Kajol gushes over relationship with teen daughter Nysa: I miss her so much

Kajol isn’t one of those moms who has to beg her lookalike daughter Nysa, who’s studying in Singapore, to keep in touch. The two are able to talk to each other about a lot of things, Kajol says.

If Kajol ever needs an actor to play her younger self, she may want to convince her daughter, 15-year-old Nysa Devgn, to head into showbiz. The teen looks just like her famous mom. Kajol and Nysa may share the same good-looks, but the actor has said they have a lot more in common than just their appearance.

“We definitely share shoes, manicures and pedicures,” Kajol told DNA in an interview, subtly suggesting they share a very close bond by adding, “We have that kind of a relationship where we are able to talk to each other about a lot of things. But not everything because at the end of the day, I’m her mother. I still scold her and she will be like, ‘But whyyyy mom!’. So, overall, we are in a good space.”

In the last few decades as an actor, Kajol has garnered a reputation for being extremely guarded about her personal life, especially her children, Nysa and Yug, 7. But as the rest of the DNA interview reveals, Kajol doesn’t seem so worried now about expressing her love for her children. 

As any mother can tell you, staying away from your child can be downright overwhelming. And Kajol is keeping it real about her daughter, who is studying in Singapore. Kajol has revealed how listening to ‘Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone’ by Bill Withers made her think, “I’m missing my baby”. But she doesn’t mind Nysa living in a different country as they fight less now.

“I don’t know whether we have gotten closer, but we definitely don’t fight as much as we used to. Things just don’t seem as important as they were when you lived with that person under the same roof. Also, I miss her so much that I just want us to be happy together whenever we meet,” Kajol said in the interview. 

Meanwhile, Kajol’s actor-husband Ajay Devgn previously admitted in a Hindustan Times interview that the decision to send Nysa abroad to complete her schooling was not easy. “I am still shaken up. She’s only 14, and she has never been alone and left the house. The whole family is a little upset, but she’s adjusting there well, so I am happy about that,” Ajay said.
