Kajol is one of the celebrity mothers who prefer to be a hands-on-parent. We have seen her wonderful acting skills on the silver screen. Now let us have a look at her lifestyle as a mother of two kids Nysa and Yug.Kajol is a rarity in the cutthroat world of Bollywood where actors are constantly vying for attention in order to score meatier roles. At the height of her career, she got married to actor-filmmaker, Ajay Devgan, in 1999 and retreated from the world of glitz and glamour in order to concentrate on establishing a family. Touted as “India’s sweetheart”, Kajol now has two beautiful children – her daughter, Nysa, and her son, Yug.
After the birth of her first child, however, she returned to do a few selected roles in films like “Fanna”, “U Me Aur Hum”, “My Name is Khan” and “We Are Family”. Now that her children have grown up a bit, Kajol seems to be making a full-time comeback to Bollywood. She is already the face of numerous established brands and is present in the media circuit. Armed with a newfound classic sense of style and her fiery brand of
motherhood, Kajol seems to be making all the right moves.
Acting Post-Pregnancy
Kajol decided to do a few films after the birth of her children, but it was quite tough for her to return to a normal schedule in Bollywood. However, being a strong-willed person, she has succeeded admirably in her goal.
Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child
Kajol seems to be a firm proponent of hands-on
parenting. She has openly stated that she is rather strict with her kids, but does it for their own good. According to Kajol, her mother keeps on telling her that she is too hard on her children, but the bubbly actress responds that if she does not adopt a hard demeanour, her children will not learn the lessons, she wants to inculcate in them. Kajol supports her decision to be strict with her kids and believes that it is essential to teach
good habits to kids. It will help them grow up to be better human beings. She clearly states that as parents, it is their duty to teach children differentiate the right from the wrong for their benefit.
Hardships of Celebrity Motherhood
The mother of two states that being a
celebrity mom is not as easy as it appears to be. She literally had to micro-manage every single second of her time. She was forced to wake up earlier in the morning and finish her workouts before her children woke up. Then she had to ensure that they were prepared for school with proper care. Only after they had left could she begin her day of work.
Kajol and her husband have both done as much as they possibly can to take care of the children, protect them and keep them out of the limelight. She comments that this step is important at the end of the day in order to ensure that their children grow up to be normal. Kajol and hubby Ajay wants them to experience happiness as much as they can during their childhood.
Children and Films
Nysa does not like to watch any of her mother’s movies since she thinks Kajol cries too much in her films. Instead, she seems to prefer her dad’s films like “Golmaal”. In order to pacify her daughter, Kajol simply replies that she will think about it. However, she actually wishes that her children would watch her films like “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge”, “Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha” and “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” because she thinks these films are suitable for kids. However, Kajol believes that Yug is right now too young to be watching movies. She will allow him to watch films once he is older.
