Kajol reveals why she and daughter Nysa often fight at the dinner table, says 'most fights...'
Kajol is a legendary actress from the 90s, who is known for her stellar performances in films like Baazigar (1993), Yeh Dillagi (1994), Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998). She began her career in 1992 with the movie Bekhudi. Eventually, she tied the knot with superstar Ajay Devgn. Kajol is the mother of Nysa and Yug Devgan. She has shared that she often has disagreements with her children. Kajol mentioned that her experience of motherhood has consistently been one of learning. There are moments when she feels a bit lost. Kajol's Disagreements With Her Little Ones
Recently, Kajol recounted a disagreement she had with her kids during dinner, stating, 'There have been multiple instances when I reflect back, particularly concerning food. I must tell you that most of the fights between my children and me have taken place at the dining table. So yes, there have been numerous discussions at the dinner table, but at one moment, I realized that Nysa looked at me and said, 'Mom, just relax. I know what I'm doing, and when I feel hungry, I will eat.'
In the interview, Kajol expressed that her children often remind her, in just a word or two, that she can sometimes be mistaken, which catches her off guard. She was astonished to discover that she could truly gain a lot of insights from her children. She remarked, 'It caught me off guard. I turned around and realized that I can learn from them. Now I am accustomed to it, but that part of me that turned around to learn from my children in small ways has remained within me. I don't mean to sound arrogant when I assert that I am a good mother. However, there are times I become a better person because my children have taught me to improve.' 'I Have Learned How To Stay…'
Kajol continued, saying, 'At first, I used to be very concerned about whether my daughter was eating. Nysa was in boarding school and went to London, where she is thriving. Kajol believes her daughter is happy and making progress, so she has made the right choice. As a mother, Kajol has picked up the ability to remain calm and not stress about whether Nysa is eating or not. This is because she has learned the art of staying composed from her young daughter, who understands her mother's worries. Kajol elaborated, 'She will eat when she is hungry, or she might do something else. So I needed to stay calm about it, you know? And as an adult, she must learn, and she will find her way to do so at some point. That's it. I have gained a lot from our mealtime experiences. A lot.'

Kajol reveals Shah Rukh Khan was rude and mean to her during the shoot of 'Baazigar': 'I was not even 18 at that time...'
Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan are one of the most celebrated duos both on screen and off screen for their great camaraderie and believable on-screen presence. But the actress has now revealed that their first meeting was not as smooth as it is today. Kajol about Shah Rukh Khan 's first reaction to her Kajol shared that during the filming of Baazigar in 1992, both Shah Rukh and she had different energies. In a chat with Radio Nasha, Kajol said, 'First of all, I was not even 18 at that time—around seventeen and a half years old. We were shooting on January 1. Shah Rukh likes to shoot on that day. Saal ke pehle din shooting karo toh poore saal karte ho.' Shah Rukh Khan Surprises Sitaare Zameen Par Cast | Aamir Called Him 10 Times! Kajol's energy on set Kajol was the only one buzzing with excitement after a full night's rest, while the whole set was tired from the celebrations. She recounted how her talkative nature kicked in while others preferred silence. But her attempt to engage Shah Rukh in conversation didn't go as planned. Kajol recalled sitting beside him and playfully questioning his serious demeanour. However, SRK wasn't amused. 'Can you please shut up for a minute? Somebody shut her up, for God's sake,' he said. Kajol remembered feeling taken aback and called it 'so rude and mean' at the time. But later the duo developed a strong friendship. 'Of course, that led to a great friendship. I don't think he even remembers half of it,' she said. Kajol about Shah Rukh Khan pinching her to make correct reaction in a scene The conversation also touched on a memorable scene in Baazigar that required a touch of sensuality. Kajol was unsure how to portray that role as she was just 18. She admitted struggling with the shot until choreographer Saroj Khan stepped in with a quirky solution. 'Saroj ji said that you have to suddenly feel 'aah'. It has to be an expression of sensuality. I told her I don't understand,' she said. Kajol revealed that SRK was asked to pinch her during the scene to help her deliver the right expression. She added that over the years, both she and SRK have shared many such goofy and spontaneous moments on set. Kajol's work front Kajol is preparing for the release of her upcoming horror film Maa, which is set to arrive in cinemas on June 27.

Anupam Kher says Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol's 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' would not work for today's audience: 'Now it's like, fall in love today, and have s*x the next day...'
Veteran actor Anupam Kher is gearing up for the release of his upcoming movie 'Metro... In Dino' alongside Neena Gupta. In a recent interview, Anupam shared his thoughts on the changing portrayal of love in cinema. The actor feels that Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol 's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge may not be accepted if it were originally released today. Anupam Kher about how the portrayal of love has changed in movies During a conversation with India Today, Anupam reflected on how the portrayal of love in films has changed over time, noting that cinema mirrors societal shifts — from the songs and language to how love is expressed. He added that earlier films carried a certain kashish (appeal) and emotional longing that is often missing today. 'In those times, we never used to speak directly. Falling in love took time. Even going to bed with someone wasn't immediate — first love, then marriage, then sex . Now it's like, fall in love today, and have sex the next day. There's nothing wrong with it, I'm not judging. But that's how it's shown now,' he stated. Anupam Kher Finds Monsoon Peace With Kishore's Tunes Anupam Kher says Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge will not work for today's audience He wishes to watch a movie that has a certain appeal to it. He feels Sanjay Leela Bhansali 's Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was such a beautiful romantic film as it had all of these elements in it. He is unable to recall any good romantic films released in recent times, as he feels all of them have a sort of restlessness. But Anupam also admitted that society has changed a lot and that old-school love stories may not work for today's audience. Anupam cited Shah Rukh and Kajol's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge as an example and stated that it would not work for today's audience the way it did in the past. 'Today, it works because of its nostalgic value. But if it were made for the first time now, it wouldn't have had the same impact. Just like Gone with the Wind — if it were made today, it wouldn't resonate the same way. Times have changed, life has changed. Back then, in the late '90s and earlier, we had stories of couples eloping. But DDLJ was the first time when the hero said, 'I will convince your father. Only then will we marry.' That was new. The father tells his son, 'You failed in London? Good. We've all failed in India too.' These were fresh, grounded characters,' he revealed. About Metro... In Dino Metro... In Dino, starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Sara Ali Khan, will hit theatres on July 4.
