Kajol, one of the most successful actresses of Bollywood, has recently completed her 25 years in the industry. Very soon her new film VIP 2 opposite Dhanush is going to release on theater.
Apart from being a successful actress Kajol is also a mother of 14-year-old Nysa and six-year-old Yug. Recently in an interview during the promotion event of her upcoming film VIP 2, Kajol has revealed that she and husband Ajay Devgn have taken pains to shield their two children from the public gaze.
Kajol told news agency PTI, “Ajay and I consciously chose to keep kids away from media. Keeping them away from the spotlight at large is an attempt to give the children their space where they are not bogged down by any kind of pressure.”
Ajay and I made a conscious decision to keep our children away from the media. We feel we want to keep them away from the pressure, from the unnecessary burden which will come on them. I don’t want that to happen”, Kajol said.
The actress further added, “They shouldn’t be under pressure by the media, public or even unknowingly by me, to become something. It should be their choice what they want to become, I will give them the platform to have that choice, but the choice has to be theirs with a free and clear mind.”

Kajol also reveals that the children are well aware of the kind of work she and Ajay do. “Yug knows his father is an action star and he has done so many films. But at the end of the day, we have to explain to them that this is work, this is an outer personality which people look at us from the outside. We are your parents first and after that everything else,” continued the actress.
Post marriage and pregnancy, Kajol’s Box Office outings have dwindled. Ask her if she feels that she had to make sacrifices for her family, Kajol concludes, “It is no sacrifice. I had children because I wanted to take their responsibility. It is really not a sacrifice, they are my top priority. Work is a part of my life and if God willing, it will forever be but my family, kids, they are life itself.”
Earlier this week, Kajol spoke to mid-day about the media’s focus on star kids, describing the paparazzi as ‘bullies’ who harass ‘impressionable teenagers.’ She denounced a recent episode in which Shah Rukh Khan’s 17-year-old daughter Suhana was hounded by cameras while out with friends. “If something like this were to happen with Nysa or Yug, I’d be infuriated,” Kajol told mid-day, adding, “We signed up for this, they didn’t.”
On the professional front, Kajol is currently prepping for Tamil release “VIP 2″, co-starring Dhanush and directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth. Ajay Devgn’s next film is “Baadshaho”.
