In a recent interview, Kajol discussed her childhood and how her parents, veteran actress Tanuja and filmmaker Shomu Mukherjee, dealt with their divorce. Kajol spoke honestly about how her parents had prioritized the welfare of her and her sister Tanisha even after they parted ways. She also complimented them for their maturity.

Kajol discusses her parents' split

Kajol discussed how her parents placed a high value on co-parenting and emotional stability in an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit. This clarity and consistency, she said, prevented her and her sister, Tanisha, from ever turning one parent against the other.

I must give them credit for that. One thing my parents made clear was that, regardless of whether we are apart or not, we will always be there for you. We will always come to a consensus on the choices we make on your behalf. They could not be pitted against one another. They acted like responsible adults who would put their children's needs first.

When asked if she understood what was going on at the moment, Kajol replied honestly and thoughtfully. "I did. I didn't understand it then, but I did wonder about it. From my adult perspective, I can see how courageous it was for them to make that choice, Kajol said.

Kajol's future endeavors

Kajol is now occupied with promoting her most recent movie, Maa. The mythological horror picture, which Vishal Furia directed, is set to be released in theaters on June 27.
