Gai Stuff: Riteish Deshmukh at his mother's dairy farm in Babalgaon, Latur

Riteish elaborates, "My mother's dairy farm in Babalgaon, Latur, is just starting off.u00a0 It's something she has done completely on her own and it's almost a movement for women especially for those who stay at home and have a cow.

I was taken aback when I heard about mom's dairy farm because she has always been a housewife. But I am happy that mom is doing something so special after so many years.

I visited it last week when I went to Latur. It's called Sai Dairy. Normally, mothers are proud of their children, but this time she has made her children extremely proud."
