Kajol, Ajay Devgn share glimpse from daughter Nysa's graduation ceremony, she attends wearing a saree: ‘So proud, wholly emotional'

Kajol and Ajay Devgn have several reasons to be proud of. On the professional front, their mythological horror film Maa, which released in cinemas last month, earned over Rs 36 crore at the domestic box office. On the personal front, their daughter Nysa Devgan has graduated from Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland.
On Tuesday, Kajol and Ajay shared a joint social media post in which they showed glimpses of the graduation ceremony from Switzerland. The video contained a balcony view from their hotel, Nysa's portrait with a graduation hat, and a family picture of the parents, Nysa, and her younger brother, Yug Devgan, all decked up for the graduation ceremony.
The caption of the social media post stated: 'Such a special occasion .. so proud (smile with tear emoji)… and wholly emotional.' They also added the hashtags — 'Graduation,' 'First baby,' and 'She's an adult.' While the couple didn't share videos from inside the graduation ceremony, several others from the occasion surfaced on social media.

In a video gone viral, as Nysa's name is announced and she goes up on the stage to receive her degree, one can hear Kajol screaming, 'Proud of you, baby' despite the roaring applause and noise in the auditorium. Her enthusiastic reaction reminded many fans of her zealous character Anjali from Karan Johar's 2001 blockbuster family drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
In an interview with SCREEN, Kajol admitted she's like that mom from K3G who'd whistle and hoot whenever her child is on the stage. In the film, despite her husband, Shah Rukh Khan's Rahul, warning her not to create a scene at the annual event of the London school, Kajol's Anjali couldn't help but rush to the stage in order to finish her son Krish's rendition of the Indian National Anthem.
'Trust me, it really embarrasses my kids. They have much more severe reactions than that poor child ever did,' Kajol said, adding, 'Whenever I'm at any of Yug's musicals or any of Nysa's stage performances, and she's standing with 15 other girls, and I'm just clapping, she'd be like (shooing her away) (laughs). So, it's happened lots of times.'
At the trailer launch of Maa, when pr0ducer Ajay Devgn was asked why he didn't consider casting Nysa as Kajol's daughter in the film, he replied, 'Right now, she's not interested in any of this.' Meanwhile, Yug has made his voice acting debut by lending the voice to lead character Li Fong in the Hindi dubbed version of Jonathan Entwistle's Hollywood martial arts film Karate Kid: Legends. Ajay has lent the Hindi voice to Li's mentor, Mr. Han, played by Jackie Chan.

Devgn will be next seen reprising his memorable role of Jassi Randhawa in Vijay Kumar Arora's action comedy Son of Sardaar 2, which will release in cinemas this Friday on August 1. Meanwhile, Kajol was seen in Kayoze Irani's patriotic drama Sarzameen, which dropped on JioHotstar last week.
