mother would beat her with broom because she was a very naughty girl.
