Kajol is one of the most bubbly and down-to-earth celebrities in Bollywood. And this is the direct result of how mum, veteran actress Tanuja, raised her. The Devi actress recently opened up about her mother, the things she was taught as a child, and how that has made her a better person and helped her raise her own children.


Speaking to Hindustan Times, Kajol shared, "I never had a rebellion as such with my mother. I had the most amazing relationship with her because she is amazing. Everything that she did in my life, every decision that she made, she explained it to me in the way I could understand it. Whether it was my parents breaking up, whether it was going to work or being a working woman."


She adds, "Whatever the bigger points in my life, she sat down, discussed with me, explained it to me, she waited for me to understand, figure things out and accept them before she got up from her chair and said 'discussion over'."


Further speaking about mum Tanuja's parenting style, Kajol said, "I am grateful for her upbringing of me. I feel like I am a better person and adult today because of the things she taught me when I was a child. She always spoke to me like she wanted me to be a better adult. If I have done even a quarter of that with my daughter and my son, I think I would have brought up two wonderful kids."

On the work front, Kajol was last seen on the big screen in the historical action blockbuster Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, co-starring her husband Ajay Devgn. Her next film, Tribhanga, will release on January 15. The film is directed by Renuka Shahane and also stars Tanvi Azmi and Mithila Palkar.
