This chapter exposes the unrealistic representations of mothering disabled children which sidetrack the social and institutional responsibility of caring for the disabled child. Looking at social support, gendered roles, and care in relation to parenting, this chapter destabilizes or crips the myth of the good mother. Analyzing Bollywood portrayals of disabled parenting in the movies Paa (2009) and Salaam Venky (2022), Chatterjee scrutinizes how Indian notions of care interact with social discourses, gendered expectations, and global practices of caregiving. She employs a multidisciplinary methodological framework, using tenets from a range of domains such as critical disability studies, motherhood studies, feminist ethics of care, and cultural studies. The chapter contributes to scholarship on parenthood by de-romanticizing and de-biologizing the concept of maternal care as instinctual, using the tools of care ethics formulated by feminist philosophers like Sara Ruddick, Eva Kittay, and Adrienne Rich.
