In a recent interview, the actress candidly revealed that she has faced tough choices in her personal life too, one of them being her decision to marry Ajay Devgn.

Speaking to IANS, Kajol said, “Actually, a lot of instances in my life made me make tough decisions. The fact that I got married at the peak of my career, the fact that I actually joined the film industry, it was a game changer for me because I didn’t know whether I wanted to join the film industry or not.” Kajol and Ajay Devgn got married in 1999 after dating each other for a few years. They are parents to two children, a daughter, Nysa, and a son, Yug.

During the interview, Kajol also revealed that she initially had mixed feelings about joining the profession. However, her father, renowned producer Shomu Mukherjee, advised her to be absolutely certain before making a decision. Kajol recounted his words, stating, “You’re never going to get rid of this paint on your face. Once you put it on, it’s on forever.” At that moment, she believed she could remove it whenever she desired. However, as time passed, Kajol acknowledged that her father’s words proved to be true.
