In addition to being a versatile actress, Kajol is a powerful icon whose ideas have an impact on people, particularly women. She has consistently come across as a headstrong person who lives her life the way she wants throughout a career spanning more than three decades. The DDLJ star discussed how his maternal lineage helped him grow into a strong person in an interview with ANI.
“I never gave ‘log kya kahenge’ much thought in my life. My mother was a wonderful mother who raised me. My mother raised me with no regard for society at all. In fact, my maternal lineage is Amazing. Everyone who has raised me, from my great grandmother to my grandmother to my mother, has treated me well and set a good example for me, teaching me that no one else matters, your life is your responsibility, and no one else’s opinion matters,” Kajol said.
Kajol doesn’t think it’s right to give someone else control over her life. “Begin by accepting accountability for your life… Your decisions are your own; society does not control them. Second, society must ultimately accept the life that each individual chooses to live. As my great-grandmother once said, “Grandma lived her life,” The two’s perspectives on life and the world were surprisingly dissimilar. To this day, my mother still essentially lives her life. I’m attempting to live my life in his manner.
Tanuja, a well-known actor, and Shomu Mukherjee, a late director, welcomed Kajol into the world on August 5, 1974. Shobhana Samarth, Tanuja’s mother, and Kumarsen Samarth, her father, were both actors.
Kajol welcomed the year 2020 with a stunning collage on social media that revealed her ancestry. The actress, her mother Tanuja, deceased maternal grandmother Shobhana Samarth, and deceased aunt Nutan, all of whom had illustrious careers in Indian cinema, are all depicted in the collage. She captioned the photo, “Where have I come from…a true feminist! #strongwomen #livelearnlove.”
In the meantime, Kajol is receiving praise for her work in the Suparn Verma-produced web series The Trial – Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka.
The courtroom drama The Good Wife, with Julianna Margulies in the lead role, has been adapted for the Indian market. Kajol portrays Noyonika Sengupta, a housewife who picks up law after her husband is imprisoned due to a public scandal.
Nayonika overcomes the challenging obstacles thrown her way by destiny as she pursues justice for her husband while driven to prove herself in the cutthroat legal profession.
“Complexities are what define a character for me, and the layers around Nayonika are what stood out to me when the role first came up,” Kajol said when discussing the show. Noyonika struck a personal chord with me, and I immediately felt protective of her. This experience strengthened my decision to make The Trial – Love, Law, Cheat my first foray into the longer format. The characters’ flaws collide with the harsh circumstances life throws their way in Suparn Verma’s world. The Trial also includes Jisshu Sengupta, Kubbra Sait, Sheeba Chaddha, Aly Khan, and Gaurav Pandey.
