Happy Birthday Kajol! Ajay Devgn wishes wife in the most romantic way possible!

Born on August 5, 1974, Kajol is a complete family person. The actress, who has been immensely appreciated for her performances in films, has been consciously being choosy in her work post her marriage and especially after entering motherhood. We take a look at some of her candid pictures with her family. (All pictures courtesy: Kajol and Ajay Devgn's Instagram accounts)

Kajol had posted this picture with her sister Tanishaa Mukerji and late father Shomu Mukherjee on Father's Day. She wrote alongside, "So today I want to take this opportunity and tell all the fathers out there to give this precious gift to their little girls 'BELIEF', its the most powerful magic there is. Believe in your daughters so fiercely that they know, that's what they should be looking for in the world and they shouldn't ever settle for less. Not be pressurized by society, family or anything else. Give them the power of 'Self-belief'."

Little Kajol lovingly hugs her mother Tanuja in this wonderful black-and-white photo from childhood. Doesn't she remind you of her daughter Nysa Devgan now?

Kajol married Ajay Devgn on February 24, 1999. There was wide scrutiny about their relationship since Ajay is an introvert and Kajol exactly the opposite. Their love story is also different. Ajay once revealed that while they were very much in love during their dating days, they hardly said 'I love you' to each other, and even a formal proposal was never made. As Ajay put it, "We just grew with each other, and marriage was imminent though it was never discussed."

Kajol gave birth to daughter Nysa on April 20, 2003. She was blessed with son Yug on September 13, 2010.

"She (Nysa Devgn) is just 16 years old. I think you (media and people) can give her a break and some space. Recently, she has celebrated her 16th birthday. Right now, she is studying in 10th Standard and she is preparing for her board exams," said Kajol.

Kajol and Nysa are all smiles in this beautiful selfie. As Nysa turned 16 this year, Kajol took to Instagram to post a sweet message. She wrote - "Happy 16th birthday to my sweet sweet baby. I still feel the weight of you in my arms and I don't think that will ever change. However old you grow, know that you will always be my heartbeat. Always!"

Terrific trio! Kajol with mother Tanuja and sister Tanishaa. Recently, the veteran actress underwent surgery as she was undergoing treatment for abdominal pain at Lilavati Hospital in Bandra, Mumbai. Tanuja was diagnosed with diverticulitis.

He said, "I won't be able to stop her, but right now, she doesn't want to become an actor. Of course, tomorrow cannot be predicted."

Ajay Devgn and Kajol make for a picture-perfect couple in this dreamy photo! The couple celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in February, this year.

Kajol's daughter Nysa made her red carpet debut with father Ajay Devgn at London Indian Film Festival (LIFF) in 2016. This picture was clicked at the event.

Kajol has worked in Bollywood for more than 25 years now. She has featured in hits like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and My Name is Khan. Interestingly, she revealed that she never wanted to be an actor.

"I never wanted to be an actor actually. I didn't think if it was worth the money that was being paid out. I didn't think it was worth the effort and I definitely thought my mother worked too hard for whatever she was doing and however we were at that point of time," Kajol said.

Kajol added that she told her mother Tanuja that she wanted a "paycheck at the end of the month". Kajol feels Bollywood is a very erratic industry and acting is an erratic profession.

After Helicopter Eela, which released on October 12, 2018, she was seen alongside husband actor Ajay Devgn in the period film Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior. While Ajay plays Maratha warrior Tanhaji Malusare, Kajol plays his wife Savitribai Malusare.

Kajol doesn't miss being on a film set as often as she used to. Do you know the reason?

"My kids also need me a lot. We think that once your child will grow up he or she will not need you but after our marriage also, we need our parents for their support. So, I enjoy my life and I don't think I should work just for the heck of it," said Kajol.

Well, Kajol is a complete family person, and her explanation and these pictures are enough proof of this.
