Dear Rohail Bukhari:

You do not have your mother’s approval. What you have is her disapproval. It is natural for a child, minor or adult, to need and want the parent’s approval. But you don’t have it.

Better stop trying to get it.

Better stop aiming at it. Best you can, distance yourself from her emotionally. Look at her as a person who disapproves of you. For your need to be approved of, aim at being approved of by someone else. Not her.

Can you do that, give up (over time, starting with forming the intent) on ever getting her approval?
