Actor Kajol recently opened out on paving her own way in Bollywood, stating that the audience’s admiration for her work was more important to her career than her familial connections. Kajol revealed at an Expresso session that she always felt at ease taking time off from work.
“It isn’t about legacy. It is every woman’s work. Nargis, Sharmila Tagore had no legacy. What I am today isn’t because of my lineage. It is the legacy of every woman who has worked. Every woman has to take a call that now I will take a break and if I want to come back, I will come back and she will be able to do that if she wants to,” she stated.
The actor continued, “If you see my filmography, I am probably the least worked actor. My mom (veteran actor Tanuja) and grandmom (late director and actor Shobhna Samarth) always told me that work is a part of your life not your whole life. I did take breaks. I wanted to get married and have kids. Thankfully I am still working and I’m still relevant… I am thankful to everyone for having a good taste so far.”
