Over the years, Kajol and
have balanced busy film careers with a close-knit family life.
Kajol recently shared funny and sweet memories of her pregnancies and revealed how she and the 'Singham' actor have always managed family life together without sticking to old rules.
'We share responsibilities'
The 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' actress said that in their house, there are no strict roles about who does what. Everything is shared. 'I don't think we ever functioned that way.
We share responsibilities. If I'm there, I do things. If he's there, he does it. It's as simple as that," she explained.
When it comes to looking after the kids, Kajol is relieved that they've moved past the nappy stage. 'The best thing is that our children don't need to get their nappies changed anymore. Thank god for that (laughs),' she said.
She then revealed something cheeky about Ajay. 'When Nysa and Yug were babies, Ajay did change their nappies once or twice.
He may tell you that he did it more than two times but I would've to disagree on that point."
Now that the kids are older, Kajol said life at home is a lot easier. 'We've passed that stage and nobody needs to take that responsibility anymore. We're good. Today, it's more about supervision and talking to our children about their issues. It's much easier to swap those roles around," she shared.
'It was so precious'
Kajol also took a moment to remember when she found out she was pregnant for the first time.

In April 2003, she gave birth to Nysa. 'I wasn't surprised or overwhelmed," she said. 'It was so precious. It was one of those feelings where I wanted to touch wood all the time and make sure that everything goes perfectly well because what was happening was so awesome. I felt like the magic of the universe was within me."
'Pretty much chill' the second time
When she was pregnant with Yug, who was born in September 2010, Kajol said she was a lot calmer. 'It was still amazing but I was calmer and cooler about it.
I wasn't upset or worried. I wasn't calling up the doctor every two minutes to ask, 'Oh god, this has happened! What do I do?' I knew what was going to happen and where things were going. I was well-aware about how I would progress in the third and the fourth months. I had a lot more fun when I was pregnant for the second time," Kajol said.
Staying active helped
Kajol also shared that working out during both her pregnancies kept her feeling normal and allowed her to enjoy the experience even more. She said that staying active gave her a huge boost and helped her remain part of the everyday world. Without doing her regular activities, she would have felt very detached, almost like the world was moving in one direction while she was on a completely different path. Kajol mentioned that her second pregnancy, in particular, helped her stay connected to normal life.

Movie Review: Metro… In Dino — When City Lights Meet Quiet Hearts

Some movies feels like a distinct aching memory with feels like reality, Metro In Dino is such a film, its raw, real, authentic and deeply rooted and emotional. The film doesn't draw a forced dramatic picture, but it is breath organically and allows audience to relate with it, with its characters and their flawed, yet relatable intellect and lives. The film parts with one simple notion, what if you simply paused and felt? The Bengali showman, Anurag Basu is back with his signature touch, weaving an authentic tales by intertwining lives across a shared emotional map, but this time, it's more subtle, and reflective. A spiritual follow-up to Life in a Metro trades intensity for intimacy, and offers something we have never seen before or felt before! The film flows through several stories: Monty (Pankaj) and Kajol (Konkona) live in a marriage worn thin by time. Kajol's mother Shibani (Neena Gupta), is full of laughter on the outside, but inside, years of being sidelined weigh her down. Akash (Ali Fazal) and Shruti (Fatima Sana Shaikh) portray a love fraying at the edges, stretched too far by distance and disappointment. And amid this beautifully fractured ensemble, we meet Chumki (Sara Ali Khan) and Parth (Aditya Roy Kapur), strangers caught in an unpredictable equation of mistrust and maybe-love. The entire ensemble is rich and seasoned, but it's the Sara Ali Khan, who steal the show with her transformative role. She plays the role of Chumki, a young woman navigating her path through emotional fog, she is hesitant, guarded, yet yearning. She offers a whole different texture and grit for her role that looks raw, real and authentic, a long departure from her vibrant and energetic previous roles. She bring an eerie silence, poise, and longing to her role that feels so soul-stirring. She eyes does the talking, her impactful moments aren't loud, they are painfully real and lands perfectly. At times she says nothing, and her silence is deafening on-screen. The music of the film is outstanding and brilliant, Pritam's music flow like thoughts, carrying the narrative, and emotion forward, they don't interrupt scenes — they become part of their being. The emotional landscape and dealing in the film is the real winner, characters unspoken generational trauma, midlife crisis, tired hope and loneliness, everything feels heartbreakingly familiar and real. The performances are outstanding and brilliant, but Sara Ali Khan shines above everyone else! The first half is quick, but the film slows down in the second half, and some stories land harder than others, this intentional narrative trick doesn't feels less like a flaw and more like life itself, which is unpredictable, unresolved, and always in moving forward. The film is far from being a spectacle, it is a slow dance with reality, and allows you to feel and breath with it, the film may not change your life, but it might remind you of something you forgot along the way. And if you're still wondering whether Sara Ali Khan can surprise you — this film is your quiet yes.

Kajol has been an integral part of the Bollywood industry ever since she was young. Having been in the industry for over the past 2 decades, the Maa actress has seen the paparazzi culture evolve. Because of this, it's not just her or her superstar husband Ajay Devgn who have been in the limelight, but their children Nysa and Yug too have been on the radar. Talking about how these two kids have been handling the constant attention, the actress quipped that they have done it with a lot more grace than she ever could.
