What is Grandmother (or mother) doing?
Explanation:
Baa in Gujarati is actually spoken more to refer GRANDMOTHER
Maa OR Mammy in Gujarati is spoken more to mean MOTHER

However, in villages or remote places the language changes and at some places BAA is also used to refer MOTHER.

Baa = Grandmother, Mother
Shun = What
Kare Chhe = is doing?

If source in Gujarati is ...
BAA SU (or SHUN) KAREESH?

Then English equivalent is...
what would you do, Grandmother?
