Bollywood actor Kajol has opened up about her childhood and the way her parents — veteran actress Tanuja and filmmaker Shomu Mukherjee — handled their separation with dignity, placing the well-being of their daughters, Kajol and Tanisha, above all else.
In a recent interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, Kajol reflected on how her parents navigated their personal differences while ensuring that she and her sister never felt emotionally neglected or caught in the middle.
“I have to give kudos to them. My parents were very clear on one point that it does not matter if we are separated or not, but we will always be there together for you. The decisions we take for you will always be made together. We could not play them against one another. They were adults who behaved like mature people who would do the right things for their children.”
When asked if she understood the situation at the time, Kajol candidly admitted:
“I did. I questioned it at that time, but I understood it. As an adult today, I can take that call and understand how brave it was as well to take that decision on both their parts.”
Kajol’s Upcoming Projects:
The actress is currently promoting “Maa”, a mythological horror film directed by Vishal Furia, set to release in theatres on June 27.
Kajol will also be seen in the action-thriller “Maharagni—Queen of Queens”, directed by Charan Tej Uppalapati, featuring a star-studded cast including Naseeruddin Shah, Prabhu Deva, Jisshu Sengupta, and Aditya Seal.
Additionally, she stars in Karan Johar’s home production “Sarzameen”, alongside Ibrahim Ali Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, and will return for Season 2 of the legal drama series “The Trial”, continuing her trend of bold and diverse roles.
