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.'

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.

Earlier, there was a certain kashish (appeal), a longing in romance.'Recalling the old days of cinema, he added, '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.' Kher expressed his yearning for romantic films, 'I'm longing to see a love story where there's a certain amount of kashish. That's why I felt Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was such a beautiful romantic film — Sanjay Leela Bhansali captured that essence so well. It had all of that.."advertisementHe continued with a rhetorical pause, asking, 'But now, there's a certain ghabrahat (restlessness). Where is the beauty of a romantic film anymore? Tell me — what was the last truly romantic film you saw? Exactly. asked why love stories were easier to tell in the past, he responded, 'Samaaj badal gaya hai (society has changed). Films reflect society. If you make an old-school love story now, maybe only a few people will go watch it.'When asked if 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' released for the first time in 2025, would it have worked Anupam said, " No, I don't think it would. 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.

Now, things are different."And yet, he believes love as an emotion has endured — it's just the expressions that have shifted. 'Love, at its core, may remain the same — but the way we express, portray, and understand it changes with every generation.' You May Also Like

Yash ji, you are very much in our memories, and it was an honour to work with you.' Parmeet added, 'I debuted twice with Yash ji. The first was as an actor in DDLJ, and the second was as a filmmaker, with Badmaash Company. He's my godfather.' Parmeet proceeded to kiss the statue on the side.

Kajol recalls the time she lost faith in God: 'It wasn't easy. I was really struggling...'
Kajol In an emotional chat with Bollywood Bubble, actress Kajol reminisced about a very personal moment of her life, one in which her belief in a higher power briefly escaped her. A known strong woman both in and out of reality, the actress openly shared how she had ended up doubting everything she stood for following a painful ordeal she had decided against sharing in detail. 'Why did this have to happen at all?" When asked whether she had ever questioned the existence or justice of God, Kajol did not hesitate to say that she had. "Yes, absolutely," she said. "There was a moment where everything I believed in, all my 'shraddha' and praying, seemed not to count." She explained how this was not a feeling of "why me? but a deeper, more existential type of confusion. The actress was left wondering why this could happen to her despite her complete commitment. The 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' actress clarified that her spiritual disillusionment lasted for around a week. It was a period of queries, melancholy, and emotional stress. "It wasn't easy. I was really struggling," she acknowledged. But as the days went by, Kajol started to get back on her feet and look for meaning in the mayhem. "I thought perhaps there was a reason.
