Bollywood actress Kajol gets candid about parenthood and her children, Nysa and Yug
Bollywood actress Kajol is all set to make her acting comeback in the Tamil film industry with Rajinikanth's daughter, Soundarya's 'VIP 2' co-starring Dhanush. Kajol, who will be seen playing a grey character in the film will be working in the Tamil industry after almost two decades. Kajol, who hails from a film family and made her acting debut at 18 recently revealed that her children have no acting aspirations.

Kajol revealed that her 13-year-old daughter, Nysa is going through a phase of 'no homework' and has not really thought about acting. Kajol said, "She has no aspirations towards anything right now because she is too young. She is right now leaning towards no homework and vegetating on the sofa. She is in that space and enjoying and acting isn't on her mind."

The mother-of-two, Kajol, further added that she loves being a mother, and believes that it is easier being an actress than a parent. "It is easier being an actress than a mother. It is difficult (being a mother) because it is a full-time job, you have to be mentally aware, be 100 percent there with your children at every moment. You learn new things from your kids every day even in the process of teaching them," the 'Dilwale' actress asserted.

Talking about how parents have to evolve with their kids, Kajol continued, "Over the years the kids don't change so much as your attitude towards them has to change. You have to start believing in your upbringing after a point. You have to believe you've done a good job so far, start trusting them to make the right decision."

When quizzed about her childhood, Kajol said, "Maybe because I came from a film family, I was never nervous, shy or blushed in front of celebrities. That's my personality. I was pretty much okay with most people. I never had the sense of being star struck."
