Kajol is undoubtedly one of the finest actresses of her generation in Bollywood. She has been a part of cult-favourite films, and has been hailed no less than an icon by her massive fan base. Even at the age of 48, she continues to charm everyone with her aura, grace and personality, which is simply outstanding. For the unversed, she is currently busy promoting two of her new projects, Lust Stories 2 and The Trial: Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhokha. And recently, she opened up about two of her iconic projects and revealed their effects on the audience.
In a recent interview with the Humans Of Cinema, Kajol opened up on the kind of effect, two of her films have made on the mentality of her audience. She took reference to the Karwa Chauth rituals, which she had portrayed both in her films, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham and revealed how it had changed the perspectives of the huge masses of men and women. She mentioned how people would earlier observe this ritual in a very simplistic manner, but now they do it with all the unnecessary grandeur, and demand to wear good clothes mandatorily. In her words:
“Karwachauth in K3G and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge has spoilt Karwa Chauth for all men and women. Now they have to wear good clothes. Earlier, it was just a simple ceremony. Suddenly Karwa Chauth became this big function, a fashion deal where everyone has to get dressed. Women have to wear jewellery, poori dukaan ban kar baith jaao bas. Bhookh bhi chalegi as long as you are looking good while you are starving. It has become an event. Now even paparazzi come outside our house to see ki chaand ko dekha ya nahi iss saal.”

In an earlier interview with the Mid-Day, Kajol opened up about some unheard anecdotes in her personal life. She spoke about being surrounded by strong women and even a stronger family, which included her mother-in-law, Veena Devgn. She also added how the latter was among the first ones who had encouraged her to resume work soon after she gave birth to her daughter, Nysa. In her words:
“I have the most amazing family, who supports me beautifully. In fact, my mother-in-law was one of the first people to tell me that I should start working after Nysa was born. They said, don't worry about her and we are there for you. My husband adjusts his schedule according to me. So, if I have an outdoor shoot, he makes sure that he doesn't have one and vice versa, you know we do that for each other.”
In her personal life, Kajol is happily married to phenomenal actor, Ajay Devgn. The duo often treat their fans with their hilarious banter about their personal life.
