In India the saas-bahu equation is considered a negative one. Slowly but surely some of this conversation is changing the mother-in-law image of Lalita Pawar is giving way to a friendly one. Actors too are talking about their relationships more openly in social media. Bollywood actor Kajol, the wife of Ajay Devgan, took to her Instagram to wish her mother-in-law on her birthday on Friday. In the caption, the actor called her mother-in-law her 'partner in crime'.
Kajol shared a sweet picture with her mother-in-law, and wrote, "Happy birthday to my partner in crime and crab for the last 22 years. Aapki Hansi Kabhi Kam Na ho (May you never stop smiling). #motherbylaw #mominspirit."
Kajol is quite expressive when it comes to her family and relationships. Last year in September, the actor shared a heartfelt note on Instagram for her mother Tanuja on her birthday. Expressing her love towards her mother, Kajol called her a warrior and expressed gratitude for showing her all avatars of a woman. She wrote, “When I’m with you I’m standing with an army. Happy birthday to the one person who showed me all the avatars of a woman. Warrior, wife, mother, sister, woman, human, and spirit! Happy birthday, momma. Love you so much. Am eternally grateful that u chose me for a daughter.... always and forever. #foreveryourbaby"
Kajol calls her mother-in-law ‘Partner In Crime’
Recently, Kajol revealed how her father Shomu Mukherjee opined against her decision to get married when she was just 24. Although she has been happily married to her husband Ajay Devgn for almost two decades, she said her father wanted her to work more before tying the knot. “My mother made me independent, and my daughter is as independent as I am. She is in her opinions,” she told Mid Day. Continuing further, the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge actor said, “My father was just like why do you want to get married, you’re so young and your career is doing so well.” “Ajay and I were very different people, so lots of people had reservations as to what we would be like as a couple and we were not very social even then. Not a lot of people had met us together or knew what we were like together,” she added. Read about it more here.
Kajol was last seen in her debut Netflix release Tribhanga. Written and directed by Renuka Shahane, while the production was handled by Ajay Devgn FFilms, Banijay Group Asia, and Alchemy Films, the film tells the story of three generations of women and society’s proclivity to label and judge them no matter what choices they make in their lives. Showing us the different facets of motherhood, an experience which is as strenuous and beautiful as the classical dance pose that the film draws its name from, Tribhanga sets out to prove how there is no perfect way to be a mother.
