Bollywood actress Kajol recently made headlines not just for her stunning appearance but for her refreshingly honest take on parenting during the trailer launch of Renuka Shahane's film 'Uttar'. The event became particularly memorable as Kajol attended with her mother, veteran actress Tanuja, creating a beautiful mother-daughter moment that perfectly set the stage for the parenting discussion that followed.
Kajol's Honest Parenting Confessions
During the event, Kajol opened up about her relationship with her two children - Nysa Devgn and Yug Devgn - whom she shares with her husband of 26 years, Ajay Devgn. The acclaimed actress, known for her powerful performances in films like 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', revealed her unique perspective on handling conflicts with her children.
"Thank god my daughter is not here to answer this question," Kajol joked before getting serious about her parenting approach. "She will argue with me about it. It's absolutely true. It is necessary to have arguments between parents and children."
Why Arguments Are Actually Compliments
Kajol elaborated on why she considers disagreements with her children as positive signs rather than problems. The actress explained that such conflicts indicate successful parenting rather than failure.
"If we fight, we realise that we have raised a mind that argues with us and has a point of view of its own," she stated proudly. "So, we have raised our children to think for themselves. When they argue with me, I look at it as a compliment."
This perspective showcases Kajol's modern approach to parenting, where she values independent thinking and self-expression in her children rather than blind obedience.
Mother-Daughter Banter Steals the Show
The parenting discussion took a humorous turn when Kajol claimed she never argued with her own mother, Tanuja. The veteran actress was quick to call out her daughter's memory, immediately responding, "You did it all the time."
This light-hearted exchange between mother and daughter added warmth to the event and demonstrated that their relationship has evolved beautifully over the years.
Kajol made a striking fashion statement at the event, looking gorgeous in a black saree that perfectly complemented her elegance. On the professional front, the actress has been quite active with her recent appearances in the film 'Maa' and OTT releases including 'Sarzameen' and the second season of 'The Trial'.
Her candid conversation about parenting resonated with many, offering a refreshing take on mother-child relationships in an industry where such honest discussions are rare.
