Elaborating further, Kajol laughed and said, 'Kuch cheezein bhoolni bohot zaruri hai, aur kuch cheezein na sunni bohot zaruri hai (It's very important to forget certain things, and equally important not to hear some things.)'

" Unki khaasiyat hai, vo kisi bhi cheez ko ek baar taste karte hai, he would know how to make it exactly the same. He would never tell you his secret ingredients for his recipes. (His speciality is that he would eat a dish once and would know how to make it) Kajol and Ajay's relationship
Kajol has been married to Ajay for over two decades. The duo had met for the first time on the sets of their film, Hulchul, in 1995. They dated for almost 4 years and tied the knot in 1999. Over the years, they've balanced successful film careers with family life, raising two children, Nysa (born in 2003) and Yug (born in 2010). The couple has also charmed their fans onscreen by collaborating in nine films together-- like Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, Ishq, Dil Kya Kare, Raju Chacha and U, Me Aur Hum, to name a few.

They first met in 1995, and their love blossoming on the sets of their 1997 film Ishq. They tied the knot in 1999. However, in real life, the couple maintain a friend-like bond and don't have traditional 'date nights'. This, Kajol said in a new interview, could be the secret to their marriage. In a recent interview with Mashable India, Kajol shared that their opposite energies is the biggest reason they've stayed together. 'Ajay and I are completely different otherwise hum logo ko itne saal nahi lagte (it wouldn't have taken us so long), we would have separated long before.' Ajay, who is known as a man of few words, has been married to Kajol for 26 years. Sharing how she matches her energy with him, Kajol said, 'I say this quite often that the secret to happy marriage is partial deafness and selective amnesia.

Either he is working or travelling or I am working or travelling. So whenever we find some time, we try and stay at home with everybody else. No date nights as such.' When asked if their bonding is more friend-like than romantic, Kajol said, 'Kitne saal hogaye shadi ke (We have been married for too long), you can't expect me to blush when I am talking about him.' Previously, talking to Instant Bollywood, Kajol shared how she deals with Ajay's obsession with work and said, 'Sometimes I feel like, 'Acha hua 40 din ka outdoor hai', and sometimes I feel like, 'Damn, you should have been here for this'.
