Kajol: Between Ajay and me, I am the tough parent

Kajol and Ajay Devgn are power couple of Bollywood, they have two beautiful children Nysa and Yug. But when it comes to the tough one between Ajay and her she is the toughest parent at home. This is something that Ajay had shared in an earlier interview while talking about his wife of almost two decades.


Kajol agrees to this and said, “Yes, he is very much true in saying that. I am the tough parent. But I have to say that he backs me up whenever I need to be backed up, so that’s good parenting.”


They have sent Nysa to Singapore for higher studies, last year, “It’s really difficult for any parent to be separated from your children, but at the end of the day, it’s for their own good. It was very, very tough for me, but not as tough as it was probably for Ajay because I have myself studied in a boarding school away from home. Even my mom (veteran actor Tanuja) and sister (Tanishaa Mukerji) have studied in boarding schools... As parents, we have to do such things throughout our lives... things that are beneficial for them, even though it is painful for us.”


Does Kajol worry that growing up with these exposures can make star kids mature earlier than their peers? “I don’t know if the attention makes them mature too much [before time], but yes, they need to put their guard up, for their privacy, which they are entitled to [even as star kids], and freedom up to a certain point.”


The actress says she would be supportive of Nysa’s choices, “I would be supportive of Nysa in whatever she chose to do in life. I have never been restrictive of whatever she wants to do, even up to now.”
