Kajol Missed Having Food Not Made At Home During Lockdown
Kajol didn’t cook, unlike most others who had been experimenting with cooking for the entire lockdown. But she spent her time reading, working out and as she said, she loves her cerebral pursuits. Kajol added that during the lockdown, she spent quality time with her family too. Also, the actress said that she missed having food that was not made at home.
“I Deeply Respect The Upbringing I Had”……
Kajol is very open about the relationship with her mother Tanuja and she totally adores it. Speaking about her mother, Kajol said, “I and my mom have a fabulous relationship. We have a great relationship. I tell her quite often. Being a parent, I deeply respect the upbringing that I had as a child, which allows me to be the kind of parent I am to my own daughter.” About Nysa, Kajol said, “I like to believe that I am my daughter’s friend. I am most of the time. I like my daughter as a person. She is funny, she is cool. She makes me roll on the floor laughing, and yes I do go to her for advice. We have a good relationship.” The story of her upcoming Netflix firm Tribhanga, which is releasing on January 15, also spans around the relationship of mother-daughter-grandmother, but there the mother-daughter relationship is very different from Kajol’s real life.
Kajol, who plays the role of an Odissi dancer in the film, shares a soured relationship with her on-screen mother, played by Tanvi Azmi. The film deals with the ups and downs of three women with unconventional choices. As Kajol said, “It is an internet generational film. Its a film about mothers, daughters, grandmothers, and its about how relationships can go very very wrong. And still, you have this umbilical cord that is never going to get cut and whatever happens, at the end of the day, you have to resolve your problems because she is your mom.”
