At the Expresso event in Mumbai, acclaimed Bollywood star Kajol reflected her perspective on carving out her unique legacy in the film industry. Coming from a renowned film family, Kajol has made a mark with her selective yet impactful filmography. Speaking about her journey and choices, she expressed gratitude for the audiences’ enduring appreciation for her work.
Embracing a Balanced Career
Addressing her career choices, Kajol reflected on her approach to balancing work and personal life. She pointed out that, compared to her peers, she has taken relatively long breaks. Her mother, veteran actor Tanuja, and her grandmother, Shobhna Samarth, always emphasized that work is a part of life, not the entirety. “I wanted to get married, have children, and live life,” Kajol noted, adding humorously, “I’m thankful to everyone for having good taste so far.”
Redefining Legacy Beyond Lineage
Despite her film family background, Kajol emphasized that her achievements are based on her work rather than her lineage. “It isn’t about legacy; it’s about the work of every woman. Stars like Nargis and Sharmila Tagore had no legacy to rely on, yet they thrived,” she said. Kajol views her success as a continuation of the legacy of hardworking women who take ownership of their careers and confidently take breaks, returning to the screen when they choose to.
