Ajay Devgn once admitted that he relies on his kids' expertise to get a sense of the latest fashion and fads in the world, and how they also often call him out for getting something wrong. (Photo: Manish Malhotra/Instagram)

"I think we all learn from the younger generation. If we have to keep up with the world, we need to understand from them. Apart from my kids, my nephews, and everybody who is younger around me, we actually ask them what's cool because the language is also changing every three months. I mean there are terms which are used and then you learn that term and use it and after three months, they turn around and say ‘Pops, this is old fashion!," said Ajay in an old conversation with India Today.

Kajol once called her husband Ajay Devgn a hands-on parent who waits up when their daughter Nysa goes out at night and also often wakes up in the morning to send son Yug to school. (Photo: Ajay Devgn/Instagram)

Kajol also shared that Ajay pitches in with the kids whenever he can. (Photo: Ajay Devgn/Instagram)

In Kajol's words, "I have to say that Ajay is very, very, very hands-on. Like, if I have to get up at 7 with Yug for school, half the times he will get up, sit with him, have breakfast with him, send him to school, etc. I don’t have to get up every day. Now, when he’s working out, he sits with him for his classes. He spends a lot of time with the kids; he’s very hands-on.” (Photo: Kajol/Instagram)

She added, “If she (Nysa) goes out at night, he’s the one waiting up for her to come back, to open the door for her. He’s the one who does all that." (Photo: Kajol/Instagram)

Ajay Devgn also shared his anger after his daughter became a victim of trolls. (Photo: Ajay Devgn/Instagram)

During an interaction with the reporters in New Delhi in 2019, Ajay said that social media users should not judge his children. (Photo: Ajay Devgn/Instagram)

"Judge me, but don't judge my kids. Kajol and I are the actors, judge us...it's because of us, our children are under the spotlight every time,'' Ajay said to IANS. (Photo: Ajay Devgn/Instagram)

"Being judgmental about someone is not a good thing. If I start passing a judgement on someone, that person would obviously feel bad...so do my children," added the actor. (Photo: Ajay Devgn/Instagram)

Ajay also said that such people don't really matter to him but he feels bad sometimes when his kids go through such harsh trolling. (Photo: Ajay Devgn/Instagram)
