According to Companies Act, 2013, a director is a person who is in charge of the affairs of a company. It can be related to anything and everything. A director is appointed through the voting procedure by the shareholders of the company. Therefore, a shareholder may not be necessarily a director in a Pvt. Limited Company.
In my opinion you can remove your parents from directorship in accordance with Section 284 of the Companies Act, 2013 and they still can own as many numbers of shares in your company. Please note that as per law a Pvt. Limited Company should have minimum 2 directors.
