So affection is a genuine love towards ur parents if its free from the ego no or yes strictest answer possible

Strict answer: No.

In Jain Dharma, affection for parents is usually seen as attachment (rāga / mamata), not pure, ultimate love. Even if it is free from ego, it can still remain bondage if there is possessiveness, dependence, or emotional clinging.

Pure Jain love is:

• without ego
• without possessiveness
• without expectation
• rooted in compassion and goodwill

So, for the strictest Jain answer: affection toward parents is not fully “genuine love” in the highest sense; it is worldly attachment, though it can be respectful and gentle.
