Kajol shares her thoughts on the significance of Parents’ Day

Bollywood actress Kajol, who is an avid social media user, has shared her thoughts on the significance of Parents’ Day, expressing that the title feels too small to truly honour the role parents play in our lives. Taking to her Instagram handle, the “Dilwale” actress shared that she believes that parenthood deserves a larger and more meaningful acknowledgment beyond just a single day of celebration.

Kajol posted a smiling photo of herself alongside her mother, Tanuja, and her mother-in-law, Veena Devgan. She also dropped images of her father Shomu Mukherjee and father-in-law Veeru Devgan. For the caption, the “Do Patti” actress wrote, “Parents Day feels too small a name for what they’ve done for me. But here’s a post anyway. And a big thank you to you 4 #happyparentsday.”

Celebrities have marked National Parents’ Day by paying heartfelt tributes to their parents. Sanjay Dutt’s sister, Priya Dutt, took to social media to honour the legacy of their parents, legendary actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis. In an emotional tribute, Priya reflected on the most meaningful gift her parents gave her—a life guided by love and purpose. She took to Instagram to share a monochrome photo and video of Sunil Dutt and Nargis, accompanied by a heartfelt message.

“Children are a reflection of their parents. I watched my parents stand for what mattered. They showed me what it means to serve with sincerity, to lead with heart, and to give without needing recognition. They were my strength, my soft place to land, and the reason I believe in the goodness of people. Their actions and their values became my path to follow. This Parents’ Day, I celebrate the greatest gift they gave me, a life rooted in purpose and love. Today as a parent i have their blueprint to follow to pass on this legacy to my children. To all Parents out there #HappyParentsDay,” she wrote as the caption.

Observed annually on the fourth Sunday of July, National Parents’ Day recognizes the vital role parents play in nurturing future generations and shaping the fabric of society. For the unversed, the day was formally introduced in 1994 when US President Bill Clinton signed a congressional resolution to highlight the importance of parental care and guidance.

Meanwhile, the two ladies from Bollywood who never shy away from speaking their mind — Kajol and Twinkle Khanna have joined forces for an exciting chat show, “Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle”. Before Kajol and Twinkle’s show premieres, let us turn back the clock and look at an old conversation between the two ladies when the “DDLJ” actress opened up about age anxiety.

When Twinkle asked Kajol if being an actor, she ever worries about ageing, she revealed that, as a matter of fact, she does worry about it. Kajol shared that, according to her, ageing has to do with energy more than the lines on your face. “I think people look at how you are saying what you’re saying. I feel more than the lines on the face, age shows in people’s eyes, when they get tired, when they get bored of what they are doing — that’s when people start noticing the lines and the wrinkles,” the “Maa” actress added.

“So, I worry about it, yes, I am concerned about it- who isn’t, and I do my daily routine religiously,” Kajol added. Shedding light on her daily routine, she shared, “I am extremely careful about drinking my eight glasses of water. I have to have my 8 to 10 hours of sleep at least. I wash my face every night religiously, put my cream on, and I am like — ‘now I am ready to go to bed’. And I take very-very good care of myself, I workout, I do all of it.” Coming back to “Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle”, the show was announced on Tuesday.
