In a poignant social media post, Bollywood actress Kajol delved into the realm of motherhood, sharing heartfelt sentiments as she anticipated her daughter Nysa’s twenty-first birthday. As Kajol and her star husband Ajay Devgn brace for Nysa’s milestone on April 20th, the actress’s reflections painted a tender picture of how motherhood has shaped her.
Nysa, born in 2003, was Kajol’s first venture into parenthood, which she embarked upon with her partner Ajay. Together, they also share a son named Yug. In a gesture that bridges the past with the present, Kajol posted an old photograph that captured her embracing a young Nysa, moments that seem to encapsulate her journey as a mother.
With evident emotion, Kajol’s caption bore revelations of her personal experience: “Tomorrow is Nysa’s 21st birthday but today is about me and how I became a mom.” She continued with a poetic sensibility, sharing how Nysa had fulfilled her “greatest wish” and has been a source of joy every single day by simply being herself. The actress articulated a deep sense of gratitude and wonderment at her daughter’s unwavering love and support.
Further accentuating the bond, she described the bubbling laughter and pride that Nysa inspires within her, stating, “It’s like a call to arms for a very loved cause,” whenever her daughter calls her ‘mama’. Kajol also confessed a whimsical wish to sometimes “wrap her up and store her back in my stomach for a day” to revisit the feeling of her “heart back in the body it started out from.” Kajol surmised that the word ‘love’ barely begins to describe what a parent feels for their child; it is an emotion that transcends the ordinary—a feeling profound and boundless.
As Nysa stands on the brink of fully fledged adulthood, her mother is concurrently taking a moment to appreciate her own evolution through motherhood—a role that has evidently been as transformative for Kajol as it has been endearing.
On the professional fort, Kajol is poised for a new endeavor that promises to captivate audiences with thriller elements and suspense. She has concluded filming ‘Do Patti’, alongside co-star Kriti Sanon, under Shashanka Chaturvedi’s direction. The film pledges to lead viewers through an intrigue-fueled journey set against the picturesque landscape of North India.
Moreover, ‘Do Patti’ represents the first instance that Kriti Sanon and writer Kanika Dhillon have stepped into the producer’s role. For Kajol, the movie is a continuation of her partnership with Netflix, following ‘Tribhanga’ and ‘Lust Stories 2’, embracing the streaming platform’s global reach and ability to engage with diverse and widespread audiences.
The cumulative anticipation for ‘Do Patti’ was evident in Kajol’s own words as she shared, “The opportunity to be on streaming has been truly exciting… ‘Do Patti’ has a standout script that promises a unique blend of adventure and mystery.” She emphasized that while the film is deeply rooted in Indian culture, it is equally capable of ensnaring the imagination of entertainment enthusiasts far beyond the country’s borders.
Kajol’s intertwining of her maternal insights and her passion for her craft casts her as an archetype of modern womanhood—committed to her family while relentlessly pursuing her professional aspirations. As Nysa embarks on her twenty-first year, she does so with a mother whose own journey continues to inspire and resonate with many.
