Mumbai, India: Beyond the glitz and glamour of Bollywood, Kajol Devgan, one of India's most celebrated actresses, is first and foremost a devoted mother. In a candid and exclusive interview, Kajol opened up about her children, Nysa and Yug, their evolving personalities, and the profound impact they have had on her life, revealing her most significant parenting philosophy that keeps her grounded.

Kajol, who tied the knot with superstar Ajay Devgn in 1999, is a proud mother to daughter Nysa, born in 2003, and son Yug, born in 2010. While Nysa, 22, often garners media attention for her stylish appearances and is currently pursuing higher education abroad, Yug, 14, maintains a relatively private life.

"They are very much their own people": Kajol on Nysa and Yug's Individuality

Addressing the common question of whether her children are more attached to her or Ajay, Kajol responded with her characteristic wit, stating, "They are both my children, I want to tell you that. Ajay Devgn is stage pe nahin baitha hua hai. Bata du. So they are both, honestly, they are my kids, they are his kids, they are our kids. And I am very proud to say that they are very much their own people."

She recounted an endearing anecdote with her son Yug that perfectly encapsulates her children's strong individuality. "I remember asking Yug, 'Who do you want to look like? Me or papa? Tell me fast.' He looked at me like I was holding a gun to his head and very calmly said, 'I look like Yug. I am Yug.'" This moment, Kajol shared, deeply resonated with her and reinforced her belief in nurturing their unique identities.

Kajol's Biggest Teaching as a Parent: "To Think for Themselves"

The "Maa" actress, who is currently gearing up for her upcoming film, revealed her paramount teaching as a parent. "I'm very, very happy to say that I've brought up two individuals who have their own personalities, who I hope I've taught to think for themselves. That's been my biggest teaching as a parent." This philosophy underscores her commitment to raising independent and self-aware children, equipped to navigate the world on their own terms.

The Instant Transformation: "Mein Jabh Bhi Ghar Pahunchti Hu Toh…"

Kajol also shed light on how her role as a mother takes precedence the moment she steps into her home. "Mein jabh bhi ghar pahunchti hu toh my kids are more like 'mumma', there's the whining and the 'why didn't you do this and why didn't you do that' that starts up. Once I see them, I am only mom. There's no other character that I can play at that point of time." This relatable confession highlights the universal experience of parents, where professional identities dissolve into the pure, unadulterated role of a mother or father upon returning home.

Reflecting on her journey into motherhood, Kajol shared, "When Nysa was born, I felt like that's one exam I can't fail. I think my real-life performance has taken more out of me than any film will ever in my life demand of me." Her candidness about the immense responsibility and joy of parenting resonates deeply, offering a glimpse into the person behind the superstar.

Kajol's insights provide a refreshing perspective on celebrity parenting, emphasizing authenticity, individuality, and the unwavering dedication required to raise grounded children in the public eye. As Nysa continues her studies and Yug explores his interests (including a recent voice acting debut in "Karate Kid: Legends" alongside Ajay Devgn), it's clear that Kajol and Ajay have instilled in them the values of self-reliance and genuine self-expression.
