'There's been 17 years since Kaanta Laga and I can't believe it. It just seems like yesterday. Well, Kaanta Laga happened to me absolutely by chance. I was chilling outside my college, and the directors of the video, Radhika Rao and Vinay Sankar, they spotted me there, and they offered me the song. What I just did for fun, and a little bit of pocket money, it just completely changed my life. They were like fairy godmothers.

Kajol on paparazzi culture: Nysa was too young when paps began chasing her
Actor Kajol recently got candid about the constant scrutiny has impacted her children, Nysa and Yug. Sharing her perspective on paparazzi culture and online trolling, the actor spoke about the importance of open conversations at home, and how she's taught her children to focus on what truly a conversation with India Today's sister channel, The Lallantop, the actor addressed the culture and said, 'There are two types of things happening-people running behind with phones, and then there are trolls. Both are things my kids have been dealing with for a very long time. I wouldn't say it's something new, because both have seen a lot. Nysa has seen more, and I don't know why. She was very small when photographers started following her. Even at that point, we tried to protect them, but you can't protect them completely.'advertisementShe further added, 'You can explain things to them, talk to them, and tell them that this is also a part of this world, it might feel bad at this point, but don't pay attention to it. Especially the trolls, because if you really look at it, they are just 0.5 percent. The remaining 99.5 percent are people saying good things about them. So I tell my children to focus on that 99.5 percent, those people are genuine.' 'I also try to explain to them that they need to decide whose opinion matters to them. So I think conversations like these are something every parent should have with their children,' she Kajol was last seen in 'Maa'. Directed by Vishal Furia, 'Maa' marks Kajol's first venture into horror in her over 30-year-long career. The film shares its universe with the 2023 supernatural thriller 'Shaitaan', which featured her husband, actor Ajay Devgn. Kajol stars as Ambika, a mother determined to protect her daughter Shweta from harm.'Maa' also features Indraneil Sengupta, Kherin Sharma, and Ronit Roy. The film is presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, produced by Jyoti Deshpande and co-produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak.- EndsMust Watch
